Happy 4th Birthday Maddison!

Sunday we stayed in town one more day to help celebrate Maddison's 4th birthday...man how time flies! Of course, no party at MawMaw's is complete without some swimming! Kylee enjoyed joining Maddison and Ava in the big pool. She even got a few gifts of her own from those that won't be making it to her birthday party. Thank you Joey and Lori and Parren and Aunt Courtney for the great gifts! They are greatly appreciated. And, of course, happy birthday Maddison! You are growing to be such a beatutiful little girl!

Mr. and Mrs. Dartez

Saturday we were honored to be part of Falen and Scott's big day. Kylee was the flower girl..if that's what you would like to call it! She was not fond of all the attention and did not want to participate in any of the picture taking, yet she was still beautiful as can be! Congratulations Falen and Scott, we are truely happy for you and look forward to seeing you spend the rest of your lives together!

Practice, Practice, Practice

Friday afternoon we loaded up the whole bunch for a trip back to the Bluff for Falen and Scott's wedding rehersal. Kylee was chosen to be flower girl and I was interested to see how she would handle the walk. Well, needless to say, practice does not make perfect! Kylee klung to me like a leach and only let loose one time during rehersal to walk with Brooke and Conner, the ring bearer. She did, however, have a blast playing with Falen's bow bouquet.

I'm not too sure about this Mom...

Swimtime and Smores

This weekend was another much needed relaxing weekend. Carly and Chloe spent the day with us Saturday. After garage saleing and the girls helping me pick out a new pair of heels we headed back home for some backyard fun! The girls spent all day in the pool with a little break for smores in between. Kylee had a blast with her cousins and we are so glad they broke her in to the water so now she will swim for her party!

MMM good!

Sunday Park Play

Last weekend was our first weekend home with no actvities to attend in a very long time. We spend Saturday cleaning house and made a trip to the park on Sunday. It was our first park trip with just us three and Kylee thoroughly enjoyed all the attention. It was also the first time she played on a big play gym. It took some getting used to but she finally let loose. We left with a swollen lip and one happy child!

Down the big slide all by herself! This one scarred Mommy too

The look on her face was priceless!

Chloe's First Communion

Sunday we joined the Deshotel family in celebrating Chloe's First Communion in Church Point. Chloe was beautiful in her white dress and was so excited to recieve communion for the first time. After mass we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Prejean's. Aside from Kylee being hysterically afraid of the stuffed alligator, it was an enjoyable day!

So pretty..

Easter Sunday 2011

This year we were able to spend Easter Sunday in the comfort of our own home and boy was I glad! It has been such a relaxing day and wer are enjoying our family time together. This morning Kylee was suprised to see that the Easter Bunny had passed and had a blast checking out all her new goodies. After church it was nap time for Kylee and movie time for Mommy and Daddy. Okay, so maybe there was a little nap time for Mommy too :) This afternoon Kylee has been enjoying her new bubbles and sidewalk chalk outside in the beautiful weather. We couldn't ask for a better day!

Easter at the Guillory's

Yesterday was the annual Easter crawfish boil at MawMaw and PawPaw's house. Kylee knocked out her 3rd egg hunt like a pro and had a blast playing with all of her cousins. The crawfish was delicious and it was so great visiting with everyone..especially those we don't see very often. Thank you Mom and Dad for everything!

Good Friday Fish Fry

This year we started our Easter celebration with our traditional fish fry at Kyle's Uncle Mic's house. Kylee got her 2nd Easter egg hunt in and already looked more experienced after her school egg hunt. Kylee had a blast playing with her cousins Abigail, Carly and Chloe and we all enjoyed visiting with family.

Easter Egg Dying 2011

This is Kylee's first year to help dye Easter eggs and I think she took to it pretty well! She was a little hesitant to help with the 2nd egg after getting dye on her hands with the first attempt. She eventually warmed up again when Mommy and Daddy said it was time for bed and she decided she'd rather dye eggs! It is such fun to be able to teach her new things and watch her develop. We love you Kylee!
