Talking to the Animals

Kylie has been funny creating a dialogue with her animals lately. It's entertaining to watch. I got some of it on video. She usually does this every morning.

Finger Painting

I was feeling adventurous today and let Kylie finger paint out in the yard. I saw on the TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8 where Kate let her kids finger paint with chocolate pudding so I tried it. Kylie loved it and stayed pretty clean considering what she was doing. We had a great time.

Kylie's New Friend

Kylie has a new friend named Ava. Ava is two and is just 11 days older than Kylie. They love to play together. Ava's mom, Meg, and I have also become friends. Meg also has an 8 month old girl named Jade. It's been great to meet some nice people to have playdates with! Kylie and Ava at the park.

Kylie likes to take her animals with her down the slide.

Hi Ava!

Kylie's Dollhouse

Kylie got a dollhouse with her birthday money and she just loves it! She plays with her little dolls and even her animals in the house.

Family Beach Trip 2008

We had a great time at the beach with MiMi, PaPa, GaGa, Uncle Cam, Baby Tay Tay, Big PaPa and Mrs. Peggy. Kylie had a good time. She was a little unsure of the ocean but enjoyed the pool and the "sandbox" (the beach). We can't wait to go back next year. A family shot.

Kylie's favorite thing was playing in the sand.

How do you like my beach ball?

Kylie's Strawberry Shortcake Party

Kylie had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party with her friends while we were visiting in Columbia. She had a great time. We appreciate everyone who came to help her celebrate! Kylie models her Strawberry Shortcake bathing suit for the occasion.

The kids had fun swimming in three different pools and playing with the ball sprinker.

Kylie loved the sprinkler!
