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 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!

August Trip to SC

We have had a great time in Columbia so far. We are so happy to see everyone! Kylie has been having a good time getting spoiled by the grandparents! GiGi and Ted gave Kylie a tricycle.

She wanted Mickey to ride in the back.

MiMi has been enjoying some quality time with both grandbabies!

This is cousin Taylor. She has grown so much! Taylor loves to watch Kylie play!

Happy 2nd Birthday Kylie!

Kylie turned 2 on August 16th! At the last minute we made plans to be in Columbia for her birthday. We had a small party for her on her actual birthday and we will be having a Strawberry Shortcake party for her later this month with some of Kylie's friends. She had a great day!Smile birthday girl!

Yum! Cookie cake!

Kylie is wasting no time eating the cake.

The cake was so good!

We are so glad you came to see us GiGi, Syb, Taylor and Todd!

Cincinnati Reds Game

We took Kylie to the Great American Ball Park to see the Cincinnati Reds play. She did great and sat through 7 innings of the game! It of course helped that GiGi, Syb, Todd and Taylor were in town to visit and we all took turns entertaining her. We all had a great time!Us in front of the ball park.

Ready for the party!

Kylie is ready for her party! In the video she says she's having a "Strawberry party" meaning Strawberry Shortcake and she says how old she is. She's very excited about her birthday.

Two Year Photo Session

We had Kylie's pictures taken this weekend. She did great even with the picture place being very behind and us having to wait 3 hours from start to finish to get these photos! I can't believe she's almost 2! She's growing so fast!

It's Hot!

It has been pretty hot here lately. Kylie and I have enjoyed going to the pool a lot during the week and Daddy comes with us on the weekends. She has been doing really well moving around in the water. She loves to splash, kick and play with her toys! Kylie is taking time out from pool fun for a snack.

Kylie loves to play with watering cans in the pool.

This is Kylie's friend Hannah. Hannah is 2 and a half.
