~Last Week~

My friend Stacey in visiting from Virgina we enjoyed a night out!
We decided to give the river another try and it turned out to be a great weekend. The weather could have been better but Kaylee was SO good.
Kaylee's little set up...her traveling swing is a life saver!!!

~Buddies~

Kaylee and Harley have now become buddies... she stares and smiles at him all the time. At first Jeremy and I here very nervous about how he would do with the baby but he has been great. We are still very careful but he obviously loves the new addition to the family.

~Pool Time~

Kaylee's 1st time completely in the pool (not just her feet)... she loved it!
I love this little face! (4 1/2 months old)
We had a great family afternoon yesterday. Jeremy and I took Kaylee to the pool in hopes of cooling her off with this crazy hot weather we have been having!! I am learning that heat really bothers her. When she is too hot she gets very fussy. I hope that she grows out of this because we love warm weather!! Kaylee found her feet this week. She is also digging her heels in the ground and scooting every where. I can't just leave her on the bed anymore that is for sure.

~Happy Girl~

Kaylee must think Mommy is really funny!! I love these pictures!

~Cousins~

Kaylee & Hanna


I love these girls!!! I am so glad we live so close to Kaylee's cousins.

Mother's Day

~My Parents~

~The Moms~

~My big girl!~

~Grammy and Kaylee (gotta love that face???)~

This year was much different for Mother's Day with my family. Usually I go to my moms house and spend the day with her and make dinner for the whole family (at least 10 people)... But because I can now celebrate being a mom we did a brunch with both sides of the family at my sister and brother in laws house. It was a great day!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Hailee!

Our niece Hailee just turned 3 on May 6th. We had a great family birthday party. It was fun to watch her be really excited about her birthday this year. Hailee is very loved!!!!

~4 Months Old~

Our little angel is now 4 months old... I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. She is growing and developing great. She is now weighing 13 pounds 1 ounce and is 25 inches long. She is rolling from her tummy to back and lifting her head great during tummy time. She is grabbing at objects and loves lights. Her hair is continuing to fall out and is even more crazy :) I can now get her to laugh hysterically at me it is so funny! We are so lucky to have her!!! We love you Kaylee girl!

Motherhood

I was sent this in an e-mail from my sister in law and it could not be more true...

Before I was a Mom:

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on..

Pooped on.

Chewed on.

Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom:

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom:

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom:

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom:

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Camping

~ Our little camper happy in the wagon~
~ We love her~
~Jr and Jeremy hanging out at our camp site~
~Hudson could not get enough of the dirt!!! His mommy "loved" it :) ~
~Pooped~
~ All bundled up in my life saver the best portable swing ever!!!~

This past weekend we went camping in San Clemente. It was such a great time. I was a little worried about how Kaylee would do considering she did not do well at the river and it could not have turned out any better. Kaylee did great and was very happy. Luckily we shared a campsite with the Reynolds who have a 1 year old (Hudson) so they were very understanding when Kaylee woke up at 4am. The weekend was a lot of fun I can't wait to go again.

~1st Angels Game~

We went to the Angels game last week it was Kaylee's 1st sporting event. We had fun!
