What we did this weekend....



 This past weekend was gorgeous here, 80-90 degrees all weekend!  On Saturday Kaylee had a fancy tea party 3rd Birthday party for her friend Ellie.  It was quite the birthday party, and we had wear dresses and Kaylee got to bring EI with.

Here EI is all dressed and ready for the party.  When Kaylee got up in the morning one of the first things she did was get EI dressed.

Here are Adah and her mom, Christine



Three friends!

After the girls played dress up awhile it was time to sit down and have some tea and sandwiches.  At the table the girls also got to wear gloves and hats.  Some threw the hats on the floor, others didn't wear the gloves, but Kaylee wore both for most of lunch time.

Kaylee and Adah

K loved pouring and drinking her lemonade

     

Don't they look like they were caught doing something?





They had a pretty good sized trampoline in there basement, which Kaylee loved!

This little girl loved the kitties, and decided that she would just lie on top of them.  They didn't mind one bit!!



Conner's curly hair after sweating during nap. :)  He needs a hair cut!



We found some writing on Kaylee's closet door.  When I asked her why she wrote on her door, she replied, "I measured my dolls to see how tall they are.  Here is Rusty, here's George, here's rabbit, and here's EI."  How can I be mad at her for that.  She's just doing what we do when we measure her and Conner.  Only I explained that she needs to write it on some paper and not on the walls or doors.



Playing in the sand/water table.  It was 90 degrees on Sunday!









Love, love, love this picture!





Kaylee LOVED pouring her lemonade tea and drinking from the itty bitty teacup.

 



After the party Kaylee posed with me.

Here is the birthday girl!


I have been working on this post since Monday, but it was being really fussy and not cooperating with me.  That's why all the pictures are messed up and not in the right order, but I've had ENOUGH of messing around with it and trying to fix it.  So this is what you get with this post.  I need to learn how to upload a better post!  After the birthday party on Saturday, Kaylee and I ran some errands, played computer games at the library, and went shopping at Target.  It was a really fun girl's day out!!!



Conner 18 months

                                       

May '10 - 8 months                      Sept '10 - 1 year                  March '11 - 18 months

    Hard to believe our little C is 18 months old already!  This age is so much fun!!!  We are constantly amazed at how much he is changing and learning on a daily basis.  He still loves to cuddle, which I love, since Kaylee was not much of a cuddler.  He is our little eater too.  One mention of some type of food and he is chasing down whoever said it or running to the little table and sitting down waiting for some. :)  He is, however, pickier than Kaylee was at this age.  He doesn't like any type of vegtable so much, but will chow down on any type of fruit or carb.  Where Kaylee prefers her noodles without sauce, Conner will not eat them unless they do have a sauce on them.  Some of his milestones are:

     * Can point to his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, tummy, and fingers when asked.
     * Knows the animal sounds for a cow, monkey, horse, sheep, kitty, doggy, and       duck.
     * Is starting to do actions to some of the songs we sing, especially, "This Old Man" and "Peanut Butter and Jelly"
     * Loves to blow kisses
     * Says "thank you" after be given something he wanted.
     * Was a huge daddy's boy, but is turning into a mommy's boy.
     *  Says, daddy, mommy, kk, monkey, thank you, buh (bye), maddie, Sadie, Kenley, muh (more), peace (please), milk
     *  Tries to jump but doesn't quite get both feet off the ground, but so cute to watch.
     *  Loves to do stuff to get us to laugh at him or what he is doing.  And then he will do it over, and over, and over.
     *  Loves to wrestle and knock people down.  The little ones don't like it though! :)

Little C is such a huge joy to our family and we are loving every minute!  We love you Conner with our whole heart!

Valentine's Day

Could they get any cuter!  Love these kids!

Kaylee's heart she made at Sunday School.

Conner not feeling good at all.

Her favorite gift - a light up toothbrush, since "Santa" didn't get her letter about wanting a new toothbrush. :)

Heart shaped cake, decorated with sprinkles by Kaylee, for dessert.

  

   

Her new skirtis a little too big.

She is showing us how when she jumps it just falls down. :)

Kaylee was sick the three days before Valentine's Day and Conner was sick the day of and two days after, and I was sick the day after.  Daycare was closed for two days so we had our daycare Valentine's Day party on the 16th.  We took the picture of the two of the together on Sunday when they were both feeling pretty good, otherwise we wouldn't of gotten one!

SDSU vs. KSU

After Thanksgiving we went to a K-State girls basketball game because they were playing SDSU.  Conner was the only one sporting the purple that night since he is the only Kansas native. :)  Kaylee had fun dancing to the band and watching for Willie.  Conner was a little tired since it was during his bedtime, but he hung on til we got home before he fell asleep.

K-State vs. SDSU

K dancing.

This is where Conner spent most of the game, in Daddy's arms.

Kaylee meeting Willie.

It was a pretty close game but K-State won!

Thanksgiving

Okay, so I realized that I haven't even done a post from Thanksgiving weekend.  So before I do a couple Christmas posts I wanted to post a couple pictures from our weekend in Fulda.  We haven't been home for Thanksgiving for a couple years now so I was very excited to be home.  We also celebrated my mom's 60th birthday that weekend with a cake and everything. :)

Kaylee is very much into fixing hair and had a great time doing Papa's hair, with a little egging on from her uncles.

Posing with her godfathers.

                                      

Waiting for the camera to stop taking pictures on timer mode.  The family was getting a little bored and Travis was blinded because he stood right in front of the flash and didn't think to move out of the way. :)
