Poor Potted Flowers

<>

It only to a minute or so for me to put my shoes on.  So I was shocked to look out the door and find our newly potted plants on the floor.  Turns out Kylee found a snail and was just trying to find more.  Our poor flowers have not fully recovered!

Needless to say we had to do a time out.  Kylee didn't seem to upset about it.

Kylee is 3!!!

Kylee celebrated her 3rd birthday in style.  She was lucky enough to have 3 birthday party's.  For some reason I only have pictures from two.  It's hard keeping up with busy Miss Kylee!!  Happy Birthday we love you to pieces.

Make a wish and we hope it comes true!

Our little  3 year old princess.

3 candles... the years are going by quickly.

Chenoa made Kylee chocolate sunflower cupcakes for her birthday!

Preschool at Home

It occured to me that someone should be teaching these kiddos there name. I can do that! I looked up different lesson plans online. I found lots and lots of great idea's. I decided to start with a picture project. We started with Bennett. We looked at the letter "B" sounded it out and sounded out the letter "B" with pictures from our newspaper. Then we glued the pictures to our "B" paper. They also tried writing the letter "B". It worked wonderfully. A great way for the lesson to end was to go outside and play with "B"ubbles! :)

Tea Time

Back when I was sick and losing my voice for about a week straight I made some tea. It became a wonderful event to share with the kiddos. They were so excited to help make the tea. They helped pour the honey,they put the teabags in the teapot. I did not expect them to really drink this herbal tea that I was drinking only for health. We decided to pour some cool water into their teacup with their tea. This way it wouldn't be to hot for them. They drank it all up! I've even had a request for another tea time.

Kylee's Favorite

Almost everyday Kylee wants to dress up. I let her whear it everywhere we go. People love to see her all dressed up and so does she!!

Mommy and Me Swim Lessons with Kylee and Friends

My friend Nicki and I did swim lesson's with Kylee and Nicki's daughter Tessa. We had a great time hanging with them. It was fun girl time and our daughters have some awesome swim skills. Thankfully Nicki was prepared with her camera on the final day. Here is the link to her blog:

Kylee's Birthday Party

June was so overwhelming with the move and the start of summer. Kylee's playgroup was kind enough to allow us to turn a playgroup day into a birthday party. It was so last minute it was nice to have everyone be up for it. Kylee was so excited to have her party. We chose a water park with a playground for maximum fun!

Potty on the Potty

Kylee and I as usual headed over to the bathroom so she could sit on her potty. We brought books so maybe she would sit for a while. I promised her I would read her Clifford books to her today so we started with those. After we finished the Clifford books Kylee wanted more. She ran to her room to get her Dora books. When she sat down she opened her book. Before we could start reading she looked at me and said "uh oh." Then she looked down to see herself going potty. Kylee looked concerned like this might be bad. Then I screamed with joy, I gave her a high five followed by a hug and a cupcake. I am pretty sure she understands now that I want her to go potty on the potty. We are potty training from here on out.

Kylee and Bennett

My friend Paige watched Kylee while Marc and I went House shopping. Paige is Bennett's mom. Kylee and Bennett are so adorable. I am pretty sure that is them holding hands in the car again! Thanks Paige for being so helpful and blogging about it:) Seeing those to playing puts a smile on my face.

Kylee and the never ending saga of the Paci!

Well after 2 days of Kylee not being able to sleep. I finally gave in and brought the pacifier back out. Now that Kylee is better we have very strict rules about only having the pacifier at nap or nightime. Besides who could deny these important necessaties for sleep: Airplane blanket, Pacifier, Lilly Mae, (the frog/blanky) and Hot Dog (the teddy bear).

Finally, Kylee is feeling better. No more ear infection. She had ear fluid but the doctor gave her decongestant. Now Kylee is having a language explosion. She is saying everything and anything and she smiles all the time. It was so adorable whe she said, "I Love You" to Daddy for the first time!
