Chris's Birthday - Take 2!

On Saturday (my brother's actual birthday) my Dad made dinner and we celebrated with the family. It was fun and Katy couldn't wait for the cake!!

The tradition lives on...

Happy Birthday Uncle Chris!

Every year for a very long time I've made a trip up to the firehouse to celebrate my brother's birthday...and now this traditon is even more special now that I've got Katy! We had lunch with the guys and had a great time!!

Lunchtime - Katy's favorite time!


My little cupcake face!

She loves her Papa!

and don't forget Uncle Shad!

We love the park!

Last Friday we went to Blendon Woods to go swinging. Her one request was that we bring Grandma...so we picked her up and away we went.

She enjoys swinging her "ni-night" in one swing and the flowers she picked and put in the other swing - so thoughtful!

This was a great little playground specifically designed for 2-5 year olds - just her size!!

Afternoon snack...

Usually on the weekdays once I get Katy home from the sitters, its snacktime. It started out with pretzels and peanut butter - Katy's latest favorite! Although this day she had a new twist to her snack - she wanted to dip a Twizzler too. So out of curiosity to see if she'd go through with it - I gave in and it was pretty funny and of coarse - she LOVED it! Plus I love to hear her say the word "Twizzler".

New Shoes

Mommy needed a new pair of work out shoes so the family went to Mommy's favorite place - DSW! Katy had just as much fun as I did trying on shoes and opening boxes.

You may have already guessed her expression is one telling me again - "No pictures, Mommy!"

Let's Play!

Todd has a dart board in the garage and he and the boys played all weekend. Katy was disappointed that she couldn't play with them since she could get hurt. Daddy decided he would cheer her up and went out bought her one of her own (with soft points) and of coarse - she was THRILLED! Daddy's little girl:)

Family Reunion 09

Todd's sister Tiffany and his nephew Rowen came in from Colorado for their annual visit. We had an awesome time and Katy had a great time playing with her cousin. He was so sweet to her and they got along like they'd never been apart! Here are a few pics...

Katy's favorite - playing cars!

This may look like cruel and unusual punishment - but Tabi (our master picker) had the mission to retieve a ginormous booger from Katy's nose. She was a good patient!


Rowen and Katy were very disappointed that the pool water was only about 70 degrees and to cold to swim.

Summertime officially begins - NOW!

Our pool is up and Todd and Katy got their first swim time in tonight! She loves the water especially with Daddy!
