Preparing for Halloween

Last weekend Brian, Kylie and I headed to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins. We were so excited to take some classic pictures with Kylie surrounded with pumpkins. This year Kylie wanted to run around, move pumpkins from one pile to another not interested in picture taking. Here are a few we got as well as a sneak peek of what she will be for Halloween. On Friday is her Halloween parade at school!

Off She Goes

Kylie has had a tricycle for at least 6 months and she insists that we push her on it. The other day I was watering the flowers and turned around and she was pedaling away. She now can ride a few minutes before getting tired and resorting on us pushing her. She really enjoys her new freedom!

Working 9-5

After picking up Kylie from school today, I was cooking dinner and turned around to find her being like her Mama. I am not sure if she was selling Oasis or Allure or perhaps a Europe itinerary but she kept clicking at the keyboard and laughing on my work phone. Regardless if she got the sale or not she sure made me smile.


After all Kylie's hard work it was bath time, which means we go try to use the potty before bath time. Tonight she decided her baby needed to go!

Two Year Checkup

Last Saturday Kylie had her two year checkup. We went in with one happy girl and came out with bronchitis and two shots. Little did we know that she had bronchitis, luckily they caught it early.

Kylie weighed in at 23 pounds 3 ounces (10th percentile for her age) and 33 inches tall (25th percentile for her age). The doctor said despite her bronchitis she was doing FANTASTIC!

On Sunday the bronchitis got worse and we were left with one unhappy girl with a fever. We remembered we had a box in our garage for Kylie that was a birthday gift we hadn't opened yet. The senders Uncle Paul and Aunt Judy told us it was an outdoor gift so we waited until the right moment. This was it...


Here is Kylie's reaction to her new bubble machine. It was like pure happy medicine. Needless to say in the last week we have made millions of bubbles! Also happy to report that we are 90% better and moving forward!

Fundraising Kylie

In preparation for the holidays, Kylie's school is holding a fundraiser for 40% of the proceeds to go to her school for updated computers, library materials and art supplies.

After all my years of going door to door for Girl Scout Cookies I am not going down that route. There is some cute wrapping paper etc..

If you would like to look at the opportunities great no pressure. If not no worries either...

Thanks!!

Our Big Two Year Old

Kylie turned 2 on Saturday! There is no way to repeat the amazing Panda Birthday we had for her first birthday but we thought we would give Disney a try. I think everyone had a BLAST! We left on Thursday night so we could be to Disney World the moment the gates opened on Friday to explore the Magic Kingdom. We were joined by Shawn and Zoe, Po Po and Gung and Grandma and Grandpa. A great weekend was had by all!
