Techno Savy Kylie

Kylie loves to use the computer. Either typing a email to her friends or family or exploring the world wide web. She's good at shopping too!

Look How Much she has grown in one year!! (Taken Feb 1st, 2009)

Super Sunday

Even though it is not Super Bowl Sunday yet, today was a Super Sunday! I decided today to take Kylie to church with me. A 16 month old at a 7:30 am mass by myself?? The whole way to church I kept saying what am I getting myself into?? Ironically Kylie really enjoyed the mass, perhaps cause as Catholics we sing,sit, stand, kneel never time for boredom. She was the best behaved child in the kids room. Never made a sound besides trying to sing along to the songs and clapping at the end of each one of them. She also thought that peace be with you was a good time to give people high fives, the older people (why they sit in the kids room I don't know) really smiled and enjoyed meeting Kylie. The funniest part was during the collection Kylie thought she should keep the money in the basket, luckily she put our envelope in and passed it on. It was up there in top moments with Kylie. Not only for me to spend time with her but to see the reaction of the people at church when meeting her, as the average age is 75. She made a lot of friends!! If we could make one person smile today it was well worth it!

Of course for good behavior we stopped at Starbucks on the way home, one Grande Non-Fat Chai Tea Latte for Mommy! Hey I had to reward myself!!

Kylie has had a busy week, she is mastering the fork and spork, although both can be doubled as a comb for your hair! She is finally standing by herself and she is taking a few steps without us holding on to her. We can only imagine she will be up and running soon (fingers crossed - before we have to see the specialist on Feb 11th)

I am hoping to go and talk Kylie into helping me with the laundry. She is good at folding the clothes!

We hope you also had a SUPER Sunday!

Happy Friday

Hope your getting ready for a nice three day weekend!

Stay Indoors

The Weatherman started off this weekend saying, "Stay indoors if at all possible." Obviously this man has never lived in the north. Well Kylie and I stayed inside and did many activities all why trying to stay warm. The one time we left the house to run to the store I got a lecture from the cashier that she wasn't wearing a hat (it was 45!), don't mind her long sleeve shirt, sweater and jacket.

Hope your staying warm wherever your at!

We visited the aquarium and Kylie was even chosen to clean the tank!
We played Hide and Go Seek...


We attended a food and wine festival!
We Even Made a Snowman (or a few!)

It's beginning to feel a lot like WINTER!

It has been a cold last couple of days and a few more to go where the lows are in the 30s. I have a great appreciation for everyone up north. Here are a few of this weeks funny pictures. Kylie is not too sure about the hooded shirts, quite frankly she doesn't like long sleeves. I am ready to roast some smores anyone want to join??

Kylie Meets the Matriarch

We have been quiet busy ringing in 2010 and having a blast. We had a dance party on New Year's Eve with Kylie, Brian and I. Kylie was laughing hysterically. We had so much fun! We have gone to the park, read the same book over and over and over and over.. Mainly just spending quality time with one another. It has been great and we all are not looking forward to going back to the routine.

Kylie got to meet the Matriarch, her Great Great Aunt Betty (my Grandpa, who know longer is with us, sister). We decided Matriarch sounded nicer to say then oldest living relative! Aunt Betty was a key relative when I was growing up so it was great for her to meet Kylie! Kylie immediately became her lost long friend.

Aunt Betty, Kylie and I

Kylie decided tonight that she had to eat her Cheeseburger like us,
not cut up like a baby!
(Grandpa will be so proud, I think Red Robin soon!) She loved it!

Kylie decided to read a few magazines and then figured it was better to be closer to them. Some critical articles to read..

Bonus Video -Kylie playing with her I-touch that Santa brought her.

Ready to Ring In The New Year

Kylie has been practicing all day to play, Auld Lang Syne, today on her piano! Don't mind that she is already drinking and playing the piano and 1pm. She is gearing up to ring in the New Year!

We wish you all a very Happy New Year, full of peace, prosperity and hapiness! To all our friends and family have a safe night and we will talk to you in the next decade!
