Father's Day Part Two

For Father's Day, Kylie saved up all her money from doing chores around the house and bought Brian a seat for his bike so Kylie could join him for a bike ride. Of course she also picked out a purple butterfly helmet to go along as safety comes first. Even though it is blazing hot here right not we look forward to our family bike rides.

Brian's big wish for father's day was to enjoy authentic Chinese food (I was technically the only Caucasian there) and so we did. Kylie LOVED it, why wouldn't she??

Happy Father's Day

On this day we are very grateful for our Dads, Grandpas and Father like figures in our lives. Although we know that the Moms are the hardest working ones (sorry I am a little biased). We know that our Dads teach us many important lessons and values in our lives. Whether it be my Dad that taught me before I was potty trained how to calculate a tip, a percent off, or how many mpg we were getting on a tank of gas. Not to forget the mad Excel skills he taught me. Whereas Brian's dad taught him many important lessons, such as his ABCs and not ABCDEFG but ABC = Attitude, Belief and Commitment. Or another lesson on if you Believe You Will Achieve.

Kylie has learned a lot from her Dad, whether it be how chips can go with any meal you are eating, how to say Cheese and have a Chinese smile and eyes or simple somersaults to the lesson of when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. He also keeps telling her that shopping is a bad hobby (please!)

With that being said we give Thanks to our Dads, Grandpas and Godfathers today for being such a positive influence in our lives.

If shopping is a bad habit, wear your helmet and it is safer

A Room Fit for a Princess

Today we finally decorated Kylie's room. It took us forever to pick out exactly what we thought she would want. Her favorite things are ducks, birds, food and butterflies. Didn't give us many options for decorating her room. We found a place online Dezign with a Z where you could order wall decals and customize them. We found this tree and knew this would be the center for her room. It took us awhile to put this all together but she was thrilled when she came in her room to check it out. We captured some of it on video, she is saying butterfly butterfly. Brought a tear to my eye and maybe Brian's too. Hopefully she is sleeping right now and not trying to be a butterfly.

Summer Is Here

We don't know about where your at but Summer is here in full force. 90-95 degrees each day and it feels like you walked into your oven. Very very warm!

There has been a lag in the blogging lately but hey I have been on the road for almost two weeks straight. Brian has done any amazing job on his own taking care of Kylie and I am extremely grateful ! They both seem very happy but both happy I am home.

Today, Kylie's school was closed for a teacher work day. So Brian took Kylie this morning to A Latte Fun (indoor playground) and this afternoon once I was back in town we took Kylie to Splash Adventure (water playground).

Here is a video of her organizing her toys (she makes me so proud)

Water Playground - Kylie had a blast and went on all of the slides over and over and over.. Even the enclosed ones.



Here are some other random favorites from the last two weeks.

What a Weekend

We had quite the busy weekend! Swimming, park, birthday parties, cooking, playing oh my! We all had such a blast!

We are thrilled to have a pool, including a kiddie pool and a playground as part of our neighborhood. We thought we would test it out. Kylie gives it two thumbs up!


We attended Isabella's 4th Birthday Party. Watch Videos one and Two and see how well Kylie mastered the bounce house slides. Check out the picture at the bottom to see what she upgraded to.. The baby one got boring!

Will Work for Food

This weekend we started to give Kylie some chores. As you will see she really is into them. We had an amazing weekend. Don't you wish (thanks Yvette for the thought) that the weekend had a pause button??

Kylie feeding the ducks in our front yard, they like Lays Potato Chips. After they finished eating, Kylie took them for a jog around our yard. She was chasing them they were running.

After feeding the ducks it was time to feed the ishh (fish in Kylie language) and then off to feed Mac. She believes that
feeding him a few morsels at a time helps in digestion.

Dancing Around

Kylie came home from school today ready to go and laughing away. Here she is watching her favorite TV program, Little Einsteins. (Yes you might get a crick in your neck)

We also bought new flip flops for the summer. She really likes them but can't figure out which toe goes where!
