Easter at Grandma and Grandpa's

Little girls love to play Dress Up. Isn't she a hoot?



Here Kyla is "playing cards" with Gigi. In other words she plays with the cards and Gigi watches. She won't let you actually touch the cards. "No, Gigi. I do it."


Colton catches a few Z's in his favorite spot. I'm sure Grandpa doesn't mind one bit.


Kyla and the bunny cake. It was cute I almost hated to eat it. Okay, that emotion was short lived, it was a good cake!

Mommy had to do a trial run with the sponge curlers before Easter. Kyla did a great job of holding still, which is not easy for a 2 year old. She had the very important job of handing Mommy a curler when she needed one!



The Before. "Cheese!!"


The After. Isn't it adorable? We are so going to do this for Easter!


Okay. Kyla had a very busy day. First she found the Vick's Vapor Rub on the stairs (Mommy hadn't put it away yet - bad Mommy, bad). So Kyla says to herself, "Hey! This looks like that lotion stuff for my chapped cheeks. I had better put some on... oh, much better... I better put some on my lips too... and over here... oh and a great big glob here... "

A few hours later, she decided that some nail polish remover looked like juice and drank it (again Mommy hadn't put it away yet - bad Mommy, very bad). Thankfully there wasn't much left in the bottle. Poison Control assured me that unless she was continuously vomitting she would be okay. Whew! Then, as if that wasn't enough, Kyla found some nail polish at Grandma's house and decided to paint her nails. And her fingers. And her lips (Grandma hadn't put it away yet - bad Grandma, bad. At least I come by it naturally). Anyway... I figured since Kyla had already drank some nail polish remover earlier that day, a little more on her lips to remove the polish would be just fine. What a day!! I am now oh so much more vigilant of things lying around. Lesson learned.

Colton's Baptism!!

February 18, 2007


Colton did such a great job! He just smiled at everyone... he was having a great time! Kyla was eager to see what was going on so I held her up so she could see.

The Godparents

We are very blessed to have my "little" brother Kris and his wife Justina as Colton's Godparents.

The happy family:

The Gown


Okay. This is a gown - not a dress. It is a baptismal gown with significant family meaning. This gown was made by my Grandmother on my mother's side (Colton's great-grandmother). It was made from the parachute lining of my Grandfather's cousin's parachute from WWII. It has been worn by my uncle, my mother, my cousins and their children, my brother's son - William, Kyla, and now Colton. Pretty cool, huh?


"Thank you everyone for attending my baptism and for all the wonderful gifts. I am a very blessed little boy to have such a wonderful family!"

Here is Colton with two of his cousins Noah and Caden. Aren't they a handsome bunch?


Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day Kyla and I made heart shaped cookies for all of her friends at daycare. Her favorite part was decorating the cookies. She had frosting and sprinkles all over the place. Why didn't I get any pictures of that?

Hello!

Colton is getting so big. He's really starting to chatter. I just love his little squeals (except at 2:00 in the morning). He's such a mello baby. He really only fusses when he's hungry or bored.

It's Potty Time!

That's right! Kyla has begun potty training! She couldn't wait to sit on her very own potty. As soon as Brady had it put together she grabbed one of her books, pulled down her pants (diaper still on) and sat on her potty. If only the rest of training was that easy...

Helping Mommy

Kyla and I decided to make cookies for Daddy's birthday. Here Kyla is helping Mommy clean off the beater. Say, "Cheese!"
