Fun with Ferns

Hmmm, I picked two ferns, what to do....

She's an insect! 

She's an alien! 

And she has an endless imagination!

 

Going for a drive!

Lacey loves her car

She loves to be outside. 

And she loves to go for a drive!

 

In the tree

Kylie loves playing in the tree. 

And I love photographing her in the tree, makes a great background!

Bubbles!

Lacey, like all kids loves to play with bubbles

 Sometimes their expressions are the best when you just sit back and wait.  I personally love this picture, expression is priceless!

3 1/2 Months

Miss Katie is 3 1/2 months old already!  Where does time go?  She is a great baby, just the last night she slept all night!  I was so happy.  She couldn't have timed it better, I went to bed waaaay too late.  By her sleeping all night I was able to get all 5 1/2 hours of sleep uninterrrupted! 

She's been sleeping until 4 am each night, waking up to nurse and then going back to sleep until I wake her for daycare at 7am.  If we don't have to go to daycare she will sleep until 8:30 or so. 

Two weeks ago I brought her to the doctor because she had a severe cold.  I had her tested for RSV since she's had it in the past, she tested negative thank goodness.  I was told she just had a cold virus and it had to run its course.  She sounded terrible, no voice, and could hardly cry.  They weighed her and she weighs a whopping 15 pounds!  She's gonna be a big girl!  :)

Easter Egg Hunt 2011

It was just the girls and I this Easter.  Daddy had to work, so I tried to make the day as fun as I could.  The girls did 2 Easter Egg hunts!  One in our backyard, the video follows and the other one following Mass at our Church! 

Pictures of their loot!

Kylie right before they opened the gates for the Church easter egg hunt, she's excited!

Lacey's ready, except she is beyond tired...but she didn't let that minor detail slow her down!

Found one!

Kylie's getting to be a pro at Easter egg hunts, she knew exactly where to go!

The girls had so much fun, they love Easter egg hunts.  So much so that after the backyard egg hunt Kylie took all of her eggs and hid them around the house so they could have another one.  The only problem was that Lacey didn't understand that the eggs she was finding in the house belonged to Kylie and that she had to give them back.  This resulted in a 'slight' dispute!  :-)

 

Happy EASTER!

Happy Easter from my family to yours!

Today we dyed easter eggs

Yay Lacey did a great job!

 Kylie's very proud of hers too!

All of their Easter goodies!

Kylie's favorite part of her Easter basket, the CHOCOLATE BUNNY!!!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable day, we sure did!

Always my baby

Today Kylie was playing outside

I decided to take out the camera

to see what kind of pictures I could get

I think they turned out rather well.  :)

3 Months!

This little perfect baby is 3 Months old!

Why do they have to grow so fast?!

She is so fun to watch and talk to, she tries so hard to talk back. Ususally you get a huge smile from her when you talk and just last week she started trying to laugh! It's the best!

Kylie sings!

Kylie loves to sing. Last year Nana and Papa gave her a karaoke machine for Christmas. She loves to get the microphone out and sing and dance her heart out. It is so much fun to watch. Enjoy!

She was in a halloween mood, here she is singing to Ghostbusters!



And Monster Mash!

Healthworks!

The girls and I went to a local kids museum on the first day of spring break. It's very a fun place, it's all about your health, and has lots of interactive exhibits. The girls had a great time, we spent almost 3 hours and I'm pretty sure they tried to do everything in the museum! Kylie had been there before when she was in preschool so she had an idea of what to expect.

This eye ball really freaked Lacey out, she would only look at it from afar. Kylie tried to encourage her to look at it by going up to it but Lacey was not convinced.

They had a plastic chair that was filled with lot of used cigarette butts, it was really gross at the smoking and lung exhibit.

Kylie's reason not to smoke....

Dr. Norton hard at work performing a surgery. Look at the concentration, even her tongue is sticking out!

Dr. Norton successfully removed her patients heart!

Her assistant Lacey removed the patients leg bone.

The girls playing shadow soccer. Your shadow is what makes the balls move, much harder than it looks!

Lacey's attempt at keeping up with the lights on the floor. Pretty difficult when you are just under 3 feet tall!

Kylie had lots of fun climbing the 'skin' wall.

At the supermarket, then Lacey went to the garden 'pick' her vegetables.

This picture speaks for itself :-)

Scientist Kylie discovering a new molecular structure.

Puzzles!

At the dentist!

Balance!

Lacey's turn!

And finally they ended their day by coloring a picture. Funny enough they both picked the same picture to color without even knowing it!

All in all it was a great day at the museum! What I love about this place is it isn't huge so when you take more than one kid they have a little freedom to roam without Mom hovering over them. Kylie loved that she was able to have that little bit of freedom, made her feel independent.
