Yay! June 19th!

So if you think we have fallen off the earth, one word.....iphone 3GS. Today is the day it is released to the consumer. I have been working rather long stressful hours and have had quite a ride for the past couple weeks. The iphone is awesome and is quite the front-runner. I am amazed by technology these days....I really am. Meanwhile Eric & I have celebrate our 3rd Anniversary, of course we celebrated with out signature Take-Out, but more importantly our marriage just keeps on getting better and better. He has been so supportive and Mr. Mom, as I am a part of a big tech launch of the year. It is great to have a supportive partner! :) We knew the month of June was going to be a crazy busy time, but will touch base with all of you soon.

South Padre or Bust

Last weekend, we headed down to South Padre Island with the May Fam. I have gone down to S. Padre since I was little and we stayed at the same condo.....oh, the memories. I was rather excited to show Eric AND K the Texas beaches. Although I am was in the mist of the iphone launch, we were able to have some good beach fun. Kaylee loved the huge sandbox, but was afraid of the roaring ocean. We think if we stayed ONE more day, we could have gotten her to like the ocean water. However, she absolutely loved picking seashells! It was nice spending time with the fam, as I always enjoyed the stupid games we play. Not to mention, Kaylee loved the attention. Good Times.....

Old El Paso Wedding

Over Memorial Weekend, we headed to El Paso for Eric's Father's Wedding! It was about time for Glen & Julia to get married after 10 years! We are so happy for them. The flight to El Paso went well up until our decedent. The pilot went to land and due to weather had to go back up. At this point, Kaylee was exhausted and needed to get off the plane. She was "that" crying child for the last 15 minutes of the flight, of course I walked off with asleep child. Oh, the joys. It had been since October since it last rain in EP, it had to be good luck for a wedding. Once we got settled in, we headed off to the Justice of Peace for the wedding. It was lovely and we really enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the judge. Did I mention I made Kaylee the flower-girl, she successfully smashed the little daisies. Afterwards, it was time to par-tay! Glen & Julia had quite the spread of amazing steak and sides and not to mention tequila, cognac, and of course wine! It was great night with good company, not to mention the amazing cool California weather. The next day, we enjoyed the day with them. We headed to New Mexico to see their farm, which we had an amazing lunch with their okra and corn. Nothing beats "Farm to Table". Then at night, we headed to Julia's brother's house for her niece's graduation party. She has a VERY large family and they all so nice and welcoming. Kaylee enjoyed playing with the "big" kids and learning Ring Around the Rosy. The flight back was smooth sailing. It was great weekend and we are so very happy for them!

You can't get this man off the farm!

19 Month Old Kiddo

Our little Kaylee is 19 Months Old today! At her 18-Month Check-up, she was 33.5 inches (95%) and 27 pds (90%). The Doctor estimates to be 5'9 like her Mommy.

Run down on our little girl...

-She is an Ape. She copies anything Mommy & Daddy. From toe nail polish, lotion, make-up, cooking, eating, cleaning....you name she wants to do it if we are. But she is definitely a little girl, when we run errands she has to have her purse with her cell phone. She really enjoys shopping with Mommy.

-She is talking more and more! You can point to most everyday objects and she will say what it is or repeats us after we say it. Examples: bike, chair, shirt, car, etc. She knows all of her body parts and is learning to say more animals....today she said turtle for the first time. She will go into these adorable long jibber jabber stories...we look forward to understanding her soon!

-She is brainwashed. Every time she sees a longhorn or a football, she raises her arms and saids "Ouch Down" (Touchdown). It is hilarious. I did not realize how many items in our life have a longhorn or a football...car decals, shirts, cups!

-She is right on track with Potty Training. She successfully goes "pee-pee" and "poo-poo". She will gives us signs of when she needs to go, but we are still working on her telling us every time. We will move to training pants soon!

-She is lovable. She has really become even more affectionate, by giving hugs and wet kisses. At school, they give handshakes, so don't be surprise if she wants to shake hands.

-She is putting together the "Ifs and Thens". She spilled some yogurt on the floor yesterday, went to go get a paper towel, wiped it up, threw away the paper towel, then sat back down at the table to finish the yogurt. I was like...what just happened here?!? I didn't say anything! I owe that to our amazing school, who really focus on responsibility and ownership. I love it!

Kaylee finally has enough hair for Pig-Tails & Pony-Tails!

And as you can see, she loves her sunglasses!

This is Kaylee's Signature look, mischievous eyes to the side. Mommy was notorious for this as well as a toddler. This was K when we went out to Sushi...she was not a fan of the Spicy Tuna. She will learn!
