Summer Fun in the Sun!

O Finally its pool time or should I say warm enough for it! Kaylee has always loved her pool and this year is no different! These shots were taken when we could keep a swim suit on her.......most of the time she strips butt naked and jumps in! lol She loves for the dogs to get in with her too and says "get in Max/Emit now". (we try to keep them out but they both love water and it use to be their pool) Kaylee does not like splash pads or sprinklers AT ALL and really never has. Today for fathers day we went to the YMCA on a free pass and had a great time swimming! She is a bit daring for mommy sometimes as she wants us to let her go so "she can swim" but she doesn't know how too! hahaha She loves to jump in to us and to climb in on the side all by herself.....lil miss independent. The outside was a bit chilly for mommy and daddy so we went inside to the heated pool and had a blast too! She was able to have more freedom to explore how the water works too and learned a few times that you can't really run in the water! But she did great though and caught on pretty quick to close her mouth as she was going under.

I think our next move will be swimming lessons maybe or maybe we'll wait another year....not sure yet!

My first Fishing trip

A couple weeks ago we took Kaylee fishing, it was so cute! She'd been asking to go since she hears Daddy and I talk about it so we got her a cute lil fishing pole and off we went! She actually loved it, of course she was ready to run around after about 15min or so but we thought she did very good for being 21/2. She liked watching her bobber go under but didn't catch anything this time! Her favorite was the minnows and night crawlers. She said they were soooo cute and cuddly and carried one of each around for about an hour! hahaha She was even so sweet to let some of the minnows go..........hahaha It was such a fun experience for all of us, I can't wait to go again!

AWWWW cute lil minnow!

New Pics!

Just some thoughts!

AWWWWW the joys of being a mommy......its amazing! Kaylee is blossoming into a wonderful, smart, vibrant little girl! She talks to us like she is 16 already, is trying the potty training thing again(at her will) and just being sweet and rotten!
Its so hard to believe that our lil girl will be 3 in just a few months, I just believe how amazing parenthood has been and just how fast its going. Why can't our babies stay babies for a couple years at each age! Its wonderful watching her grow but bittersweet to know we can't ever get these times back!

Jason's job has now moved to town so he is only 5min away, comes home for lunch and is home by 3:45 now............its SOOOOOO wonderful! And the best part is he is safer now....ugh the east side of Indy is NUTS!

Kaylee is going potty here and there! Some days she just does what she needs to and others she decides she doesn't want to! Can we say HARDHEADED! lol I'm down stressing over it, I want her to enjoy being a big girl at the potty not make it a choir or something stressful for her! :)
She says some of the most amazing things and we have to start writing them down so we can remember all of it and tell her later! Really there is so much to say about Kaylee but it would take a very long time to type it all out!

As for me, just loving being a mommy and wife! I'm off right now for the summer but come August I'll have Kaylee, Devyn and Caleb(devyns baby brother)! I'm very excited but whew nervous too! LOL I know once I get into the grove of three lil ones it will be just fine though! I've come to terms with my great grandmas passing it was just a shock at first, I know she is with the lord and loved ones and happy!

I will post some pics of Kaylee soon, we love our new camera and can't stop taking pics! The 25th we leave for Florida and I know we will have hundreds of pic then! LOL Kaylee's first time in Florida and I know its going to be a blast! But how will the drive be..............stay tuned and I'll let ya know! hahahaha

WIth Love to a Great Grandma and Great Great Grandma

Sunday May 31, my great grandma and Kaylee's great great grandma passes away. My wonderful vibrant grandma was 94yrs young and let me tell you full of life until the very day she was called to leave us! I was so blessed to have my grandma for 29yrs of my life. The memories I have are such wonderful ones and will last the rest of my time here!
I thank god that she was able to meet her great great granddaughters.....Kaylee and my niece Kegan! Kaylee loved her grandma wiggins(as she called her)and every time we'd get close to grandma's she'd ask "we go to grandma's and get candy"! That comment from her will always remind me of my childhood with my grandma as grandma ALWAYS had candy! My grandma always made it clear how she was blessed and loved all of her family but the truth is we were even more blessed to have her and her love in our lifes! She was the rock of our family but now she will be our angel!
Its so hard to think I will never hear her sweet voice or see that wonderful smile of hers! I will never see that lil old lady driving her lil car around like she was in her 20's! hahaha She honestly gave me so much joy just to think of her. I loved her so very much!

We love you grandma and your will be very missed!
