What we have been up to..

Well it has been a very long time since I wrote a post so I thought I would do one about what we have been up to. Since I have been too busy to blog it seems. 
--We have been planting and watering our flowers...Kaylie is a very big help as you can see. We have lots of bunnies under our shed so my rose bushes took a big hit. Zach and I are trying to save them. 

--We have been to the library more, Grandma Boe should be so proud. Kaylie is really starting to like to sit and read books. We now all crawl up into our bed at night and read one or two books. She usually sits pretty still, but some times she likes to run around on the bed. (Which of course gets her into trouble) I am sure we will continue to visit the library more frequently; we have to at least go once more since we owe fines. (I know Mom, I am not use to due dates!)

--We took a trip down to Williamsburg and went shopping at the Outlet Mall. We found some great clothes for Kaylie, but who wouldn't at my favorite store Carter's. Mommy and Daddy didn't find anything for themselves so we made another stop at the Coral Ridge Mall. This was where Kaylie got her first experience with Build-a-Bear. 

-- We had a party for my seniors at work. Kaylie was a hit and of course loved all the extra attention. She was a little helper when it was time to get ready and she was great entertainment for the night. 

--Daddy had the day off one day so we ran some errands and Kaylie got to have her own smoothie. She of course didn't eat it all, but at least she didn't take all of ours either. :)

--We went to Wisconsin for my Aunt's 60th Surprise Birthday party. It was fun to have Kaylie play with all my cousin's kids. She also got to ride in this little John Deere Gator with her cousin. I am sure we will be getting one soon enough. She is quite the daredevil. 

--We have been going on lots of bike rides lately. She sits great in her bike trailer, but we are pretty sure she would rather be on her own bike. Too bad her legs aren't long enough (Daddy says she will be biking before she is 2, we will see!). We took our puppy swimming at Prairie Lakes one day, Kaylie of course wanted to go swimming too. 

--We have a new found love for balls, she loves to play ball whenever she sees one. She now can even say ball even though it sounds more like "baa".

--We got a water table from Walmart for Kaylie and we have gotten it out a much as we can. She is quite the fish and she will play in the water for hours if we let her. It was a great buy and it works nicely on hot days.

--We helped our cousin Luke celebrate his 1st birthday. We went to a park and played; we even went down the slide head first. Of course we thought that was lots of fun! We then enjoyed the great food and cake!

--We have been working very hard to get ready for our first Relay for Life. We have baked and made crafts. We have 15 days left and we are ready to experience our 1st Relay for Life. More about that after the 15th. 

--We have started to help mommy clean...she is a lot of help. :) Kaylie now has her own vacuum so she can help me more and more. 

--We got our new room cleaned out and we have the toys setup. She now will sit and play all by herself. She still loves her Little People, and she has a lot of them!

--We took our first camping trip last weekend and Kaylie did pretty good. We got a little cranky on Sunday, but it was because she was over tired. We decided to leave a day early, but mommy liked that better because I got caught up on some things like dishes and laundry.



We have had a very busy last few months and can't wait for what the summer will bring...should be a good one!
