Christmas 2011

Christmas on Peachtree....the new Festival of Trees......was fun.....TWICE! Our first adventure was with Nelson, Bradley and their mommy Cameron. Next up was Bryson and his fun parents!


No need to decorate the cookie......just eat it!

 


Sweet, cuddly sisters on Christmas Eve snuggling under the princess blanket that cousin Morgan made.

 

Lily was always available to help open anyone's and everyone's presents on Christmas morning! Both girls were so great and wonderfully behaved. No tantrums. Just a lot of "wows" and "sees?!?!" and "thank yous!". We were also lucky enough to get to share the holiday with nana and papa who made the trek one again to spoil our girls.

 

 

Fall Fun 2011

 

 

We sure do love that Aunt Wendy loooooves to spend her birthday with us! And we appreciate that she weathered the apple orchard in shorts and a t-shirt despite the windy 56 degree day. And we adore the undeniable fact of how much she loves these two incredible girls. And we sure do miss her when she's gone. But most importantly, WE love HER very much!

 

 


Boo at the Zoo! (very crowded)

I walk out of the orangutan exhibit to find Johnny pouring sugar into Lily's mouth. Ugh.

 

 

Her first pony ride didn't go very well...

18 Months of Sweetness

Kennedy has passed the 18 month milestone and I can't believe how quickly time has gone. She's grown so much, laughed a ton and been loved immensely.
What she's up to these days:
Weight: 25 pounds
Height: 33 inches
Hair: blonde mullet with some cute curls at the end that I can't bring myself to cut off
You tell her to shake her booty and she does with a giggle.
She has climbed up and stood ON the kitchen table and just laughed and laughed!
Balls are her thing.......tennis, soccer, foot......you name it.

She's in her parrot phase now too......repeating everything you say or ask her to say:
Boof: shoe and juice (don't ask)
No
Baby
Night night
Eat eat
Yucky: when diaper is dirty
BUUUUTT: she and Lily will make each other laugh by saying this over and over again
Melmo: Elmo
No
Eat eat
bankie: blanket
Ellie: her little elephant lovie
BUZZ!: when she wants to watch Toy Story which is all the time
Patta: pizza
Eat eat
No
Diddy: Lily
Peeeeaaaase: please
Eat eat
Come: not sure where she got this from but that's how she says thank you
No

That about covers the vocab right now!

I love how she will peek around your shoulder an give you a big toothy grin followed by a big kiss right on he cheek.
I adore watching her follow her big sister around, or watch them play chase or just sitting and reading together.
I know I've said it before, but I really mean it when I say she is the perfect completion to this family of four. How did I ever get so incredibly lucky?

Back to blogging!

Funny things this week:

-lily has a pair of pants that don't stay around her tiny little waist so I'm constantly asking her to pull them up. We were walking through a parking lot yesterday and all of a sudden she turned to the side, looked at me and said, "look at my cute little butt!"

-Kennedy loves looking around and throwing her arms out and exclaiming, "HUG!"


Time to play catch up

We got a new toy!

Hopefully this will help with the updating but I'm not making any promises.

Here are some pics starting with last spring/summer:

 

This is the shot we'll have to remember to display at the U.S. Open in about 16 years....



Mothers Day at Sope Creek


Not so sure what to think about the octopus. This is about as close as she would get...


Chattahoochee Nature Center


Kinda pooped


And just like any other adventure with me.......there was some excitement.

We got locked out......on the boardwalk......over the river.

All I can say about that is: thank God for smart phones!


Sweet princess

 

Happy birthday, America!

 


Could she be any sweeter?


Thanks for visiting!!!


For Kennedy's birthday weekend Auntie Sa and Uncle Chad came to visit which means a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. I think next time warrants an overnight stay with the fishies!

 

She's ONE!!!

 

Power to the cupcake!!!


Then came August.

We went to the beach with my family.

Lily was in RARE form which made for a sort of stressful "vacation."

Overall it was fun though.......especially the last night, which I will not discuss here.

 

 

 


My favorite sissies!

 

Labor Day weekend.......again.......HOT
