Outdoorsy Girl

Kyah LOVES to be OUTSIDE. If you say the word 'outside' you had better be prepared to take her or hear her cry. She loves to put EVERYTHING in her mouth and I have to watch her non-stop (the other day she had a mushroom). As you can tell, Gabe likes to mess with her and tries to herd her so we have to watch carefully! She calls all of the border collies 'Gabe.' It is so cute!

Night-Night

Just so you know the pictures and the title have nothing to do with one another!! Just some recent pics!

I thought this was so cute, so I wanted to share: It was getting late, so I asked Kyah if she was ready to go night-night....she said 'night, night' and then starting walking away towards our bedroom (yes, she sleeps in her own bed in our room-please no firing squads) and I thought...'she is not going to her bed'....but, my beautiful and very smart little 1 year old (just turned 1 mind you) went straight to her crib, so I could put her in there...now if she is not very, very intelligent then I don't know who is...

I know I'm bragging, but what kind of mom would I be if I didn't brag sometimes! By the way, my very smart little girl can say all kinds of words....such as: church, please (maybe not the whole word, but I understand), purple, pink, tractor, car, chair, shirt, nana (aka banana), eyes, mouth, and can repeat most small words pretty well! Tonight at church I pointed to a Banana in one of her books and she said 'nana' over and over (she loves those things)! Seriously, I'm finished now! Have a great day!!

1st Birthday

We cannot believe that we just celebrated her first birthday. We had a great time, and a great turn out (around 50 people)! What a party!!! Kyah had a great time....food, BLUE cake (which was ALL over her and everyone else who ate it), presents-lots of presents, and swim time. Seriously, we had a very good time and we appreciate all the people who came and for the gifts. Thanks!

Kyah and her grandpa Foster

Sorry Aunt Deanna...I just had to

As you can tell different outfit...she had to take a bath it was so bad

She went to town on those presents...she would hand me the stuff out of them

(this is all mine)

She was so excited she even set in her car seat (she is not a big fan of sitting in her car seat in the car)

Sweet Timmy

Sweet little Timmy came to stay with us for a couple of weeks while his owner took care of a few things. Kyah was instantly taken by him, and by the end of his stay they became good friends. Mark and I both enjoyed our time with Timmy. It was a little bitter sweet when he had to go home, but Betty we are so glad that you are doing better! Please tell Timmy hi for us!
