Kylie's Ballet Class

Kylie had her second day of preschool. She had a much better day and she worked really hard on listening to the teacher. She told us all about her day at the dinner table tonight. Kylie painted with apples, sang a song about an apple tree, and did some coloring. She also had her first ballet class. Kylie did great until mom came to watch then she was done. The teacher is amazing and she loved it. Aunt Katie has a picture to come later.

Grady Sits Up

Caden, Kylie, Maddie, Uncle Ryan, Jace, and Grady
These cousins had a great afternoon with a lot of laughs. Maddie and Kylie put on a concert that was just too fun to watch, but they had to tell us to "shhhhhhhhhhh."
Grady was sitting up when I came to get him at Nany's house tonight. He is such a big boy and not even 6 month old yet. His cousin Jace thinks he is pretty cool. Thanks for all the help Jace.

First Day of Preschool

Kylie on her very first day of school. She is getting so big.

Kylie had her first day of preschool in the 3 year old class at the Apple Country Preschool. Ryan dropped her off and she was very excited. She loved her new school and talked about her play dough happy face. Kylie loved her school so much that when I came to get her on my lunch break, I had a sad sad girl. I guess that I should be happy that she wants to learn and be at school.

Summer Time, Busy Time

We enjoyed an afternoon at the Moses Lake fair. Ryan and I tried a deep fried Twinkie with ice cream, YUMMY!
Kylie talked dad into playing all the games. She was fishing for a prize.
Then she won the parrot after she squirted the clowns mouth.
Then it was off to the rides and spinning strawberry with dad.
She rode the crocodile roller coaster, all by herself.
We spent the rest of the weekend at Suncadia, a resort by Cle Elum. This is Kylie taken a break from the swimming pool for some fruit snacks.
The weather was fabulous and it was so fun to have a get away before school.
Ky and Grady hanging out in the shade.
This was right after bath time. They both love splashing in a large tub.
Ry and Ky before they jumped off the back of the boat. The Columbia is freezing even in August.
Kylie helping Andy drive the boat. She scared her momma.
Kylie told us the other day she wants to be a trick rider when she grows up. She was practicing on Sarah last week.
Grady now how is bottom two teeth. That smile makes to laugh every time.
Daddy and Kylie watching the Ellensburg Parade.
This is a really neat act in the Rodeo. He is the "One Arm Bandit." She rides his donkey on the top of the trailer while it is going. He uses a bull whip to get two buffalo onto the top of the trailer. It is amazing.
Grandma, Kylie and Daddy enjoying the morning sun while watching the parade.
We stopped by to say "hi" to Uncle Nick and Uncle Matt. They were security at the beer garden at the rodeo all weekend.
Sunday we went for a quick trip to Pasco to visit two of my cousins that live on the east coast. They were in town for the long weekend. It was a great BBQ with lots of yummy food and good visiting. This is Jared with baby Grady. I love Labor Day weekend! Today was a great day to get caught up with everything including this post. Tomorrow I will be posting a picture of Kylie with her preschool teacher. She has her first day tomorrow. She can't wait. We got to visit and see the preschool today. We were invited to Open House. She was really excited about the reading corner. Both kids are having a great afternoon nap. I think that might be my next thing on my "To Do" list.

Grady's First Tooth

Grady's first tooth appeared on Tuesday, August 16th. Grandma was letting him chew on her hand and felt his first tooth. He didn't really have a hard time with his first tooth. He has had a bib on from being wet for a whole month. He is just an easy baby. He is working away at getting more. My baby is getting so big so fast. He has teeth before he is 5 months old.

Three Year Doctor Appointment

We had Kylie's 3 year doctor visit today. She is...... wait for it..... 37 lbs and 6 oz. (90%) and 38 3/4 inches tall (90%). She is perfect. Everything looks great and she only had to have 1 poke. She didn't even cry. Kylie watched the needle go in and out. Then she turns to me and said "mom that hurt a little." Dr. Penny was impressed that she was able to listen and follow all of the directions. That was a big surpise to me also. We get in the car to go have a special lunch with Grandma and she tell me the three rules that Dr Penny told her. MOM "I need to drink more water. I need to put away my dirty clothes. I need to brush my teeth." Thanks to Dr. Penny we have three rules at our house now. She just makes me laugh. She is getting so big. We got a letter in the mail with her information about school. She is excited about her homework. She was also excited as well about an "Open House" to go to before the first day of school. This three year old stuff is exciting. She has a busy week planned for her last week of summer. We spent the rest of the day shopping in North Bend for school clothes. Then she decided she needed to spend the night at Grandma's house. Tomorrow night is at Aunt Teresa's house with lots of fun planned for Thursday. Then we have cousin Jace's camping birthday. Friday is the fair and rodeo in Moses Lake. Saturday and Sunday is recovering from all this fun she will be having. Then Monday, Mom goes back to work and that means a normal routine, Yeah!

Kylie turns 3!

Kylie had a wonderful rainbow birthday with lots of family and friends. She told us before she went to bed that "it was her bestest day evers." I had some much fun planning her party as usual. I didn't get as many pics and I would have liked, but you know how it goes. The balloons were her favorite, sorry no pic. It was a beautiful day, a little sugar for everyone, wonderful gifts, and then she was happy to play. She is officially 3, YEAH! Happy Birthday Kylie Rose! We love you big sis!
