Party Time

Kaitlin has been a lucky girl with 2 birthday parties the past 2 weekends. They were both at a local inflatable place  Jump zone and Kaitlin had so much fun. This is the way to have a party with a toddler. Take the kids somewhere else!

This was Kaitlin’s favorite area the “Finding Nemo” inflatable. She would just stay in there and jump her little heart out! Thankfully Kory went with me to help control Kaitlin and I got to visit with friends.

Kaitlin also liked the Sesame Street area. It was for toddlers so everything was a little smaller. It was the perfect size for an almost 2 year old.

Kaitlin also LOVED the parties because of all the yummy goodies. She could get use to this birthday party thing! I am afraid we will be in Jump zone withdrawal this weekend with NO party.

Waiting for the yummy cake!

Kaitlin was very interested in the balloons and she has played with her balloon nonstop since Saturday!

Not so sure about the cake but LOVED the icing!

She finally got the hang of the cake and it was gone

Happy Birthday to two sweet girls. Kaitlin had a blast celebrating with you guys! Kaitlin turns 2 in 2 months! I am having so much fun planning her party. Actually I am almost done planning it! I still can’t believe she is almost two!

Just Classic

Kaitlin has been doing some oddly funny things lately.  I can’t really explain it but I guess that’s what happens as your child approaches 2 years old.

Evidently Care Bear and Ducky have a crush on each other.  Move over Millionaire Match Maker!

Riding her Zebra, she decided it would be more adventurous to blindfold him with her blanket …

Kaitlin has been staying up a little later at night with us lately.  When she gets tired she makes herself comfortable on the hardwood floor with her panda pal pillow & a Tennessee snuggie!

Snow Girl

Kaitlin was so excited about ALL the snow we got today!

Kaitlin loves dancing with her Mickey Mouse! It was hours of endless fun!

Mickey is the perfect snow toy!

Kaitlin LOVED watching the snow

It is hard work getting ready to play in the snow!! The favorite part of the day for Kaitlin was her new cute boots. She makes me so proud. She HUGGED them and was quite upset outside because the snow kept covering up her new boots!

It is tough walking in snow but we had fun together!

Doesn’t she look like she having a blast!

Her little gloves made a heart in the snow! We took longer to get ready than actual in the snow time.

When Kaitlin woke up she had whelps all over her little legs and arms. With all the snow our Dr’s office closed but thankfully we found a place open to see Kaitlin. She apparently had an allergic reaction to “ something” so she was given 3 prescriptions. We are praying for a quick recovery!

Kory kept her occupied with Mickey Mouse on his phone and she was such a trooper!

Snow Day 2  coming up tomorrow!

Scottie Dog Fun

Kaitlin and her Daddy before church. What a cute pair!

She kept barking like her Scottie dogs. It was so funny!

 

Our playgroup went to the Fire Department for a fieldtrip last week. Kaitlin always says GOGO  when she sees a fire truck so I thought she would enjoy herself.

She was amazed at the antique fire engine and wanted to play on it.

She was upset she could not play on the hundred year old truck!

Once she got back in the car she was happy again!

Blue Eyed Girl

I finally found a good outfit that matched Kaitlin’s aqua blue eyes!  Well, more like Kiki found it … but it looks great on her!

I just can’t believe my little girl is getting so big!  She  looks much older than 21 months at this point.  I just don’t know where the time has gone.

This is one of my favorites … she just looks like she’s up to something.  I’m not quite sure what she’s plotting, but I know I’m going to pay for it later …

I love my smiley little girl!

Snow Days

We have been snowed in since Sunday night. The amount of snow was minimal but the roads yesterday were icy and I do not drive in any white precipitation.  Kaitlin was amazed at the snow coming down but had no interest in playing in the cold.

We had a great day Monday but by Tuesday we both had cabin fever. So Kaitlin invented a new game. She would hide items in the basket and then was climbing in the basket to find them. It occupied hours of our day!

It is 3 degrees outside right now so we are putting on our warmest clothes.  Spring can not get here fast enough!

 

The roads look GREAT this morning so don’t worry we are getting out of the house! Can’t you tell how excited we are!

Fun with Gigi

Kaitlin and Gigi made cookies while Kory and I went to the Music City Bowl. I wanted to document Kaitlin’s first cooking adventure. Gigi is an amazing cook so I hope she shared some secrets with Kaitlin!

How cute are their matching aprons!!!

Kaitlin had so much fun with Gigi!

Waiting for the cookies is the hardest part

The best part of the story is that later in the day  the Kaitlin forced Gigi in the tent to play and then ran away. She managed to get the cookies off the counter and had a snack with Gigi in the tent! If only we had a hidden camera to see that moment over again! Looking forward to much more cooking with Gigi!

Go VOLS!!!

Tennessee is in OUR town today playing Arkansas in Basketball!

Kaitlin knows she is wearing the wrong color today so she needs to watch her back!

We are proud of our team and we will be that family sticking out and wearing our orange and white proudly!

Go Vols! You never know which team is going to show up so it is always interesting. UT plays here next year in football too! Go ahead and start planning now. Hopefully we have a full house of Tennessee faithful!

Update:  The Vols didn’t show up this afternoon but we still love them anyway!
