Happy 1st Birthday, Kylee!

For Kylee's birthday party this year, we combined Brandon's and my families so I asked each of our mom's to make a pot of spaghetti, so here's Brandon with a plate of 3 different spaghetti's! It all turned out so yummy - thanks, moms!


And Kylee loves spaghetti!

I went with a little bit of a flower theme, so Mindy - my life saver! - was willing to help me with the cake(s) again out of cupcakes! I think they turned out really cute! Thank you so much, Mindy!

Kylee got some fun toys:
Here she is "flying" over this round blow up toy - reminds me of Ariel on the rock - lol!

Of all the fun things,she LOVED these little discs that are like mini frisbees!

And her very own laptop - since she always wants to play with her brother's McQueen one! (I just love her pointer finger! So chubby and cute!)



Kylee didn't know what to think of her cake. Here is Jamon by her side, ready to "help" his sister blow out the candle!


Daddy had to help Kylee get started


Digging In!



Getting messy eating frosting - yummy!


"I did it!" Such a messy girl, but so much fun!

I love to see how she has grown over the past year, but it makes me miss my newborn baby girl! She was born on a beautiful snowy day and it was fitting that it snowed on her first birthday!

Off To See all the Grandma's! (Christmas)

So first we went to Great Grandma & Grandpa Allen's house where Grandma made a beaded necklace for Kylee with her name on it and a stuffed animal. Jamon got a remote control dinosaur! I didn't get very many pictures here.



Then it was off to Grandma Sheryl and Grandpa Dale's house! I didn't take any pictures of us opening presents or of what we got! Jamon got an awesome McQueen race track and Kylee got a super cute outfit and giraffe toy! I did get cute shots of Kylee with her grandparents though!

With Grandma Sheryl, she was blowing her tongue to make silly noises!


Grandpa Dale was tickling her and making her laugh and laugh!


And finally we ended our day at Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Keith's house.

Jamon got a fun race track that two racers go in a figure-eight! Grandma made him a really good looking dinosaur blanket and gave him dinosaur pajamas to go with it! (I love that Grandma is in the background filming too!)


Kylee got an adorable heart blanket Grandma Sandy made and some cute pink money pajamas and a couple of dolls!


We had such a wonderful Christmas! Thanks to everyone! The best "Christmas gift" I got was the week between Christmas and New Year's off work to just be a mom! I had so much fun being home and we played and played and I didn't stress over cleaning the house or anything! It was a perfect time!

Chritmas Continued...

Kylee was seriously more interested in the box I had wrapped a present in, but it was so cute!



Santa always brings our favorite cereal each year! (I am a bit jealous of those of you who have a big yummy breakfast on Christmas, but it's always been a tradition for me growing up and it's great to be able to eat and go to all the visits that day with almost no prep and clean up!)

Our Christmas - A MONTH After!

Well, what can I say, better late than never!? Here is how our Christmas was!
We got to see Jamon perform some Christmas songs at school. He didn't sing much, but better than at Halloween! He is so cute, anyway! Then he got to see Santa and Mrs. Clause after! (Side note: Do you love that camera in my way? It ended up in all my pictures! Lovely!)


Christmas morning was exciting as Santa had stopped by! He left a bunch of toys on our couch and Jamon was so excited to get play doh stuff! He asked for that and walkie talkie's that I didn't get a picture of!

Then Jamon checked out his stocking that was loaded with lots of yummy and fun things!

Santa brought Kylee her first purse! (She really didn't know what to think of it all!)

I had these hooded towels made for the kids and they turned out so cute!


(I will end this post and continue on new post - I am not very good at this!)
