I know I haven't posted much in the past month or so -- the holidays are always too crazy with so much going on! I also realized I usually just post the same thing to both blogs, with maybe a couple different photos or slightly different text. So to make it easier for me, as well as to have just one blog to keep track of for readers (the 2 there are?? :) ), I've combined the blogs and have them at a new address - so please bookmark this for future posts!<br /><br /><a href="http://caesarfam.blogspot.com/">caesarfam.blogspot.com</a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-21118270383179693832011-12-04T10:39:00.001-05:002012-01-09T13:08:25.625-05:00Merry Christmas!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NUqDjgcFB1k/TwstFI1j6NI/AAAAAAAABZU/nCnseOUnWhM/s1600/2011%2BXmas%2Bcard.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NUqDjgcFB1k/TwstFI1j6NI/AAAAAAAABZU/nCnseOUnWhM/s200/2011%2BXmas%2Bcard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695695720034855122" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-38493542380933500022011-11-27T15:11:00.003-05:002011-11-27T15:17:21.089-05:00Thanksgiving FeastKaylee's Thanksgiving Feast at preschool was a week before Thanksgiving. She knew Andy and I would be there, but was surprised that Jamie, Poppy (Dan) & Baba (Barb) came as well. The kids sang a couple songs ("I'm Glad I'm Not a Turkey on Thanksgiving Day" and "Hello, Mr. Turkey") and said a prayer, then we ate and hurried out to let the next round of Feasters gather.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBhdUmEDa3I/TtKaaXsKyLI/AAAAAAAABXc/4flezhNRzjQ/s1600/04.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBhdUmEDa3I/TtKaaXsKyLI/AAAAAAAABXc/4flezhNRzjQ/s200/04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679771857894164658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O85KdwcBYdI/TtKaalU5XLI/AAAAAAAABXk/cuJBjkkv35I/s1600/05.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O85KdwcBYdI/TtKaalU5XLI/AAAAAAAABXk/cuJBjkkv35I/s200/05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679771861554650290" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ccScPWFhqM/TtKaa9fPhuI/AAAAAAAABX0/mp0HaovpU5o/s1600/06.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ccScPWFhqM/TtKaa9fPhuI/AAAAAAAABX0/mp0HaovpU5o/s200/06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679771868040496866" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-90253007092648397212011-11-24T21:12:00.008-05:002011-11-24T21:22:16.815-05:00PhotosHere are some photos we did a couple weeks ago with <a href="http://www.dcrullphotography.blogspot.com/">Denise Crull Photography</a>. Andy was not doling out the big smiles - I think he has another tooth (or two?) coming in on the bottom and he's had a runny nose - and Kaylee was not being too cooperative, either. And of course the day we met for the photos was the worst runny-nose day Andy had!

She picked out who she wanted to be at least 2 months ago and never wavered in her choice. She was Kiki from <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/the-fresh-beat-band">The Fresh Beat Band</a>. She also says she wants to have a FBB birthday party, so we'll see if she changes her mind in the next 4 months.<br /><br />Here's our little Kiki before and after her transformation, and some FBB/Kiki pics:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xpUpSaAVLg/TrYEIjA0adI/AAAAAAAABTA/11gD0DpuzRI/s1600/05.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xpUpSaAVLg/TrYEIjA0adI/AAAAAAAABTA/11gD0DpuzRI/s200/05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671725325603858898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BjuGCTeS8_k/TrYEIxO1MqI/AAAAAAAABTQ/B7p_o4-BFyU/s1600/06.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BjuGCTeS8_k/TrYEIxO1MqI/AAAAAAAABTQ/B7p_o4-BFyU/s200/06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671725329420726946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uyTZm2tv2u4/TrYFCYGsO8I/AAAAAAAABUA/rgvdMV9QERw/s1600/kiki1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uyTZm2tv2u4/TrYFCYGsO8I/AAAAAAAABUA/rgvdMV9QERw/s200/kiki1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671726319108111298" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B_Bplag_6R8/TrYFCcOUMFI/AAAAAAAABUM/o17SufF1ldE/s1600/fresh-beat-band.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B_Bplag_6R8/TrYFCcOUMFI/AAAAAAAABUM/o17SufF1ldE/s200/fresh-beat-band.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671726320213831762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I wasn't sure which costume Andy would wear, so I tried all 3 on him and took photos while Kaylee was at school one day. When I showed her the photos later, I started with the one of the monkey where you can't see Andy's face. She said, "is that a real monkey on our porch?!?" Then I showed her the one showing Andy's face and she thought it was so funny that he looked like a real monkey crawling around. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m4issJ2yeNM/TrX76IwuDmI/AAAAAAAABS0/MLwcbCnYyrk/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m4issJ2yeNM/TrX76IwuDmI/AAAAAAAABS0/MLwcbCnYyrk/s200/00.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671716281945820770" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K0nKkE0GPMY/TrX75V-VsGI/AAAAAAAABSo/BMgu_IzDSHo/s1600/01.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K0nKkE0GPMY/TrX75V-VsGI/AAAAAAAABSo/BMgu_IzDSHo/s200/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671716268312735842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDyiyU689AM/TrX75B61IhI/AAAAAAAABSc/ebuCKlLMvig/s1600/02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BDyiyU689AM/TrX75B61IhI/AAAAAAAABSc/ebuCKlLMvig/s200/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671716262929310226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zHfWntNXq_U/TrX7ZUV3fPI/AAAAAAAABSQ/cNS4zccJd5A/s1600/03.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zHfWntNXq_U/TrX7ZUV3fPI/AAAAAAAABSQ/cNS4zccJd5A/s200/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671715718118735090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wxJ5FJAyyyM/TrX7XSZdcdI/AAAAAAAABRg/0A398dKZsLA/s1600/04.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wxJ5FJAyyyM/TrX7XSZdcdI/AAAAAAAABRg/0A398dKZsLA/s200/04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671715683237196242" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The photo below of Kaylee and Andy with the pumpkins is from earlier in the day and the one of all of us is just before heading out to trick or treat.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5S6-YKXtdPY/TrYEJ-z_KJI/AAAAAAAABTg/xgRw-ElaHqs/s1600/21.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5S6-YKXtdPY/TrYEJ-z_KJI/AAAAAAAABTg/xgRw-ElaHqs/s200/21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671725350246099090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lmv9DduqzXQ/TrX7YWgvUnI/AAAAAAAABSE/nIGUPvIX6bM/s1600/07.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lmv9DduqzXQ/TrX7YWgvUnI/AAAAAAAABSE/nIGUPvIX6bM/s200/07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671715701521338994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mLZkPVmNUh4/TrX7Ye31ZJI/AAAAAAAABR4/UAu9cS0ZuFA/s1600/09.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mLZkPVmNUh4/TrX7Ye31ZJI/AAAAAAAABR4/UAu9cS0ZuFA/s200/09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671715703765689490" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-beXMg2C0VA4/TrX7XjmJ8vI/AAAAAAAABRw/bzpnZszDlQA/s1600/10.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-beXMg2C0VA4/TrX7XjmJ8vI/AAAAAAAABRw/bzpnZszDlQA/s200/10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671715687853847282" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2KzsdhcaCQ/TrYEJkGmLzI/AAAAAAAABTY/qVQbF5LiG4c/s1600/13.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2KzsdhcaCQ/TrYEJkGmLzI/AAAAAAAABTY/qVQbF5LiG4c/s200/13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671725343076396850" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Halloween weekend, we went to our neighborhood fall festival. Kaylee had fun in the huge bouncy there, and also loading up on sugar! She got a cute black cat face painting and a balloon sword (she'd been wanting one for a while after having seen some kids with one a couple months ago). She also thought the spider cookies that someone brought were very funny!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P_GROMGPOIw/TrYEJ1SZxyI/AAAAAAAABTw/0Qv4G8KKT0w/s1600/18.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P_GROMGPOIw/TrYEJ1SZxyI/AAAAAAAABTw/0Qv4G8KKT0w/s200/18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671725347689318178" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D3_7e7cqC-4/TrYGWCB_GjI/AAAAAAAABUk/z7b1ROM4WFw/s1600/20.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D3_7e7cqC-4/TrYGWCB_GjI/AAAAAAAABUk/z7b1ROM4WFw/s200/20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671727756291807794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TUUfnawlk5s/TrYGV35h5PI/AAAAAAAABUY/3oGl124XdeE/s1600/19.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TUUfnawlk5s/TrYGV35h5PI/AAAAAAAABUY/3oGl124XdeE/s200/19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671727753571984626" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-51446720380742087062011-10-18T21:44:00.002-04:002011-10-18T21:48:00.279-04:00Cumming Greek FestWhile Jamie stayed home with Andy, Kaylee and I went with some friends to the local Greek Festival. We didn't stay long - just long enough for the girls to jump in a bouncy house and go down a bouncy slide a few times, plus have dinner. Here's a cute photo of the 3 girls we took!

We took pictures (obviously), tried to feed the catfish, but I guess they were stuffed (we could see some swimming just below the surface, but none came up to eat), tried to feed the goats and cows, but they didn't want the crackers (there were plenty lying on the ground by their feet), though they would munch on an apple we offered and picked out pumpkins!<br /><br />We bought 7 pumpkins and an apple gourd (like the green "pumpkin" on the haystacks behind/above the kids in the first photos) that are currently sitting on our front steps (5 of the pumpkins are the tiny ones, so we didn't really go way overboard).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4fnwstZnuW4/Tp4kEqSsyFI/AAAAAAAABMo/Q7Ry0v_FuZo/s1600/07.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4fnwstZnuW4/Tp4kEqSsyFI/AAAAAAAABMo/Q7Ry0v_FuZo/s200/07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665005043769460818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r_8CEOPrScQ/Tp4kEVSp_rI/AAAAAAAABMY/XYiktDI3jFk/s1600/08.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r_8CEOPrScQ/Tp4kEVSp_rI/AAAAAAAABMY/XYiktDI3jFk/s200/08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665005038132133554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n7-yP0kDKeI/Tp4kFD7KqcI/AAAAAAAABMw/Cgr1B1_TYTo/s1600/06.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n7-yP0kDKeI/Tp4kFD7KqcI/AAAAAAAABMw/Cgr1B1_TYTo/s200/06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665005050650077634" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0fKr4Ezl_ms/Tp4ikmX4_qI/AAAAAAAABMI/BJZRh8dVOyI/s1600/09.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0fKr4Ezl_ms/Tp4ikmX4_qI/AAAAAAAABMI/BJZRh8dVOyI/s200/09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665003393450049186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H_FsxVUC6sE/Tp4ikVrgJeI/AAAAAAAABL4/rczH2EBRdO4/s1600/10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H_FsxVUC6sE/Tp4ikVrgJeI/AAAAAAAABL4/rczH2EBRdO4/s200/10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665003388968904162" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-06iqo1_Zufk/Tp4ijrcOxQI/AAAAAAAABLg/w1VnijE6-LQ/s1600/12.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-06iqo1_Zufk/Tp4ijrcOxQI/AAAAAAAABLg/w1VnijE6-LQ/s200/12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665003377630561538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2JfqMtGn3tE/Tp4n-D7GhcI/AAAAAAAABNI/nRq1ilIBp9Y/s1600/01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2JfqMtGn3tE/Tp4n-D7GhcI/AAAAAAAABNI/nRq1ilIBp9Y/s200/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665009328437233090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fyHG5_kAP58/Tp4n-I0uiCI/AAAAAAAABNU/OkhBYj8gWnY/s1600/02.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fyHG5_kAP58/Tp4n-I0uiCI/AAAAAAAABNU/OkhBYj8gWnY/s200/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665009329752672290" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Kaylee has two identical pairs of shoes.

Andy was not too thrilled with it; I think it was too loud, too cold, and too close to nap time for his taste! He did manage to get in a little nap in the stroller, at least.<br /><br />Kaylee had fun on the rides. She liked the fast swing one best; it was the first and last one she rode and by the end it was getting pretty cold in the shade...as she was demonstrating with her "I'm freezing!" face as she was waiting to get off the ride.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JfCkNsDBg_U/To4KoPTA39I/AAAAAAAABLI/1-bFYDuS1wk/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

When she got home, I asked her what she did and she said, "<span jsid="text" class="commentBody">you have to look in my folder to see if you find a project!" That made me chuckle. She had made a fish out of her handprint. She said she got to play on the playground and she saw Cameron - the boy in her class last year she had a preschool crush on (every day we'd hear, "Cameron is so funny, he makes me laugh!"). He's not in her class this year, but I think they have playground time together sometimes, so we'll probably still hear about him from time to time.

<br />Today is Kaylee's first day of 3 year preschool and she was SO excited to go this morning! She'll be going 4 days a week, Tues-Friday, from 9-1. She has an awesome teacher and I just know she'll have a wonderful year. I am her room mom...not sure what I'm getting into with all that, so we'll see if I'll be willing to do it again!! I am looking forward to seeing her this afternoon and hearing all about her first day!

<br />You can see Andy's tooth in the first one below, and his expression in the last photo just makes me laugh.

This year it's just us - our first family vacation with just our family! Every trip we've taken with Kaylee so far has been with other family, too. It's been fun, crazy, hectic and tiring trying to get everybody ready to go. Then Andy's ready for a nap so one of us takes Kaylee to the beach or pool while the other stays with him until he wakes up. Andy, however, does not seem to like the beach. Not fond of the sand, cries when the water touches him and is not happy out there for more than about 5 minutes unless we're holding and/or playing with him. He's also not used to being out in the heat so much, so even in the shade of the umbrella and the little pop up tent we brought for him he gets all sweaty. Ah, well, maybe we'll try again in a year or two and it'll be better for him then.
<br />
<br />The house we're in is so nice and very big for just us! We got a 3 bedroom so the kids each have their own room. Kaylee wanted the queen size bed and Andy's pack and play is in between 2 twin beds in the other room. The master is very large - at the end of the king bed is a pull-out twin sleeper loveseat; even with that pulled out and the armoire and desk at the end of the room, I would imagine there is plenty of space to walk around (we didn't pull out the sleeper). The master also has a little balcony off it. The downstairs is big, too - we weren't expecting such a large kitchen area, for one. It's nice, since we brought food from home (and made a little grocery run for a few things) and are just eating in. The dining area table seats 6 (or more, squeezed in) and the living room - once we scooted the coffee table over - has enough room to spread Andy's new little quilt out for his toys and leaves room for Kaylee to play.

<br />Andy's first "real" food - peas! He loves it! He's also had baby banana yogurt, which he devours. So far so good on the eating. Oh, and he also likes puffs!

<br />Quick photos before a thunderstorm hit (thunder and lightning as we walked back - luckily just a 5 minute walk and it wasn't right upon us yet).

<br />While it rained we went to a souvenir shop around the corner. Kaylee finally found an orange dress - every time I wear my orange dress she says she wants one. We looked around and I saw this one. She started to get excited, then said, "but it has pictures on it!" (talking about the colors and stitching on it); I turned it around to see what the back looked like and she frowned, sighed and said, "pictures on the back, too? I want it to have this (pointing to the buttons on my dress) like yours!" I told her this was probably as close as we were going to get, and it didn't have to be exactly the same, but it was mostly the same color. She finally conceded that it was good enough, then seemed to get excited about it, even, wanting to put it on when we got back to the house. She also got the little frog bracelet she's wearing in the photo, and a glitter globe with a fish in it. (It's a snow globe but instead of "snow" it has glitter that floats around when you shake it.) Oh, she's also wearing some of my lipstick for the picture. Her usual "lipstick" is chapstick (that's what we call it for her so she thinks she's being more fancy...ssshhhhhh!).

A friend took some photos of him, Kaylee and some family shots on Saturday morning; we've seen a few but not all yet. Unfortunately Andy had woken early from his morning nap, so by the time we met her for photos he was not in the mood to smile much. I think she still got some good ones; we should see the rest within the week.
<br />
<br />Yesterday I set up a "studio" in our garage using a curtain hung from the garage door rail and some comforters piled up on the floor (now freshly washed and back on the beds!). With the garage door open, it let in some really good light and I think I got some good shots, if I do say so myself. Playing around with them a little in Photoshop helped even more. I took most of the photos with just Andy while Kaylee napped, then she came out for a few at the end, but Andy was wearing down by then. Here are some of the best from yesterday; check back again soon for Saturday's!

By the time I got back downstairs, he was almost done and Kaylee had helped him. She held up her hands (as if to stop me) and said, "don't worry, Mommy, we're find. I'm helping Daddy."<br /><br />She makes food for us in her play kitchen. One of her favorite things to make is stoup (stewp?) - apparently it's a cross between stew and soup. And usually pretty tasty!<br /><br />She calls Lightning McQueen (from Disney's "Cars") "Lightning BeeQueen." She's done that for a while (at least 2-3 months).<br /><br />We were playing CandyLand last night and when Jamie picked a card that took him near the end of the trail he said, "sweet!" Kaylee pulled her card next and it was two blue squares. She said, "sweet!" and we all cracked up. Then she said, "why did Daddy say that?" We explained to her that was just a funny way of saying you really liked something, and reminded her that a character on one of her current favorite TV shows (Fresh Beat Band) says that on the show. So for the rest of the game, every card she pulled earned a "sweet!"Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-72447710657586279592011-08-04T20:42:00.004-04:002011-08-04T20:49:22.854-04:00Last Art ClassKaylee's last art class was yesterday afternoon. As you can see, she made a toucan with a flower. Now we need to get crackin' on hanging them in her room! They've sort of been piling up as I waited for her to be done so we could figure out where to put them (her room v. play room). She already has 5-6 in her room, so we're running out of wall space in there...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JBTaQdXIf5U/Tjs8j0MXodI/AAAAAAAABBk/XOYz87zjQCg/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JBTaQdXIf5U/Tjs8j0MXodI/AAAAAAAABBk/XOYz87zjQCg/s200/00.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637165944587919826" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-20973210603730030062011-08-04T20:35:00.004-04:002011-08-04T20:41:07.921-04:00BIG screen!Kaylee went to her first movie in a theater! We saw Winnie the Pooh yesterday morning while Daddy was at work and Baba stayed at home with Andy.

Then she can use that TV and Jamie and I can still use our other TV. She can also use our other TV, but we can't use hers unless ours is broken.

Seems that nickname might stick. :)<br /><br />She loves to dance crazy for Andy, while he watches her and laughs. Then we hear, "look, Bud likes it! He's laughing!"<br /><br />Also, she likes to "make up dances" all the time. When music's on she'll come over and say, "look, I maked up a new dance!" then do some crazy moves. Tonight she said, "I maked up a new dance. It has to take a lot of practice." Then she did her "dance" and asked, "now can you do it?" Um, not that one, it was seriously crazy!<br /><br />She calls the perfect curl of hair that hangs at the front of her head her "spring," and she's always telling me not to mess up her spring.<br /><br />As of the past week or so she's mostly started calling them the right names, but somehow she would mix up words with "re" - the recycle bin was the "cycle bin," but Andy's baby monitor was his "remonitor," and she still calls erasing "rerasing" (or she needs to "rerase" or use the "reraser"). She also calls the "thermometer" a "remometer" or sometimes it's also a "remonitor."<br /><br />She says, "I love you! I love you, too!" and/or we count - "I love you!" "I love you, too!" "I love you three!" etc. but after "I love you nine!" she says "I love you infinity!"Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-28528632889066766612011-07-27T19:53:00.006-04:002011-07-27T21:43:27.670-04:00Art & CrazinessHere's Kaylee with her under the sea artwork from today. The vertical(ish) lines are seaweed, as are the blobs of glitter glue. The fist are made from modeling clay and smashed down onto the paper (not sure how long that'll last if we hang it on her wall!). I think all the kids in her class enjoyed smashing the clay and sticking the googly eyeballs in the most. She only has one more art class left for the summer. I can't believe it's almost August already. She starts preschool in just over a month!<br /><br />In the other pictures I was laying on my back and she was propping herself up on my bent knees being silly. I thought it was funny how her "spring" hung down.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vilx-ROgeFQ/TjCmBKEIiMI/AAAAAAAABA0/S5O946q-v2A/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vilx-ROgeFQ/TjCmBKEIiMI/AAAAAAAABA0/S5O946q-v2A/s200/00.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634185672652261570" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z0qx5xZ-u0E/TjCmBZRmdVI/AAAAAAAABA8/B2y2aALYPSA/s1600/01.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z0qx5xZ-u0E/TjCmBZRmdVI/AAAAAAAABA8/B2y2aALYPSA/s200/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634185676735280466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8eMCT_10huM/TjCmB3AEi8I/AAAAAAAABBM/fibcAvt76VY/s1600/03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8eMCT_10huM/TjCmB3AEi8I/AAAAAAAABBM/fibcAvt76VY/s200/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634185684714818498" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CWfRVMe1CSY/TjCmBo6hjhI/AAAAAAAABBE/UbhxMJFcReI/s1600/02.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CWfRVMe1CSY/TjCmBo6hjhI/AAAAAAAABBE/UbhxMJFcReI/s200/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634185680933457426" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-81820218422828849692011-07-22T22:36:00.002-04:002011-07-22T22:38:46.558-04:00New Bath SeatFor tonight's bath, we decided to try putting Andy in the bumbo.

Jamie got home early and we were able to leave Andy with him, so we got to class even earlier than usual and Kaylee got to do a lot of doodling as she was the second (out of just 4 this time, normally 5) to arrive. They also did 2 art projects this week, so she had 3 things to show off! The art on the left is her marker drawing, the one she's holding is a chameleon she fingerpainted to look like the chameleon in the book "A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni, and the one on the right is "dot art" of a ship sailing on the sea...I guess it's sailing near the shore, since there's also a tree. The blue sea was made by painting on bubble wrap then pressing that on the paper. I thought that was a fun idea that turned out really well!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jZlpNFO4kUM/TijaSof3rpI/AAAAAAAAA8U/iLdljVBQwf8/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jZlpNFO4kUM/TijaSof3rpI/AAAAAAAAA8U/iLdljVBQwf8/s200/00.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631991347670396562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p1GSjCmlrCE/Tijd62D9nHI/AAAAAAAAA88/ByeoXl4nH8s/s1600/chameleon.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p1GSjCmlrCE/Tijd62D9nHI/AAAAAAAAA88/ByeoXl4nH8s/s200/chameleon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631995337041091698" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-19931964257014516652011-07-14T14:00:00.002-04:002011-07-14T14:02:43.652-04:00Mini MonetYesterday's art class project was to copy Monet's Lily Pads painting.

Kaylee spent at least 3 hours in the pool and even Andy seemed to enjoy it some this time. The water was pretty warm, even despite all the rain we've had this week, and was much more like his bath water temperature than the cooler water the last time he took a little dip. Kaylee got a new bikini and was eager to wear it and show it off. She loves it and told me, "it's okay if you see my belly sometimes, because that's what you're supposed to do when I wear my monkey bikini." I suppose that's true.

Afterwards she was drawing on her magnetic drawing board and then came to show me what she'd drawn. "Look, Mommy! I drawed a dinosaur!" I'm not sure if it was a blob she drew that she noticed looked like a dinosaur or if she was trying for a dino, but it does look like a T-Rex - even has a tail!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zWidEsDP48c/ThNFSznEWAI/AAAAAAAAA54/LeOimcjmGbg/s1600/00.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zWidEsDP48c/ThNFSznEWAI/AAAAAAAAA54/LeOimcjmGbg/s200/00.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625916548909914114" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885835334333568297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609335602237435735.post-84377122101618854282011-07-04T22:03:00.008-04:002011-07-04T23:08:13.713-04:00Happy July 4!Happy Independence Day, Americans! We had a fun weekend, filled with fireworks and festivities. Saturday night a church near us put on a great fireworks show, and had a huge inflatable slide and jumpy house for the kids. Kaylee went down the slide 7-8 times and was super sweaty all that climbing, sliding and running. Jamie went with her each time, too, so he was worn out, as well. :) We had brought some sparklers, so she did that right before they turned out all the parking lot/stadium lights for the fireworks to start. Kaylee was excited for them last year, but I think she enjoyed them even more this year. We enjoyed that we found a place so close! Last year it probably took about 40 minutes for us to get home because of all the traffic (for what otherwise would have been a 10-15 minute drive). This year there was NO traffic getting out. From the time the fireworks grand finale ended, we were home within 10 minutes, including packing up our chairs and walking back to the car. Definitely know where we're going from now on!!<br /><br />Sunday night we went over to a neighbor's house for a cookout. Some of them were planning to go to the city's fireworks show, but decided to pass in the end, so we took the party outside to our cul-de-sac and stayed up until about 10:30. We were glad we'd taken Kaylee to the fireworks the night before. She would have been fine not seeing them, but she did have a great time so we were glad she got to enjoy them (even though we could see some over the houses as we were playing outside, wasn't the same as being there).<br /><br />Today we just enjoyed a mostly lazy day at home. I took Kaylee out to ride her bike some. It was hot out today (July in GA...of course it was!), but we were out about 30 minutes. She is getting really good at it! She still needs a push sometimes to get started going uphill, but has come a long way in a short time, especially considering we haven't taken her out much because it's been so hot!! See our video blog for Kaylee in action on the bike!<br /><br />On to the photos...I think Andy was upset that we were taking Kaylee to see fireworks, but leaving him behind with Jamie's mom. He slept through it all, though, so I'm pretty sure he will be okay. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_BuRR9Qoa7k/ThJxNQbKr_I/AAAAAAAAA3I/Y_QA3zkp1IM/s1600/02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I realized we didn't have any festive attire for her this year and went digging through her old clothes. Luckily we could pair this with some shorts and re-purpose the dress as a shirt this year.<br /><br />Here's our happy little Andy on the 4th, and with Daddy, getting ready to head up to bed.
