Kaylee's First Birthday Party!

Last weekend family and friends came to our house to celebrate Kaylee's first birthday! We had a really full house (and it was really, really hot outside) but we still had lots of fun! Here's some of the guests finishing lunch.


More guests finishing lunch.



Kaylee's cake.


Everyone elses' cake.



Oooo, is this mine?



It is! Wow...



She was a little tentative at first.




Then she decided she liked it and dove right in!



And she smeared it everywhere in the process.



And gave herself some crazy hair!



On to presents! And she did get some good ones!

These are dresses from Great-Grandma Virgina & Grandpa Bill.



A baby doll from GG & GPaw. Which is a huge hit. She loves that you push the tummy & it giggles at you. She giggles right back!



A tea set from Kelly, Sharon and kids. Which is also a hit, with both of us.



A dress and a backpack with a blanket in it from Uncle Richard & Aunt Kirsti.



A puppy that says the 'Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep' prayer and an outfit from Great-Grandma Ruby & Grandpa Paul.



A handmade blanket...






and clothes from Grandma Net & Grandpa Vince.



A baby doll stroller from Mommy & Daddy. Which is also a hit with both of us.



One of the toys on the stoller has a button on it that plays music. She loves to push that button.



Clothes from Nana and the Aladdin book is from our neighbor Kamryn!



I really like playing tea with Kaylee.

Aunt Debra couldn't make it to the party, so she brought the gift from her and Uncle Brent over a few days later. They got her a "My First Purse" that talks and sings and has an oversized lipstick tube, braclet, mirror, keys and money in it.


She also brought her gift from counsins Kim, Matt, Garrett and Kendall & TJ and Lindsay. They got me a really cute outfit with roses on it and shiny silver shoes which she loves!


Kaylee had her 1 year checkup yesterday and the doctor said she is doing great! She is growing well at 29 1/2 inches long and 21.4 pounds! And is doing great developmentaly too!

Independance Day!!

This year for the 4th of July we went to Aunt Debra & Uncle Brent's for swimming and supper. Then, just before dark, everyone came back to our house to watch the city's firework display and set off some of our own fireworks!

Kaylee wouldn't keep this headband on, so it only lasted about an hour before Mommy gave up and put it away. She'll try again next year!

"DON'T take my picture."

Cheese!!!!

About the time Mommy was done swimming and went to get the camera to get pictures of me swimming ALL OVER Aunt Debra's pool (all by myself!) I decided to get out too! So here I am leaving the pool with my water wings still on.



This is shortly before we went back to our house. Kaylee was getting very, very tired and was basically in a trance while cousin Lindsay combed her hair!



Cousin Kendall and I playing catch (yes, in Aunt Debra's house).



Trying to dig the firecracker tank back out of the water. I wanted to keep it because it rolled! It didn't survive the water though.



Kaylee watching a few of the local fireworks before Mommy finally took her to bed. She missed seeing the city's show, but slept soundly through it she was so tired!



"Did you see that one!!!! It went boom way up there!!!!"
