S

Were to begin? At this age, everyday is a drastic change. Kylie has grown so much. Personality, thru the roof, height, outrageous! She was giving me closed mouth kisses last night. After each is she'd do the "Muah!" It was seriously the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful thing I have encountered. Everything she does is a bragging moment for me. LOL. She just sits there and I'm proud. People probably think my posts are ridiculous sometimes, bur to me, they are all important moments/memories...every one of them. Last night she was playing with spit bubbles. Yup, that's my girl...
A few days ago, I was in the bathroom getting ready when I heard her winning. I went to her room to see what she was upset about and found her on her rocking horse...she was able to get on it all by herself but not down. I was so proud I ran to my cellphone took a picture and called her daddy... he said he was working with her on it and taught her the night before. So cute!
Kylie either hide behind her hands, or, the newest move, hides the diaper and diaper wipes...I cant imagine a nasty diaper is better than having a clean one put on...but what do I know...LOL!
And my final entry to update this as best as I can, Kylie has a molar! I thought she was only working on her front too teeth, the 2 front and the right eye tooth, I can see them right at the surface, but when I was playing with her, I dipped her upside down and helad her laughing, I saw a little white bump in the back right side on top...A TOOTH!

How can I deny my daughter playing outside when she not only got her shoes on, but also put my sandles on my feet correctly. LOL! She's been too cute all morning. I can't even handle it. She was playing with her Leapfrog refrigerator animals...they were in a Tupperware container and she had it about 6' away from the fridge, one at a time she grabbed one, put it on the fridge, went back and grabbed another...then she noticed a play pringles chip was in the Tupperware...apparently it didn't belong there, she threw it out and continued on with putting the animals on the fridge. So funny! I was typing on the laptop, she was moving her fingers mimicking mine. We played on the couch, she was giggling so hard, she grabbed my hand, directed me to her toy and I became her puppet as she made me open each pop up animal. We read a book...she's finally able to sit and listen instead of trying to eat the books. LOL. Its been a fun morning. Now she's taking a bath and we are going to run errands.

Super proud to announce...

...that our fence is finished! Kylie is free to do (almost) as she pleases in the front yard and not get hit by a car. We still have a few cosmetic things to do with it, but at least its up. I got 2nd degree sunburn on my back...not so much fun, but you know, at least I will learn from my negligence and put on sunscreen in the future. There are still so many things we want to do around the house...I really want to paint, buy a dinning room set and bar stools, a patio set would be awesome...but I think we are going to continue working on the front yard and then the backyard. We are planting a tree, grass, build a planter box under the window, and build a deck. It will look so great when all is done. Much needed curb appeal to our beautiful home. Matthew is going to decorate the front bathroom and he doesn't like my cupcake kitchen set, so perhaps later (when we paint the dinning and kitchen area) we will change that theme. We found this perfect set at K-Mart...its red and tan, cappuccino theme. Anyway, life is treating the Griswold's great. I cant believe that we finally bought a house...Kylie is growing wonderfully, and I'm going back to work part time at Big 5. I'm not really looking forward to going back to work, but at the same time, I'm not upset about it. I think I have just adapted and become comfortable with being a house wife. I have my bow hobby, but thats not bringing in enough money...so, hi ho hi ho its back to work I go. Our goal is to pay off our debt so that we can start really putting money into the house and get the things we want for it. Like a new refrigerator, the things I listed above, and I know how much Matthew is wanting to work on the backyard. It needs a new fence which is going to cost a pretty penny (especially since we are not going to tackle that one ourselves, we decided to have a professional come do it). He wants to install a waterfall, plant a tree or two, build a seating area with step up planters around it, and tile the patio. I love his exterior design ideas. He is so savy when it comes to landscape and irrigation...not me...I will stick with indoor design. So, that's pretty much whats going on with us. Kylie knows where her eyes and nose is. Its so funny, when I ask, "wheres your nose?" she picks it. Eeewww, Gross! Lol! She understands almost everything you tell her, but still not speaking much. She is still a little young, and I know that she will talk up a storm when she is good and ready. I have been working with her about being done eating...she hasn't been throwing her food on the floor nearly as often, and she tries to tell us she is done...usually trying to say it, or by trying to pick up her tray. She is still throwing her little tantrums, and being a spoiled little butt hole, but we are working on that, and she usually does it when she is tired or teething hard. Seems like those top teeth just don't want to come through....she is in so much agony. Breaks my heart that there isn't much I can do for her. She is such a good girl. Couldn't ask for more.

Bug is too dang smart and growing so fast. She understands so much. Drink, outside, shoes, close and open, don't touch, kisses, I love you, pick it up, I think she understands come here but chooses not to listen. She lives the new house. We go out front and she gets to explore so much more freely than before. We are going to put up a fence today and tomorrow. I'm excited! Keep Kylie from running out into the street and we can enjoy our tine outside.
