I am a lucky Momma!!!

Had to share these pictures because they are too cute! Kylee is wearing the tutu my mom made as well as the light box in the back.
The second is a picture of our big girl Olivia. Sadly, she just had a bath and we went outside to play for about 10 minutes and I turn around and see her face. I couldn't help but laugh! She is the son Chris never had but a very cute and sweet one!!! Needless to say she needed another bath that night!

I am a very lucky momma and so thankful for my two beautiful girls!!

A little behind

I am a little behind on getting pictures up. Kylee will be 6 weeks tomorrow and it is going by so fast! This is her 1 month photo. My mom found these stickers online for each month. I am going to do my best to keep taking her picture in this chair as she grows. It is actually Olivia's chair that Grandpa Bill and Emiko gave her but she is getting really good about sharing.

This Friday we all went and watched Tommy graduate from the University of Houston. We are very proud of him! Olivia and Kylee both did great at graduation. Olivia sat by my mom and sister and clapped for everyone and of course played on the phone. We then went to the Sam Houston Race Track for a cook off that my Uncle was cooking in. He has done it the past few years and it is fun. They had BBQ for dinner and of course Olivia had the ribs. She loves to eat Papa's(her name for my dad) ribs! She had a good time running around and got to have a cup cake for eating a good dinner. We have had cake so much lately that now she is asking for cake. 
Had to share this picture from the cook off. Olivia LOVES to eat ribs!!!
Olivia, Kylee and I have been going to story time at the library on Wednesdays. We went the first time with our neighbor and the past couple of weeks just the 3 of us. Olivia loves it and sings all the songs and listens to the stories. Last week, we stayed and read some books at the little tables. She is really into books which is great! We will start the Little gym in June and that lasts most of the summer. Kylee is such a trooper and just goes where we take her. Both of the girls are so sweet and Olivia is a great big sister!!!

Olivia's Frist Illness

Well, a little over 2 years and Olivia has had her first illness. She started having a low grade fever Sunday night and into Monday morning. When she got up from her nap it was 100.2. I was worried because she has never had a fever that high. I called the nurse and she said it could be an ear infection or strep. I told her that she has tubes and that we had seen the ENT about a month ago and she said they were perfect so I didn't think it was an ear infection. So, Tuesday morning we went to the doctor, all 3 of us and found out Olivia has strep. Then I worried because Kylee is just barely a month and Olivia had been huging and kissing on Kylee. Dr. Taylor said that it is unlikely that she would get strep but to watch for a fever, vomiting or not eating. Olivia is starting to feel better thank goodness and is acting like her happy self again.

This is my second week at home with the girls and I am loving every minute! We have been to story time at the library, hanging out with friends and swim lessons. I am going to sign Olivia up for the little gym again this summer since we had so much fun last year. I am one lucky momma!!!

Our daughter the fish!


Olivia is obsessed with swimming! She stays in the pool even though her lips are purple from being cold. She started swim lessons last week and was so excited to go swim. She asked the entire way to swim lessons if daddy and doggie were going swimming. I told her that it was just her and she would be learning how to swim. Olivia has no fear! She got right in the pool and the instructor had to put a float around her waist because she went into the pool while the instructor was with the other student. I started to laugh because it was not at all surprising to me and the others girls dad just looked at me. I explained that this is why we put her in swim lessons. Olivia loves swimming with Chris and of course all the dogs. She is getting better about putting her head under, blowing bubbles and moving her arms and kicking her legs. She is truely a fish!

1 month already???


Hard to believe that 4 weeks ago today our second beautiful daughter was born! Kylee is such a blessing and we are all loving every minute with her. She loves sitting up and looking around at everything. Her neck is very strong and she can hold it up for a while before she falls over. She is not a big fan of being on her tummy but I try to put her on her tummy a few times a day to get used to it. She sleeps very good through the night only waking up once or twice during the night. Olivia LOVES hugging and kissing Kylee and is a big helper to me. I am enjoying being at home with both the girls and feel so lucky to get to stay at home.
