The Beach

2 years and 8 months old

I would say Katelyn's favorite place to go is definitely the beach. She loves digging in the sand and splashing in the water. She enjoys the whole experience. We finally brought the camera this time so we took some pictures and video

Petting Zoo

Fort Rickey Children's Discovery Zoo
2 years and 7 months old

I did realize afterwards that this was an Alpaca not a Llama ... oops :)

Notice in the clip below how she insists on staying in the balls, until I mention it's lunchtime, then she can't get out of there quick enough.

Kiddie Pool

2 years and 6 months old
Katelyn had a great time cooling off in her pool and playing tee ball in the backyard. We are in the early stages of potty training so we are trying to stay close to home! We started on Friday and only had 1 accident in three days (which was my fault, I didn't remind her and it had been awhile). She is wearing big girl underwear (Dora and Princess) during the day and she is doing a great job, better than I could have ever anticipated!

Happy Father's Day

2 and 1/2 years old
We all went out on the boat to celebrate Father's Day and watch Hydrofest.

The "I am sooooo happy" face

Lions and Tigers and Bears.....

2 years and 4 months old

We took Kateyn to the Zoo on Saturday and had a wonderful time. We saw all the animals and then had a nice lunch outside. Katelyn loved the elephant, penguins, birds and the giant turtles. She was really excited about seeing the bears and kept asking when we would see them. Of course when we did get there they were all curled up in a ball sleeping in the corner. So she just saw a pile of brown fluff...oh well.

First Haircut

So we took Katelyn to Snip-its for her first "real" haircut. The place is geared for kids (as you can tell by the bright colors and toys everywhere, not to mention each chair has a TV monitor which plays cartoons!) They saved a lock of her hair and she got a prize from the "prize machine" for doing such a great job.



She sat relatively still the whole time (as still as a 2 year old can sit) although she did have a death grip on my hand.

The Luckiest Little Girl

Katelyn is so lucky to have two sets of such wonderful Grandparents who love and adore her so much!

Katelyn in South Carolina

We decided during our Feb. break to drive down to South Carolina to visit Grandma Lou and Grandpa Ken. Here are some pictures from our visit.

By the way she did absolutely amazing the entire trip. This includes the entire car ride down and back, the two nights at the hotel, the two nights at Grandma and Grandpa's house and eating out at restaurants. We could not have asked for a more perfect trip!


Mommy, Daddy and Katelyn:

Katelyn and Grandma Lou

We decided to take Katelyn to a nearby playground to run around, but the weather was actually a bit chilly so we didn't stay too long, but she got alot of fun in anyway.

Driving already?

Bouncing away....

After all that fun and excitement she was actually a bit tired...

She perked up for dinner...

Katelyn was most fond of Misty, their dog, she loved chasing Misty around the house.

It was so wonderful that Katelyn could spend some time with her grandparents in SC and she continues to talk about her trip and all the fun she had!

Playing in the Snow

We had a beautiful day today! It was sunny and warm (well as warm as it can get in here in the middle of January :) So Katelyn got to play outside in the snow.
