Do you love jewelry?

Kassie's latest fad is my old jewelry. She asks me every day if I love jewelry too. She doesn't have a favorite piece but she does seem a little partial to the pink ones. She did tell me the other day that she wants to be a princess when she grows up. I think all the "beautiful jewelry" as she describes it, has gone to her head.

Starting Solids

"Kassie, do you want to grab a spoon so you can help feed Tommy?"

"Ok, sure! Here you go."

"Is that spoon too big for Tommy's mouth?"

Giggle Giggle!!!

"Hey, this bib is pretty neat!"

"Wait a second, what's this???"

"I'm not too sure about this!"
"Getting better!"


"Not so bad!"
"Maybe I like that stuff!" "Ahh, feeling good!"

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I asked Kassie what she wanted to be when she grows up and her answer was, "a mermaid with a pink tail". For a long time she would always say a bird but I guess she's moving on to bigger and better things.

I asked Tommy what he wanted to be and he just smiled and ate his hand.

Pumping water for the garden
Humm, is she thirsty? We must be cutting back on her liquids because of potty training.


"Hey, guys wait for me!"

Daddy Lee

This morning when Kassie woke up I told her it was Father's Day. Her face lit up and she asked if we were going to have a party for daddy. I said sure so she ran and gave him a hug and told him "Happy Father's Day". Today in nursery Kassie made Lee a special tie card and told her leaders that her dad's favorite color was pink. Don't worry Lee's favorite color isn't pink. We think she said that because pink is her favorite color. She's such a daddy's girl and probably thinks his favorite color is the same as hers.
Tonight we are having Lee's favorite food, Panda Express Orange Chicken.

Father's Day

In honor of Father's Day here's a tribute to my dad!
Five things I love about my dad

1. He always came to all of my tennis matches.

2. He's the "grill master" You name it and he can grill it. Boy, do I miss his salmon.

3. He always says "I love you!"

4. He LOVES being a Grandpa, and is a darn good one.

5. He taught me that I can do anything I set my mine to.

Two Munchkins

Kassie and Tommy are becoming the best of friends. She loves to make him laugh by getting really close to his face and saying, "Tommy, TALK!". He is definitely entertained by her running around and causing mischief.

The dress Kassie has on is her absolute favorite! She calls it her Sleeping Beauty dress and she has to have her butterfly sandals that are two sizes too big for her to go with it. (The sandals have "jewels" on them, that is why she likes them so much.) She loves to play dress up and often wears multiple outfits throughout the day. Oh, and she is really into jewelry. I pulled out a few of my necklaces, bracelets, and rings that she could play with. Kassie said they were so "beautiful".

On Monday Kassie told me she did not want to wear diapers anymore!! You know you have officially entered the world of potty training when you have all the bathrooms mapped out in the stores. No turning back now! She is doing incredibly well and we are soooooo proud of her. This potty training thing has been a definite confidence booster for her. Knock on wood though, because you never know what might happen two weeks down the road, right?
