15 Months

Kylie went to the pediatrician this morning for her 15 month check up. She turned 15 months last week on October 7th. She is such a little girl now, it is hard to believe. Every day brings some new discovery. Her favorite things are balls, dogs, her grandparents, music, babies and dancing.
Her personality is starting to shine. She really goes from one extreme to the next. One minute she is dying to go outside and play ball or ride on the lawnmower and the next she is strolling her baby or giving her baby a bottle. She is really trying to communicate more even though her favorite words are still dog and ball. Haha. She also likes to shake her head "no" alot even when she usually means "yes". We are trying to work on this. One of my big pet peeves is children that always say "no"...I can not stand that!!! I am sure she will start the "no" thing now that I have posted, haha. Hope not!
Lee and I are enjoying every minute. She is so cute and funny. Honey and I tried to start out Christmas shopping on Sunday and Kylie went with us. She was a complete handful. All over the place. I will be doing all of our Christmas shopping online this year. It is much different than last year when I could tote her around in the infant carrier. Now she is trying to climb out of the buggy or run down an aisle! Haha. Here are a few pics from this weekend. As you can see she loves being outside, balls and dogs!

Central Alabama Fair 2009

Last night we took Kylie to the fair. We had a great time. She LOVED everything!! From the lights, to the rides, to the petting zoo, the food...you name it she loved it. All of our friends went last night too, so we got to hang out with everyone and let kids play. Kylie really enjoyed the merry-go-round and I enjoyed riding the Predator and boat that swings really high with my friend, Laura Beth. A good time was definitely had by all.
A little overwhelmed when we first arrived

This Ferris wheel was bought at the 1991 auction of Michael Jackson's Neverland Estate

Thank you Selma Lions Club for a great time! We will be back next year!

More Football

Weekend before last, Lee and I ventured to Tuscaloosa to spend the weekend with friends and go to the Bama vs. Arkansas game. We had so much fun! We stayed close to campus with Mark and Sara Kathryn and had so much fun seeing old friends. It rained pretty much all day on Saturday on and off which made the Quad a huge a mud pit, but despite the nasty weather a good time was had by all. We are really enjoying being able to go to more games this year. Kylie of course had a blast at Honey and Paw-Paw's house in Tuscaloosa while we were at the game. We are taking her to Homecoming next week which should be a blast!

The boys getting ready to head to the stadium

Bryant Denny Stadium (and yes, for the millionth time I do know that I went to Auburn BUT I will admit their stadium is really pretty to me - brings back lots of childhood memories since I went to almost every single Bama home game before going to school at Auburn)
The girls decided to watch the game at the Gallettes

Catching up with friends at Innisfree Friday night

Shoe Fetish

Most girls I know have a thing for shoes, I do not happen to be one of them. I would much rather have a nice top versus shoes. My daughter, however, like most girls I know loves shoes. Kylie always points to her shoes and tries her hardest to put them on. Last night I left a pair of brown wedges in the den and next thing I know my toddler is walking by me clicking her heels on the hardwoods. It is pretty funny, but so foreign to me since I am not a shoe person. I will admit it is much more fun looking at shoes for her. Check out these cuties:
I think she would LOVE some rain boots and how cute are these??

And I think these are super cute for winter

And these because every girl needs some sparkles (I probably couldn't get her to take these off)
I have been on the look-out for some pink cowboy boots in her size but have had no luck. I found all of these at Little Monkey Toes. Great site for shoes!

Fun Football Weekend

What a fun weekend! On Friday, Kylie's school had patriotic day in remembrance of 9/11 so she went decked out in red and of course was in full Alabama attire ready for the football weekend. That afternoon, after Lee got home from work, we loaded up and headed to Demopolis to see my parents and cook-out. While visiting, I had a call from Mary Grace saying that Kyle was a little under the weather and would not be able to go to the Bama game. So after making sure that my mom could watch Kylie since Lee and my dad were going dove hunting, I made a quick trip to the Perfect Touch on Saturday to get a shirt to wear and off to Livingston I went to meet up with the crew and head to T-town. We had so much fun! Our friend, Daisy, was so sweet and asked us to sit in her family's box. That is always a treat!! I had such a good time seeing girlfriends most of which I had not seen in a year. We had a blast and I cannot wait to go back for the Bama/Arkansas game in 2 weeks.

Labor Day 2009

This weekend we traveled with my mom's side of the family to Pickwick Lake in Tennessee. We had a wonderful time. My mom's oldest sister drove over all the way from San Antonio and I was so glad to visit with her. She got to meet Kylie for the
1st time too, so that was special. I did not get very many pictures of our trip but here are a few:


Someone also discovered powdered donuts on our trip...

BTO

I got an email forwarded to me this morning that I thought was too funny not to share. The email was from one of Lee's pledge brothers that currently lives in Gadsden, AL. The email was a forward that he sent to a bunch of their college buddies. The email read:
"Well fellows, looks like one of us out of the group has officially become a Big Time Operator. See attached picture."
I clicked on the attachment and this appears:



I did spot this a few weeks ago on the Hwy and meant to take a picture. Haha. I think it is pretty funny. Even more funny is Lee's title of BTO to his friends.
