My Beautiful Girls

Just a couple of pictures of my beautiful girls.

Bree is my little princess and one of her favorite pasttimes is dressing up like one. She loves feeling beautiful in her special dresses.

Here she is as Sleeping Beauty....

Here she is as a Fairy Princess.....

Kyla has one of the best smiles I have ever seen. Her smile and laugh are infectious and no matter how mad I am, she flashes one of those and I can't help but smile. I am, of course, still angry but she seems to know it softens the blow a little.

Ride Kyla Ride

Here is the video I promised.

Go Go Speed Racer....

Kyla has a new passion in life. She always liked 4-wheeling with Gramps but it has taken on a whole new meaning now. She immediately knew what she was doing. It seemed totally second nature to her. She learned how to rev the engine and shift into reverse all on her own. Grandpa created a monster now and he will be getting a lot of exercise for the rest of the summer trying to catch up to her in order to steer her away from crashing headlong into trees, buildings, etc. Gramps finally got her to steer so that she was going in a continuous circle so that he didn't have to run after her constantly. She must have ridden around the yard for 45 minutes. I am sure there are going to be more stories posted about this addiction in the future.

(I tried to upload a video but it was giving me grief and it wouldn't work. I will keep trying so check back. For now you will have to be satisfied with some pictures.)

This is what happened on the way home in the car.....

Bree on the other hand was having a really tough time with not having much attention (as you can hear on the video). Gramps ended up giving her a feather and telling her that she could be an Indian Princess to help ease her attention deficit. It seemed to help but it was hard to get over the fact that Kyla was the center of everyone's attention for about an hour. Here is my little Indian.

Let a Sleeping Baby (or should I say Toddler) Lie.....

Just wanted to share this great picture of Kyla passed out in the floor. She missed her nap that day. She got upset at something and went into the bedroom and slammed the door. Well I thought I would just let her cool down from her little tantrum but after a while it was quiet....too quiet. When I went to check on her, this is what I found. I let her sleep for about 45 minutes or so then had to get her up so she would sleep later that night. Needless to say she was not very happy about getting up and let me know it for quite awhile thereafter. Just goes to show that the old saying still holds true even into the terrible twos.

Grandma GG Comes To Visit

For the past month we have had the pleasure of having Grandma GG visiting us from Texas. The girls really enjoyed the time they got to spend with her (as did I) and hated to see her leave. I typically ask Kyla about her day at snuggle time before bed and she has been asking if Grandma GG was going night night too. I guess she made a real impression. I certainly hope she comes to visit again soon. We all love her very much and can't wait for her next visit.
