Happy Birthday to our sweet, affectionate, stubborn and fiery tempered girl!

We celebrated Kylie's 2nd birthday yesterday!! I feel like she was just born and now she's a big toddler girl. We went to Crazy Frogs (bounce houses/slides) and then came home for pizza and cake with a few of our good friends. Such a good time.



Kylie's new Turbo Turtle :)



The hit present from Grandma and Grandpa: a talking, dancing Elmo. She loved it!









Daddy took the leftover cake parts and made a jet fighter

fun moments from our camping weekend

We went to Longpoint Campground with the Blunts for a couple of days. We were blessed with beautiful weather and good times.

the williams funny farm...literally

those silly chickens finally started producing something!

blue springs and fort wilderness

We just got back from a five day camping vacation with the Blunts to Blue Springs and Disney's Fort Wilderness. We had such a great time and wish we could've stayed longer. Here's just a few pics of our experience.

One of many bike rides this past week


Getting in Blue Springs for the first time



Whit, Mackenzie and Brendan getting used to the cold water.


Rebecca gently prodding JJ into the water. Okay, maybe more like throwing him in...


Rich and JJ


Mackenzie decided to be brave and take the plunge!



Now Brendan...

This is the closest you'll see me to the water. I don't like to feel like an ice cube when I'm swimming :)


Donathan doing an illegal dive


Kylie wasn't too sure about this



Donathan, Kylie and I rowed the sabot over to the swimming entrance and then Donathan took the kiddos for a ride to the head of the springs.



The kids attempted to fish, but there were no bites



A before-bedtime viewing of Cinderella-Kylie's favorite movie these days.


The toddler waterslide at Fort Wilderness. Once she got used to it, she loved it!
