Remainder June in Photos

Here's a recap of the rest of our month of June in photos and videos.

June 1st

A little video of her coloring and dancing to Sesame Street on TV

Taking the dogs on a walk in our neighborhood. She insisted on walking Lucky while I walked Alex and held onto her wagon.

Evidently both her and Lucky got tired on our way home.

Bath time and colors everywhere

June 2nd
What our front door looked like one day from all the online orders I made after we moved in... in my defense, a lot of those were bar stools from Target that I couldn't decide on and were returned!

June 4th

A little grocery run to Fresh

A grocery store with sherbet and sprinkles... what's not to like?!?  She was adjusting well to living in Tyler.

It looks like Kinley might've gotten a little carried away and colored all over Alex.

June 7th

Bubbles and rain boots 

June 14th

She goes and gets in her "accessory drawer" in her room. When she comes out, she always has on her sunglasses, necklace and hat. She can't ever wear just one of the things!

June 17th

Kinley stayed with Giggy and Pa while I went to Colt's graduation. They let her test out her birthday present early.

She helped walk the dogs while she was there and enjoyed looking at the cows.

June 19th

Exhausted and napping in her big girl bed instead of her crib

I did a trial run of her birthday cake. Obviously, I didn't have enough icing to make it pretty on my trial run. Kinley enjoyed tasting it though!

At Lowe's... I swear... there is never a dull moment!

June 23rd

I walked into her baby sleeping in her bed.

A little video of Kinley giving me kisses! 

June 24th

Target trip

Grandma, Papa, Nicci, Davallen, Dylan'Rae, Blake and Victoria all came down the night before Kinley's birthday party. Kinley was checking out Dylan'Rae. Sometimes I think Kinley is going to adjust well to becoming a big sister. Other times, not so much! 

June 26th

Playing with all her new toys the day after her birthday party

June 27th

When Colt finally joined us in Tyler for good, one of the first things that he wanted to get done was get his workbench built and garage organized. Since this, he's added even more shelves. We really wish this house had a 3 car garage though. If we end up staying here long-term, I'm sure we'll be adding on in some way.

June 29th

After our zoo day and it looks like after a nap too. 

June 30th

Sporting all of her accessories again

Kinley's 2nd Birthday Party - The Party

Now on to the actual party to celebrate Kinley turning 2!

The birthday girl before everyone arrived

We set up Kinley's little blow up pool in the backyard for the littlest ones to play in.

Her pool was going to be our only activity really in the backyard, but Grandma and Papa went big. They bought this huge blowup water slide for Kinley's birthday present. It was definitely a party hit. The kids had a blast on it. Kinley wasn't scared of it at all either. Even though she had to get a little push to get up to the top most of the time, she loved it. I'm sure she will have even more fun playing on it this next summer. 

This was just her checking it all out before the water started and everyone got there. 

I don't think she was real sure what to think at first when everyone was singing Happy Birthday to her. I think she enjoyed it though and enjoyed being the center of attention!

Here is the video of her blowing out her candles.

Some of the kids eating their snacks and cake

This little table was mine when I was little. Since then, Colt has put a new top and seats on it and painted it gray. I've had multiple people ask me where I got it though. I tell them they are out of luck.

Kinley and Jacob's little boy, Cohen

Davallen helping Kinley keep up with the big kids

Kinley was all about the water slide that day. Cohen...not so much. He spent his time in the little pool instead. This was the only time Kinley joined him, and it didn't last too long. 

I had to get in on the action. Colt tested it out after the party too.

Colt, Grandma Linda, Nicci and Tooter

Drying off in her flamingo towel and playing with her balloons... she was due for her regular nap and getting sleepy.

Our best attempt at a family picture that day... she was way too busy to take a picture with us.

Birthday present time

She got entirely too much, as always. 

After presents, Dad changed her and brought her back in Minnie Mouse pajamas. I think he thought she might nap soon, but that wasn't happening.

She wasn't done playing in the water though so we ended up back in another swimsuit. We went through so many outfit changes that day!

Kinley with her Gerald and Allison's little girl, Hensley

Here's a little video of Kinley telling some of the last guests, Gerald, Allison and Hensley, bye.

Can you tell she's worn out from all her partying?!

She had to check out all her new presents again before she went to bed though. I had a friend recommend this balance bike to me. My mom and dad got it for her, and it's definitely been a hit. The back wheels go in and out for when she learns how to balance. It didn't take her long at all to pick up on it, and she has rode that thing like crazy ever since she got it.

Toys galore

2 years... now it's actually been 2 1/2 since I'm so behind on post... and it's went so fast! We love our girl, and we are glad that everyone got to come to our house to celebrate her!
