Kiawah for Father's Day!

What a great trip!! I don't know who enjoyed the beach more - us or the girls! We joined Thold, Ruth Ellen, Laura, Catherine, and the most popular Gill - Ellie (the puppy) for a long weekend of fun and sun. Bonus - Randy and his family were there too! You will note I do not have any photos of the Atlanta Gill's - that is because I forgot my camera in the house the first 2 days of the trip! We really enjoyed our time at Kiawah. We made a few more memories and shared so many stories! We missed having Caroline with us - but enjoyed getting one-on-one with Laura and Catherine. I hope our girls grow up to be like those Gill girls!! Ellie the puppy was a big hit! Kevin made a comment that Ellie would need therapy after the girls left - they did not leave poor Ellie alone. Kylie would lay nose-to-nose with her, tickle her toes, and even try to share her water bowl. Josie was so trilled to discover that she not only got to play on the beach all day, she also was able to get in the pool and THEN finished the day with ice cream. While we were out on the beach Josie told me "Mom, I am tired and hungry, but I don't want to be." Kylie had her first kiss while we there - a small silver fish! I hope to be able to upload the video soon. Such a wonderful trip!

Cute pics of the girls

Superhero

Something as simple as a "cape" can change the entire mood at the Walker house! We all had fun running, "flying" and singing at the top of our lungs! Kylie had no idea why she was running - but she sure was happy to run!

Cutting Grass

The Girls love Daddy's new toy!

End of the Year Program

Josie's preschool program was focused on Noah's ark - and boy was it a treat! I was too busy videoing the event to take pictures - so this is all I have!!

Summer Birthday

Josie and all the other kids who have summer birthday's celebrated on the last Friday of school! Can you tell she was excited???

Field Day

Josie's Preschool class had Field Day and practice for the "End of the Year" program. It was fun to watch the kids play. Josie saw a lady sitting in the shade nearby and thought it was Kevin's grandma (who recently passed away). Josie pointed to the lady (who did have an uncanny resemblance to her Grandma) and said, "Look Mama, Grandma came to see ME!" and Josie took off running towards her. I had to stop her, fight back my tears and explain "No Josie, that is not Grandma" - and Josie looked up at me with those sweet, innocent eyes and said, "That's right, she is in heaven." I lost it - while Josie ran to join her friends.

Fun in the Sun

Fishing

The girls really seem to enjoy "fishing"...or slapping the water with the pole.

Happy Easter!

Go Fly a Kite

A little about Kylie

Kylie loves books - or at least pulling them off the bookshelf. She has now realised that she can climb on the chair and reach all the things that I put

"out of her reach." She has also started the new "smile" when she sees the camera....it is more like what she should do when the doctor ask her to say ahhhh...

Kylie is now 15 months old and has soooo much personality. She is Josie's little shadow! Kylie has crazy curly hair that has its' very own personality! She only wants you to touch her head when she is ready for a little nap- then she loves for me to "scratch" her head or rub her sweet little hand. She sleeps on top of her blanket and pillow and with her pacifier and Moo Moo. Kylie wakes up so happy and as soon as her little feet hit the floor she is looking for Josie. Most mornings she will run in and they hug and kiss and giggle for a few minutes and then their day can begin. In the last few weeks she has discovered that she get into or out of just about everything. She can now climb into Josie's bed, under her own crib, onto the toilet, on the kitchen table, into all the cabinets (after she takes all those pesky pots and pans out) and is also very good at hiding in my closet. She is an aboslute joy to be around! I am so blessed to have to precious little girls!

Together

Why is it so hard to get a cute picture with the girls? Or even just a good one of them together? Here are a few attempts!
