Mother's Day

This Mother’s Day Sean had to work and Carys and I went with Grandma and Grandpa Koehn and Aunt Brianna to the Fair Park Discovery Gardens to see the butterflies. She like the butterflies but didn’t want them to touch her. She also wouldn’t sit still for a picture, except with her mommy. :)

Easter Sunday

Saturday evening Carys started out in her adorbable rickrack jammies and woke up in the middle of the night burning up. It was a little warm in the house so I put her Punky Brewster jim-jams. They’re really Elmo and Abby Cadabby but they totally remind me of something Punky Brewster would wear. Anyway turns out she had a fever all night long. She woke up with a fever but still had a lot of fun hunting for the eggs which took all of 3 minutes. Next year the Easter Bunny is going to have to make the hiding places much more difficult.

Even though she was feeling fine, Carys and I skipped Easter brunch since baby Caroline was going and I didn’t want to chance getting her sick. There’s no way I could have kept Carys away from Caroline, she loves babies and wants to help with everything. We did go over to Grandma and Grandpa Koehn’s for dinner and to open her gifts which included a bunch of summer clothes, a new baby doll and princess wand that she thinks also doubles as a giant bubble blower.

Coloring Eggs

Egg decorating was much more hands on this year, mostly because Carys has to do EVERYTHING herself. We only one major spill, one melt down about how to get the eggs back out of the dye (clearly toddlers would prefer to stick their entire hand in and grab the egg) and no breakage. Sorry about the picture clarity. I finally figured out last night why all the pictures were coming out all blurry. Somebody got a hold of the camera and put their dirty little fingers on the lens.

Dallas Blooms

Last week Kim and I took Caroline and Carys to the Dallas Arboretum. It was a beautiful day and we had a yummy picnic lunch. Carys had to smell all the flowers.

First School Picture

The horrible, over priced school pictures have begun! Carys' first day of preschool was also picture day, I had to buy a sheet of overpriced 5X7's to commemorate. For only $150 I could have gotten an 8X10, 2 sheets of 5X7, some wallets, the master disc and copyrights. What a deal. lol

Snow In Texas!

Here are a few pics and video from our record breaking snowfall last Thursday and Friday. There have been a few snow showers since she was born but nothing like the foot we got last week. Carys loves to eat ice so instead of her nightly bowl of ice chips I went out back and scooped up some snow for her to eat.

First Day of Preschool

Carys stated her first day of preschool this morning. She was still half asleep when we got there, so I don't know if really got what was going on. I'm sure she'll have fun though once she wakes up.

Somersault

Look who figured out how to do a somersault last night.

Christmas 2009

Carys got a lot of wonderful presents this year. Thanks everyone!! We gave up on taking pictures without backup camera, Aunt Desi got plenty of photos once we got to my parents to open the rest of the presents. Here are a few from when she finally woke up (9am) Christmas morning and found the new kitchen Santa had brought her. She's been busy making us meals all week.

My Oggie Boggie is 2

My baby is no longer a baby. While everyone was here for Kim's baby shower earlier this month we threw Carys a Sesame Street birthday breakfast. The pancake cake was a big hit.
