Pool Time

Khloe has been spending a lot of time at the pool lately. She just wants to run right out into the water and usually makes it under the rope before she figures out she can't touch anymore. Then gets pretty upset when I actually have to hold her. She thinks she can just swim away! She loves to jump off the side of the pool into the water and always wants to play on the ladder. Unfortunately, I can't get Troy to go to the pool yet so this is the one and only picture I have of her at the pool this year. It is a little hard to try and hold my camera out of the water and go grab her if I need to. Hopefully I can get him to the pool so I can get some more pictures.

Digital Scrapbooking

Alright so I finally started playing around with the digital scrapbooking and here was my first project I finished. This was a picture from 3 years ago that I always liked. I just added a frame around it and the word 'treasure' at the bottom. It really adds a lot to the picture! So now.....I'm hooked. This could be a dangerous hobby that occupies a lot of time! Although once I got the hang of it I'm surprised at how easy it is! Don't worry I'll get back to posting pictures of Khloe...I know that is what everyone wants to see. Just had to play around a little with this one!

We are planning to head to the zoo on Friday...if the weather holds out. It is looking like it might rain. Hopefully we can go and have some nice weather. I'm excited to take Khloe to the zoo. She is going to LOVE it!!!

The Park

We have got a little girl that LOVES the park! There is absolutely no fear in her! She will go down any slide by herself, any teeter totters, swings....you name it she loves it. She has decided that she is past the "baby" swing and needs to move on to bigger and better swings. I think this was the fourth or fifth swing she had tried out that day. Mind you they are all the same, but apparently not to her. She had to try them all out. We took her to a different park the other day and she was not at all afraid to go down the 15 foot slide all by herself.

Happy Mother's Day!

It was a little bit chilly out on Mother's Day, but we were able to get outside just long enough to fill some buckets and pick some dandelions!

Picking Dandelions with Gramma

Warm weather...finally!

What a doll!

We went to a wedding today for one of my high friends and after getting home, Khloe decided she wanted to spend a little time outside exploring. Which was just fine with me, considering I can never spend too much time behind the camera now. I ran inside to get it and started clicking away.

Babies

As promised we went to the store and got some babies. I must say it was money well spent. Those babies have been drug around everywhere!

When it was time for the morning snack, Khloe even decided to feed some Trix to her babies.

Perched on the bathroom counter holding all three of the babies. Always has to be up high seeing what is going on!

I am pretty sure I'm going to be hated in about 10 or 15 years for taking these pictures, but it will be well worth it!
It was supposed to be bath time but she just couldn't stop strolling the babies around to take a bath!

Visiting friends

We got to go visit some of our friends this week. Unfortunately McKenna wasn't feeling the greatest and we never ended up getting a picture of the two of them together. Although I don't think Khloe minded too much, she still got to play in the purple sand and carry her babies all around!

I'm really suprised she set this baby down at all. We had to make a special trip to the store when we got home to go pick up some babies and all the neat acessories that McKenna had!

Jessica was nice enough to let us borrow McKenna's cute hat since I forgot Khloe's at home.

Time to say goodbye! It was a short trip but well worth it!

New Camera has arrived!

Well I finally hit the pay button after months of anticipation and got my new camera this week! I can't believe what a difference it makes. I may not even need Photoshop now! Here are a few of the pics I took.

After Troy got over the initial shock of how much this camera cost, he decided maybe it wasn't such a bad purchase after all.

Here are a few more fun pictures that I took over the weekend!

These are two of Khloe's favorite place. She loves to sit up on my station and "destroy" everything in site. She especially loves to dig through my makeup bag and get her hands dirty. She also loves to climb up on the couch and watch for birds and "bugs" (flies). She could watch those flies fly around all day long! Nevermind all of the toys that clutter the floor. Then it was time to head outside!
We went to DG last week and purchased a $5 yellow chair. Probably the best $5 I've ever spent on her! She carries that chair around everywhere!
What are you looking at Khloe?
Oh don't worry it is just your dad trying to hide from my camera. He thinks my camera isn't fast enough to catch all of his crazy moves.

Notice the blurriness....I was actually trying to make the photo like this just in case anyone was questioning my ability!

I tried to tell him my camera can shoot fast and he didn't believe me!

Needless to say I am already having tons of fun taking pictures. I can't believe how crisp the photos are just straight out of camera. I can't wait to get some printed and see how they look compared to all of my old ones. I think I'm going to regret not getting this camera sooner!

Outside finally!

We have finally been able to get a couple of nice days outside for Khloe to ride her "lawnmower." It is so nice to have it outside instead of inside! There is much more room for her to ride around. It was also her first ride in the wheelbarrow....she wasn't so sure about that!
