Kiley

I thought this was summer! I have less time to myself than I do during the school year. I can't even keep up with email or blogging. It's the little one! I have to be on my toes all day long. Entertaining an almost 2 year old is exhausting, but I am loving it! Here's are two quick incidents this week that I thought I would share.

She wants to do everything, herself, of course. " I do it!" are her favorite words, I think. She even likes sitting on the potty alone with the door shut at times. While daddy went to check on her last night, she was sitting with a magazine all spread out pretending to read. It was priceless.

Kiley also gave us a moment of shock on father's day. She has been opening up the back door for a while now, she can get in, but not back out. Not a big deal. However, we learned that she can also turn the dead bolt lock. For about 30 seconds, JC and I were in shock when we realized that Kiley had locked us out of our house, with herself inside! Thank God, she likes to play with that lock and unlocked in a matter of seconds.

Savannah Vacation

My good friend, Amy along with her two children, Caroline (5) and Drew (2 1/2) invited Kiley and I to go on vacation with them to Savannah. What an adventure we had and what wonderful memories we made together! It was about a 4 hour drive...not too bad with 3 kids! It is a good thing that our first night out for dinner was not a taste of what the vacation would be like, because the kids gave us a run for our money! Kiley was a little monster at dinner!

After dinner, the first night!

Day 2 : Tybee Island Beach
The kids had great fun at the beach. I will admit that I was a little apprehensive taking Kiley to the beach due to her previous encounter with the beach in March. (She wouldn't even touch the sand!) As you can see from the photos, she had a blast! She even asked to go to the beach the next day. The ice cream was a hit too!

Ready for the Beach!

Beach Fun!

We were also able to meet up with some of Amy's friends from high school. I guess we looked a little funny....we were getting comments like: it must be a baby convention, stroller brigade, stroller parade, etc.

Day 3: visiting with Amy's family

I was fortunate enough to meet Amy's family. They were all very welcoming and kind. While visiting family, Kiley enjoyed bottle- feeding goats, riding the four wheeler and tractor along with picking green peppers out of the garden and eating them.

Although traveling with little ones is difficult, it was so worth it! We had so much fun and can't wait to go back again! Thank you to the Tecks for the memories and adventures!
