Chill-axing

Well, it has been mentioned before that Kyley is a pretty fun spirited little girl.  

She is a pretty cool little girl too, and she likes to show off once in awhile.  

Ultimately, Kyley is a pretty laid back girl (like her daddy) and a social butterfly (like her mommy)...who would have thought it was possible to get the best of both of them.

She loves to chill and relax on the deck and the boat...wherever works for her...and it works for her mommy and daddy too!

Memorial Day Weekend 2012

Well, needless to say, Kyley was not happy on Memorial Day weekend because she did not get to go visit her Uncle Mike and Auntie Mallory as planned.  Mommy's real estate business has really been picking up lately as it is that time of year, and it did not allow them to leave town.   On top of that mommy caught a really bad cough/cold/sore throat....and then Kyley got it:(.   It would have been awful to get the mommy-to-be sick.  So, she was really not a happy camper.  Mommy and Daddy tried their best to make it a fun weekend at home for her though.  I think they did alright?

The weather was warm and VERY windy, so they could not take the boat out most of the weekend.  They made fun at home playing outside, dancing, and whatever else the little one wanted to do.  Mommy and daddy enjoyed the time with Kyley too!

Kyley went to visit Kyndal at Resthaven and gave her some new flowers.  It truly is a beautiful place, and it is so amazing to see all of the flags.  Surprisingly she seems to enjoy our visits, and mommy and daddy are glad they started taking her so young.  It is important for her to understand love, loss, life and death...right now she just understands the love and life part:)!

Finally, Mother Nature decided to calm the wind down on Monday.  So, as expected we got the boat out on the lake.  Kyley is very interested in driving right now...and checking out all the switches and buttons.  She also loves to go see all the people, animals, etc.  Mommy and daddy decided she needed to experience the real meaning of the lake experience.  So, we pulled up on the beach and off she went...straight into the water...fully clothed!  Kyley had so much fun getting her feet covered in sand and then walking in to rinse them off.  She loved seeing all of the people and showing off too.

 

Although it was not the weekend fun that was planned she made the best of it...and the short periods of active time she allowed before it was time to crash.  Kyley wore her little self right out, but she wasn't going to let this cold keep her down!

Wow...she's a big girl!!

Kyley had a delayed 2 year checkup due to her birthday weekend ear infection. Dr. Hund wanted to see her in 30 days, so he postponed the checkup until the 24th of May.  The nice thing about this appointment was that there were no shots involved...woot, woot!!!  Well, she is doing great and he had no concerns about her growth and development!  And, Kyley does not have to go in for 6 months or at least until she needs her flu shot!

She is a big girl and almost the 20th percentile in all areas:)...remember the other kids have 3 months on her!  Note this also means she is perfectly proportioned!

Kyley Denise Kubik

24 lbs. 6 oz.

32 1/2 inches

46 1/4 cm head

Kyley really is a big girl and loves to show off.  She sometimes tries to eat yogurt or her Danonino 3 times a day just so she can feed herself.  Kyley also likes to be silly and look at the mess she made in the mirror!

Mommy and Daddy are super blessed to have this silly girl in their lives!

Family Fun in Nebraska

On the weekend of May 19th, Kyley made yet another journey to Lincoln, NE to help celebrate the upcoming marriage of her Uncle Greg & Aunt Emily.  The party was at Aunt Nola & Uncle Jim's.  All of the immediate family was able to join us except for Aunt Kimmy, Uncle Darby, Zane and Tori...they were in Utah.   All of her cousins (even the 2 girls on the way) were there to celebrate!

Kyley had such a fun day!  Cousin Stella has a fun swing set, so Kyley spent most of her day going up and down the slide, swinging and exploring the yard.  She also had fun checking out all of Stella's toys and her 2 cats and dog.

It is always so much fun to get the 3 little girls together.  There is no doubt that right now they are almost all the same size, yet Stella was 20 months, Calyn 22 1/2 months and Kyley almost 25 months.

Greg & Emily had such a nice turnout, and Kyley enjoyed celebrating with her family.  It is hard to believe that in only a few short months, she will get to attend her first family wedding!!!

Mother's Day Weekend Fun!

Kyley, mommy and daddy had a pretty fun Mother's Day weekend.  They went to dinner, took a boat ride, mommy ran a race, they had dinner with friends and a big surprise for Kyley????  

Mommy and daddy took Kyley to her first ever concert.  Nickelodeon's "The Fresh Beat Band" was in town performing at the Orpheum Theatre.  Mommy and daddy were not positive how it would go, but Kyley loves music and dancing...and she loves their show so much they had a hunch she would love it.

It was so much fun to watch the smile come on her face as they took the stage...and then again to watch her stare in awe as one of them came down the aisle near us.  Kyley LOVED every minute of it, and mommy and daddy may have had fun too!  

Kyley loves sporting her souvenir from the concert...she literally still talks about going!  Mommy and daddy hit a home run on this one!

Living the Life

Well, after Kyley's birthday the company slowed down, but the nonstop go, go, go did not. However, it is so refreshing to watch Kyley grow up and just be a kid, because she never lets any of it affect her and just plain has fun...and not smile for the camera:)!

Mommy and Aunt Emily had a garage sale, and Kyley was a big helper as you can tell.  She was the welcoming committee and she made sure all the items were quality!  Really, Kyley is just a pretty good kid as she hung out in the garage for 3 days, and if mommy didn't let her she got so upset.  She is a people person, and she did not want to miss a thing.

Kyley and Cousin Calyn got to have more playtime at the beginning of the month as their time together was slowly drawing to an end.  We are so excited for them to move and their new exciting life, but it is no lie that we will miss them dearly.  The girls had fun with all the new birthday gear and, of course, another fun day at the zoo.

Mommy, daddy and Kyley have been able to take the boat out a few times, and Kyley still loves to help her daddy drive...or man the cooler;)! 

She likes to remind us daily that she is 2 also...so fun, yet a challenge at times!  Kyley talks with more words and clearer all the time, and she truly can carry on conversations...it really is amazing how fast they learn and change.  She loves her ABC's, #'s, puzzles, books, stuffed animals and anything dangerous...!!!!

Oh to be a kid again!!!
