Littleton Museum

I took a day off and took Kylie to the Littleton Historic Museum which is an old working farm. There's really not much to see inside b/c you spend most of your time outside walking the grounds among the animals. I have a feeling we'll be going there a lot since school is back in session.

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Kylie!

Kylie officially turned 1 on August 3rd! People kept asking us if we could believe it, and my answer was a resounding Yes, I Can. I don't know how we would have made it without our families.

We held a family birthday party a week before Kylie's birthday. As you can see she liked hanging out with Kyle in the garden who both share a love of dirt. Aunt Barb made her a Minnie Mouse cake which she took a bite of, but mostly just made a mess of it. On her actual birthday Chris and I took her down to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo where you can get really close to all the animals. She hung in there for 2 hrs and then let us know she was ready to go.

One of her favorite toys right now is her car she got from Aunt Bug & Aunt Cindy. We go up and down on the sidewalk for at least 20 min a day. There's been times Kylie Rene' throws a tantrum when she has to go inside which lands her in timeout for 5 min in her crib.

The last picture is Kylie's bike helmet. Chris and I thought it would be fun to take her on bike rides so we purchased a trailer this weekend and off we went. She had a pimped out ride which included toys, milk, iPhone, aspen leaves so we thought we were covered. Needless to say, it was a hellacious experience. A 45 min ride turned into 2 hrs with Kylie screaming a majority of the time.  I ended up carrying her the last half mile and couldn't stop laughing. I just thought to myself this is why we don't travel. Here's to next time...

Yard Transformation

For those of you who don't know we purchased a foreclosure home 4 years ago. We try to do a couple of projects every year. This year was the back yard and boy what a difference. So glad it's done b/c Kylie LOVES being outside. Here are some before and after shots...
