Katelyn firsts

Katelyn went canoeing for the first time last month. My friend, Kay, just sent me this picture. Katelyn loved the water, but would have preferred to float down the river rather than be in the boat. We also bought her her first bike with training wheels. It took a couple of days for her to get the hang of it (how not to peddle backwards with the breaks), but now she just zooms everywhere. She has taken a couple of tumbles, but is decked out with all her protective gear.

The last photo is of Ellie, just because she is the cutest.

And one of Ellie just because she's cute

Body Art

Katelyn loves to draw and paint. However, her favorite medium is the body. This weekend she got ahold of Ellie who squealed with delight as Katelyn painted her. And then there was the clean up . . .

Camping with the family

We went camping last weekend with the Bibelhauser clan. Ellie took off and started walking. Katelyn learned to fish. The girls loved meeting their new cousin Dylan.

Katelyn at daycare today

Unfortunately, Ellie's daycare doesn't send pictures as often, but here are some of Katelyn from today at the request of my anonymous poster :D I'll try to post some of Ellie this weekend. She is getting so big. She is contemplating walking, but isn't quite ready to let go and take off. She can pull herself into a stand without assistance, so any day . . .

First dentist visit

Katelyn had her first dentist visit last week. Katelyn did an excellent job. The dental hygienist showed her all the gadgets and she laid right back to have her teeth cleaned. It helped that there was a TV on the ceiling. The dentist said her teeth are healthy. Our only concern is the thumbsucking. We have a year to break the habit before the dentist steps. She left with lots of treats (stickers, balloon, bouncy ball), so overall it was a success.

Katelyn's 3rd and Ellie's 1st

Katelyn turned 3 and Ellie turned 1 the first week of June. I can't believe how fast the year went.

Sorry it's been a month

I'm tempted to take the blog down because I do an awful job of keeping it up. Here are a couple of pictures from vacation. I"m sure you all have all seen Judy's so you got some good ones. I think I need Allison to continue to hound me every couple of days so I post new pics. We are heading to DC tomorrow, so I'll try to post more when we get back.

These two are at the beach two weeks ago.

Pampering ourselves

Katelyn's new thing is to wrap her head up in a towel. Of course, the wet towel weighs as much as she does, so it falls off rather quickly, but we were able to get this photo before it fell over. I think it is rather cute.

We also went to a Memorial Day pool party. Ellie had a great time lounging in the pool.

Negligent in my picture posting

So May is always like this. I am going a mile a minute and haven't taken the time to post any pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have any spectacular ones to post. These are from Mother's Day weekend in Louisville at the Bibelhauser clans. There is also one of the girl swimming with Emily. Both girls LOVE the water. Can't wait for the beach. We also have a picture of 4 generations of Biblehauser/Coombs/Calhoun girls.

Weekend with the grandparents

Kit and Marilyn came in for the weekend. The kids had a blast. We went to the park and Katelyn searched for rocks in the creek. Ellie went for a mini hike in the back pack. There was also a kidfest at JCC. Katelyn loved jumping in the blowup bouncy thing and the petting zoo. Ellie was most content getting wet and splashing in the duck pond game.

Easter in Louisville

We went to Louisville last weekend for Easter. Katelyn had a ball searching for eggs. She particularly loved all the treats she got in her basket and from her loving aunts.

Look how big I am

Ellie is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. Look how proud she looks.

Amelia Island and other fun things

Here are some pictures from Amelia Island and other pics from mid/late March. Crazy Katelyn hair, Ellie and Scotty, etc.

Ellie is crawling everywhere and getting into Katelyn's stuff. She is even starting to pull up.

Ellie is crawling!!!

I don't have a picture because it is on little video, but here are some other pics from tonight and last night.

Bibelhauser Fest

We had winter/early spring Bibelhauser fest at our house this weekend. Mom, Sherry, Joyce and Allison came down to visit us. We had a very nice time. Katelyn loves all the attention she receives, and I love the extra hands they bring. Katelyn had her first experiences with geo-caching and loved opening the "treasures".

Katelyn's Princess Party

Katelyn was invited to a Princess Party for Iris' 3rd Birthday. All the little girls came in their princess attire. They colored princess pictures, made necklaces, painted their nails and made picture frames with gems on them. Overall, it was a very fun, cute time.

Snow Day

We had snow last Friday and Katelyn had a ball. She mainly just wanted to lay her face in it and eat it.

Ellie loves her veggies

Grandma Karen came for a visit last weekend with Aunt Sherry. Ellie is showing her pleasure with eating her veggies.

Sisters!!!!

Katelyn loves to play with Ellie. This evening she was particular sweet with her Baby Sister.
