The Sweetest Thing

Perhaps one of the cutest moments lately with Kyle & Emily:  Emily reading a book to Kyle with him sitting in her lap!

Workin' hard or hardly workin'?

So happy together

Emily & Kyle are quite the duo. 

Emily loved pushing Kyle on the swing. 

Kyle too.  He wanted to give her an underdog!

Tandem bouncy ride.

This was the parking garage they built together while I showered!

Makin' coffee

Kyle and Emily LOVE to make coffee for Daddy.  Here's how you make a cup of coffee for Daddy, according to Kyle:

First, get up on the counter by the coffee maker (i.e., Daddy lifts you up)

Next you select your coffee pod.

Then you place your pod into the coffee maker.

Close it, press the button and VOILA you have coffee! 

Grocery ballerina

We had movie night on Friday at home. We talked about going to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but Kyle wasn't in the mood for a movie theater, let alone a movie. But before the home movie (The Incredibles), we had to get some movie treats so Emily and I rode over to the grocery and she was a great helper!

She LOVED pushing her little shopping cart with all our groceries. And in the midst of it all, she said she was just like a princess doing grocery shopping.  I'm not sure a princess would actually do grocery shopping, but hey, it's 2009!  And then she told me she was a grocery ballerina and showed me a releve in the middle of the store.  Notice her tippie toes in the picture below.

Oh and while we were there, John Denver's "Country Roads" came on.  She properly identified John Denver (I gave her a few choices of artists).  Go Emmy!! 

Marry me

So this weekend, Jeff and I went to Chryssi & David's FABULOUS wedding in Santa Barbara and the kids stayed home with Grandma & Bunky who came out & down for the occasion. They had an absolute blast with them going to the zoo, Seaport Village, Coronado beach, Corvette Diner, Fish Market, Swing park and more.  Grandma sure kept them busy!!!  Grandma you are AWESOME!

So tonight, we were talking about the wedding and telling the kids about the next wedding and how they were going to go to this next wedding and had some very interesting conversations. 

Mommy: You guys are gonna go to Karen & Pop Pete's wedding soon!

Kyle: I'm gonna be bear rings!!  And I'm gonna run super really fast for them!

Emily: And I'm gonna wear my beautiful princess dress and twirl and be a flower girl!

Kyle: And I'm gonna get married at Karen & Pop Pete's wedding!

Mommy: Who are you going to marry at Karen & Pop Pete's wedding?

Kyle: I'm gonna marry you and Daddy!

And later at dinner tonight we were talking about it again and I was telling Jeff about this conversation...

Kyle: I'm gonna get married at the Sears Tower too like you Mommy!

Mommy:  How fun!

Kyle: And I'm gonna get married at Karen & Pop Pete's wedding!

Mommy:  Who are you going to marry Kyle?

Kyle: I'm gonna marry you guys!  Mommy, Daddy & Emily!

Emily: And I'm gonna marry you, Daddy!

Daddy: How sweet Emily!

Emily: Daddy, can you marry me?

Daddy: Of course!

Kyle: I'm gonna marry Mommy & Emily!  Mommy, can you marry me?

Mommy: Kyle you're a sweet boy!  Of course I'll marry you Kyle!

It was so sweet to be proposed to by our little babies!  Such little sweetie pies!

Grandma's visit

Kyle & Emily had a fantastic time with Grandma when she came to San Diego for a visit and to stay with them while Jeff and I went to Chryssi & David's amazing wedding. Mom's friend from Nursing School came down from Sacramento to visit as well then.

Buckle your seatbelt Grandma!

And nothing like wearing Grandma's shoes!
