Family Pics -- Kailey Shakespear Photography

Kailey Shakespear Photography is the only way to go. We love our family pictures. Here's 2 from behind and some from the front. Which do you like best?

Kelly was crying because she got hurt on the box she was standing on, so we all decided to cry.

Cute Princess Kelly!!!

totally random update

So it's been a long while since I last posted. So I'm going to put up a few recent pics. First is Kelly and Troy portrait--9mo pic for Troy.

Troy LOVES him some spaghetti!

In February, my bff took me to Vegas for my 30th birthday!!! We had SO MUCH FUN!!! We even got to rent a convertible and drove to LA with the top down freezing with 2 coats on the whole way! We spent 1 day at Knott's Berry Farm and I hadn't been there before. They had a western photo studio, so we totally had to partake. We had quite the wild time in Vegas meeting/seeing famous people like Elder Jeffrey R Holland to Paris Hilton's parents. Yep, we had a great time!!! I love the Bellagio buffet that Kailey swore by, now I swear by it too. I also loved seeing Phantom of the Opera, but I totally hated the Blue Man Group. It totally sucked!!! Kailey and I also had a blast going dancing one night. It was fun to feel young again. But we decided that we're definitely getting too old for roller coasters. Our necks were done with the thrashing around after 4 hours.

I need the rest of the pics off your phone Kailey! :)

Troy's for sale!

What an adorable Troy! No wonder he's priceless! Nope, I'm not taking any offers, but for some reason the people of Greenwood have some sneaky ideas!

Woodland Park Zoo Trip

We LOVE the zoo! Kelly and her preschool class had a family field trip to the zoo two weekends ago. We saw the new penguin exhibit, a baby snowleopard, and saw african dogs for the first time. We got to feed the parakeets again and Troy almost grabbed one!

What are you guys afraid of? It's just a birdseed stick! :)

Troy got to get in on the bird-feeding action!

A New Day

I can see clearly now the rain has gone... well, let up for today. I am making time to post pictures since it's been a long time and family may be interested!

New tricks: Troy began really crawling today!! He has been trying so hard over the past few weeks. He went from lunging and almost hopping like a frog to actually crawling! He is so proud of himself and excited at this whole new world that's opening up to him--little does he know that child locks are just a drawer away!

Kelly is really getting her letters down. I am so proud. She listens and learns better from pbskids.org than she does from me. Oh well. At least she's learning!

My blackmail Elton John Troy picture! Isn't he adorable?!! We were all cracking up, especially since he didn't even care that they were on his face.

Nothing like tasty feet to brighten your day!

What do I do next, Mom?

Troy, the next golfing phenomenon. I have a picture of Matt when he was a baby on a golf bag just like this, but my scanner program isn't downloaded to my new computer yet.

Alki Beach and Mariners Game

My parents finally came to visit for longer than a 24 hour period! We went to a Mariners' game one day, Alki Beach in West Seattle another day, and took a tour of the area we live in on Sunday. It was a lot of fun! We wished Cheechy could've been there with us too.

Troy cut a tooth over the weekend while in Spokompton, so he's been a little bit cranky. He is a big drooler now and tries to gnaw on anything that he can get his mouth close to. He's starting to grab things with his hands, he rolls over, he can almost sit up all by himself, he likes to stand with help at all times, and he LOVES his exersaucer. He still gives HUGE smiles and he prefers screaming over babbling.

Kelly is growing up so fast. She gets promoted to the pre-kindergarten room at her "school" in July. She is so close to learning what her letters look like. I have been really trying to work on it, but all she ever wants to do is play--mostly play Candyland. Which is fine with me, but I don't want her to be behind when she starts school. I'm sure as this next year progresses, she'll become more interested. Kelly is still a little princess, but she hasn't been putting on her dress every day. Her 4th birthday was this past Saturday! I'll have to make that post later.
