Favorite Memories:
Kyleigh’s favorite memory- when Kelly spent all day with me
until when we had to go. That day I called her a hug monster because she would
hug me and love on me, and I got all the attention lol!
Grandma and Grandpa’s favorite memories-
calls Grandma
“Princess Grandma”
When we watched the kids for the first time Mommy left us a
list of TV channels they could watch.
Grandpa was watching something not on the list and Kelly came up with
the piece of paper and said, “You just don’t get it! (Holding the paper up with
the channels on it) These are the channels I am supposed to be watching!”
Always asks Grandma to come live with her
Daddy’s favorite memory- Austin was talking to Grandma on
the phone about when she was coming over next, trying to get her to come and
see her sooner, and said his first curse word, bull sh*t. Grandma said she didn't understand what he had
said so Kelly came over to the phone and said, “He said bull sh*t Grandma!” It
was so hard not to laugh!
Mommy’s favorite memories- I love nap time with her. Since she is in school I only get to nap with
her on the weekends and I love and cherish the one on one and cuddle time with
her.
She was so confident and excited about her first day of
school. I felt so much better about leaving her because she was so happy and
proud of herself. I was so proud, and a
little sad, of what a big girl she was. I
have loved hearing about all her friends at school every day.
Watching her grow into the lovely young lady that she is
becoming is such a pleasure and I am so proud of her. I am beyond blessed to be the Mommy of such a
great little girl!
We celebrated her birthday with her classmates at school today
and brought in cupcakes. Daddy surprised her and came with us.
Happy Birthday baby girl! We love you bunches!
