Toddler Apps

We just gave Kaylee an early birthday present, her own tablet! Kaylee has been obsessed with our iPad since we got it last summer. So obsessed that we don't even get to use it much. Eric thought we should just get Kaylee her own tablet (something much cheaper) so she can play and we can play too. So after some research, we got her a Kindle Fire HD. 

Clearly she loves it! Kaylee calls it "Pink iPad!"

Anyone know of the best toddler apps for the Kindle Fire HD? I have already downloaded a bunch of free ones, but I figure there may be some I don't know about. Please comment and let me know of some great apps for my almost 2 year old. Thanks!

School is Out!

School is officially our for the summer! This means I will have free time to blog for the next two months! My goal is to blog twice a week- one blog family related and one school related. So excited to be a SAHM for 8 weeks. Kaylee and I have lots of fun in store for us!

Had fun at opening weekend last Saturday!

Kaylee and I will be spending tons of time at our neighborhood gym's outdoor splash pool. They have summer memberships so we jumped on that so I can work out in air conditioning, and we can swim!

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone!

Wednesday Loves

I'm Loving Sammie, my sister and brother-in-law's new puppy girl. She is just precious. Kaylee, Eric, and I have enjoyed spending a little time with her this past week.

 

I'm Loving our front yard. We spent most of Saturday putting in new mulch, new plants, and new flowers!

I'm Loving that Saturday is the hubby's birthday. Kaylee and I are excited to spend the day together with him and lunch with fam!

I'm Loving that this is my second blog post of the week, maybe I am getting back in the groove??

What are ya'll loving this week?

Spring Break Fun!

Spring Break has already come and gone for us here in TN land! Kaylee and I enjoyed every minute we got to spend together during the break. We played tons at the park, went to the lake, hit up story time at the library, had a picnic with friends, shopped, had some ice cream dates, and just relaxed :) 

K-Bug loves her some strawberries!                       

I love the one on one time that I get to spend with my girl. She turned 21 months over break. Getting close to the big 2!

She can now say a few sentences like "I got it" and "I did it." Kaylee loves to say please and thank you and she learns a new word each day. She is currently obsessed with her bunny that she got for last Easter. Bunny goes everywhere Kaylee goes. Bunny even made it into her Easter picture! 

                                      

Kaylee is super brave. She loved sitting high up in the tree at the lake. She is starting to try things more on her own without me holding her hand or helping her.

                                    

Here's to the last nine weeks flying by so my sweet girl and I can enjoy our summer fun time together!

Yo Gabba Fun!!!

Ready for her first Orpheum Experience!

Kaylee and I saw Yo Gabba Gabba Live last weekend and she had the time of her life!! I never thought that I would enjoy it as much as I did. I was so happy watching her be happy :) 

                                          

Kaylee sang and danced along to most of the songs. Her expressions were priceless :)

                                                   

She even kept hugging me b/c she was so happy that we were there :)

My girl is getting so big, I love being able to semi-have conversations now. Motherhood just keeps getting better!

Love!

Kaylee and I spent some of the afternoon at the park being silly together. She is at such a fun age :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Grandaddy :)
