Halloween 2011

We gathered at Uncle Jay and Aunt Tati's house for another Halloween celebration this year!

First off... fun with pictures!

We were REALLY scared!

Karly started the day off WAY excited, but when the time came to dress up, we didn't get real far... She didn't want to wear the hat or new boots with her Jessie costume. (Really hoping that she is just in a bad funk and gets out of it soon!) She only changed her mind about a hundred times of what she even wanted to be over the past few months...from a princess, to a pirate, to a skeleton, and finally committed to Jessie, from Toy Story, at the Halloween store.

Now Kynly on the other hand, didn't have much say in what she wanted to be (ha) so Karly and I came up with hers...Minnie Mouse.

And I'd have to say that she was the CUTEST Minnie Mouse I've ever seen.

We all had a blast taking pictures, hanging out, and trick-or-treating. Well the ones that didn't stay in to watch the Chiefs game, but not going to name any names...Uncle Jeff and Stephen.

Happy Halloween from the Beerbaur/Szymanski clan!

Pumpkin Patch

Our family went to the pumpkin patch again this year with some great friends that first introduced us to Carolyn's. This is one of the best pumpkin patches around! There is always so much to do and see! I'll let the pictures take you on our 4 hour adventure, ENJOY! : )

The petting zoo, well behind Kynly...neither girl wanted much to do with the goats.
Fun paintings to take your picture with...
Rubber tire horsey rides... Karly was not in the mood for pics that day!
All aboard the choo choo TRAIN!!
Finally, the hay ride out to pick the PERFECT pumpkin! And to snap a few family/friend pics!! (those don't come too easy these days)

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Fall Season! Love to all!

Tradition

Nana (Stephen's Mom) has a tradition with her grand babies and that is to take bath tub pics. And boy do they turn out OH so cute!!

Last night, we met for our Monday supper, and Kynly had her turn. Well...and Karly!!

...And a SURPRISE visitor!!

Not sure who had more fun! Life would be so boring without Daddy! ; )

Happy 1st Birthday Kynly Lynn!

My babies are now BOTH growing up TOO fast!! Kynly was officially "1" on Friday so we as a family and Grandma, took her out to dinner to celebrate. We decided to take her to the same place we took Karly for her 1st bday, Texas Roadhouse, for some good food, dancing, and a picture on the horsey saddle. Kynly LOVED to watch them dance and clap! Karly just LOVES eating their "biscuits" (rolls)!
Needless to say, I have two of the CUTEST cowgirls in town! : )


Then on Saturday, we PARTIED it up with more family and friends at our house!! It was a GREAT time! Kynly's bday theme was zebra print and pink to express the DIVA in her! And believe me, it fits so well! ; ) This year Mommy was just a little too busy to make the cupcakes and cake herself, but I did find the idea! And thanks to a good friend, Melissa, I got her cupcake toppers for FREE! They were all too perfect!

So with the zebra cake topper she went to town! Which I believe is what gave her the energy to last until 10 PM (only about 2 1/2 hours past her regular bed time)! Unlike her big sissa that wouldn't touch her cake with her fingers, Kynly dove right in!

She was quite LESS messy than I thought she would be though!

She started with her fingers...

But then thought maybe a fork would be best!

While the party was going on INside, we had a BOUNCE house party going on OUTside!

Not so much the ideal weather, rainy morning and in the high 60's, but thank goodness for the couple hours of sunshine so people of ALL ages (thought you'd love this one, Hollie) could get their "bounce on"!

Overall, it turned out to be the PERFECT day, for the PERFECT 1 year old, Kynly Lynn!!! Happy Birthday to a very special little lady! You are SO loved by all!XOXO Thanks to ALL the special family and friends that helped us celebrate her day! XOXO

You know its been too long...

When you don't even remember your password to update your blog! : ( And to look back and think I used to be soo good at this! Well this back-to-work Momma of 2 now has little to NO time at all to update my poor blog. So in another attempt to get it all done at once...Karly is doing well! Little Miss Smarty pants that's for sure. She now counts to 22, can identify almost 10 letters of the alphabet, and only talks like she's 30 or older. And for Miss Kynly...she is doing EVERYTHING!! She has been walking for about a month now, or shall we say running, she doesn't talk as much as her sister yet, but I'm sure that's soon to come! They LOVE playing and interacting with each other!! I think the best is when they're running around the house, chasing each other and they come around a corner at the same time. It's hysterical to hear them laugh!! Oh the joys of having a sister! Stephen's Mom took some updated photos for us and the girls last weekend, so those are the ones I'm going to share! Kynly's birthday is only in a few weeks, where in the heck does time goes, so there will def be more to come!! Hope all is well with your family!!

Much love to you ALL!! XOXO

Summer Time!

You'll have to forgive me for slacking on my blog again...but boy have we (the girls and I) been having a GREAT summer!! We've been trying to stay as busy as possible with going to the park, having play dates, going to Paradise Park, Max and Ruby at the Midland Theatre, the library, Deanna Rose Farmland, and playing outside. With Daddy working LONG hours, the girls and I are getting LOTS of QT and I have to admit (although at times, I might seem a little crazy) I am LOVING it!! Kynly is trying to walk and getting into everything!! She is starting babble all the time and making out some true words!! Karly started dance class and is loving it!! She also got her first "real" haircut. I know, she was due but I hated to cut it at all. Along the way, I haven't been the best about taking pictures, but here's what I've got thus far...

Karly holding Andy and Jackie's new little man Austin! He's too cute!


Max and Ruby at Midland Theatre - we all went!

Karly's 1st Haircut! She was such a BIG girl!!

The Final Product and one HAPPY little lady!! ; )

And Miss Kynly Lynn getting SO big too!

Hope you're enjoying your summer as well!! Much love to ALL!!
