Summer Fun

Kaylee's first time swimming...

Helping Dad get plants for the garden...

Visiting Cove Fort... thank goodness we don't have to travel this way!

Tulip Festival

These pictures were taken at Thanksgiving Points Tulip Festival back in May. We had so much fun watching Kaylee there that I really wanted to include the pictures.

Splashing in the fountain...

The secret garden...

So precious!

Kaylee loves being outside. She loves to play in the sand, twirl around in the grass, go for walks, watch any animal that is passing by and have picnics with Dad and Mom.

Blowing kisses to Daddy.

Primary Children's Hospital

We spent Kaylee's 16th month celebration in Primary Children's Hospital. It wasn't very fun to see our baby hooked up to an IV! Kaylee had a fever the night before and was having a hard time breathing. After taking her to the doctor for a check-up we were surprised to find out that she was anemic. They sent us right up to Primary's for blood transfusions. We were there from Tuesday to Saturday. During this time Kaylee had lots of blood work done for testing, 5 different IV's since her veins were so little and the blood kept clotting, they put her out to do a bone marrow biopsy (that at least ruled out leukemia and other not so fun blood disorders) and still never did find out a cause for the craziness. Kaylee was very brave in a very scary situation. She loved having visitors- especially the four legged ones that came to make her feel welcomed at the hospital. Last week we went back up for a check-up. She is starting to make her own blood, slowly but surely, so that is a very positive thing. We will do blood work every week until things are back to normal. We feel very blessed and are grateful to have our little Kaylee
doing better.

Kaylee's First Birthday!

The 16th of February was Kaylee's first birthday! What a fun day for us to celebrate our sweetheart! She helped make the cupcakes (okay so she chewed on the box and played with the measuring cups) then had a birthday lunch with cousins. She had her first cupcake. At first she wasn't quite sure what to do with it but then really had some fun. We can't believe it has already been a year. Kaylee has brought so much joy into our lives. We are grateful to have her!

Ice Castles in Midway

We took a Sunday drive up to Midway to see the ice castles. Kaylee didn't quite know what to think.
