Two Year Pics

Here are Two of the Six Poses we have from Carys' two-year pictures we had made for her at KiddieKandids. I love that place! She is such a big girl! (My favorite picture is on the right hand side of the page...)

Little Brother

Jordan, or as I affectionately call him, "Little Brother," graduated from High School! I am so proud of him and wish I could have been there! Now he is off to play golf at the University of Houston on a scholarship and will be living away from home for the first time. I can't believe how fast the time goes by! Congrats LB, I love you!

Just Had to Post

I had to post this picture because it is SO Carys! I took her out of the bathtub one day right after her birthday and was trying to dry her off and comb her hair, etc.. Not the most fun thing to attempt when 6 months pregnant and sick with a UTI on top of it..

Anyways, I took her in her room to get her diaper and clothes on and when I turned around to lay her down and start dressing her, she had disappeared! So I hurried to find her simply because she is diaperless running through my house... and I found she had jumped on her Tinkerbell four-wheeler butt naked and took off across the living room! So hilarious! I love the face and the slicked-back-biker-hair!

Carys is TWO!!

Carys turned 2 on June 3, and I can't believe how big she is now! I can still remember bringing her home from the hospital, trying to breastfeed, projectile vomit in my hair, eyes, and mouth, the first time she pooped on me, and so much more! Now she is a big girl that feeds herself, walks and talks constantly, and is very independent! Still working on the potty training thing though.. :)

Eating some yummy ice cream in her "Birthday Girl" shirt!

Playing with her dolly- she LOVES this thing! If any of you have a 2 year old girl, get her a Snap and Style doll with as many outfits as you can buy- SO CUTE!

Still brushing her hair...

Two new Disney/Pixar Movies: Cars and A Bugs Life.

And this is what she got from Rob and I: a tinkerbell four wheeler. SHE LOVES THIS THING!!! Its so cute! She doesn't quite know how to turn yet, so she constantly runs into things, but she just giggles and laughs while on it!

She also got a Radio Flyer Wagon complete with drink holders and a canopy from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Jeff, a Butterfly sandbox/sitting pool from Grandpa Craig - yet to be set up because it has rained for two weeks straight, and because of my hospital stays (to come in another post), a super cute Build-A-Bear named Candy that is pink, orange, and yellow multicolored from Pops and Candy, and an adorable American Girl BitsyBaby from Granny! This kid was a bit spoiled just from parents and grandparents!

GOING PRIVATE!!

We are making our blog private as soon as we can. So, if you are interested in still checking up on the Monsens, please send me your email address. If you're lucky, you'll get an invite!!!

Cool Pictures

I downloaded this new application for my iPhone called ColorSplash. It takes your pictures and turns them into black and white and then you can go back in and add the color back to only what you want to be colored. It makes for a pretty awesome and dramatic affect.. 

These pictures are at least 6 months old, but you get the jist of what the application does, regardless of how much Carys has grown since then!

Funny!

Some of you may have already seen this, but since my blog is for my friends and family in Texas who don't have the opportunity to watch our family grow, I thought I'd share with them since they deserve it- and its pretty funny!

A few weeks ago Carys woke up from her nap and wanted to watch TV for a few minutes, so I said okay and she climbed up on the couch. She asked to watch one of her princess movies, I can't remember which one, so I put it in and continued cleaning the kitchen. After a few minutes I went to check on her and I saw she was covering her eyes. She does this sometimes if she thinks something on the movie is scary. But I knew that the movie she was watching wasn't to any "evil witch" part, so I went to check on her.. 

SHE WAS ASLEEP!!!!! She just woke up from a 2 hour nap, but must have still been tired! This kid cracks me up! I can't wait to have her little sister here too and see what kind of crazy cute things they do!
