Template/Background Change

Does anyone know how to change the background? I tried to change it and it just changed the background at the top where it says The Papa's.

I wanted to change the whole background, which I believe might be called the template.

Can anyone tell me how?

Disneyland Characters

We went with my sis and her kids to Disneyland today and had breakfast while Disney characters visited us. Kylie loved it. She meet Chip, Dale, Alice in Wonderland, Max (Goofy's son), Eeyore, Capt'n Hook, and Minnie Mouse. We took pictures and I bought an autograph book for Kylie so all the characters could sign it. The only character she was not too fond of was Capt'n Hook. She liked him from afar, but not up close.

She was given a balloon and was in heaven. I think this is the very first time I've ever let her have a balloon tied around her wrist. I have a fear of the balloon popping and her choking on the pieces. I know it's a bit over-protective and crazy, but I can't help it, I just have that fear. I feel the same way about hard candies and choking too. Anyway, Kylie had a blast with her balloon. It got pretty annoying though. For those of you that pay money for balloons, I hope I don't offend, but why do people pay for balloons that just end up on your stroller handle and get in the way? It was knocking me in the head and was making it hard to fit through narrow spaces in the crowd. I finally deflated it.



After the wonderful breakfast, we went on a few rides. After we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride we saw Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger. We stood in line and Kylie liked seeing them. She loves Pooh. She brought home a stuffed Pooh. I usually don't buy her things at Disneyland because it's pretty expensive, but made the exception today. When we got home, she put Pooh in her booster seat and fed him crackers. She is so happy to have him.
Gavin was a trooper today. He's sick with a runny nose and eye infection (I know, I'm horrible for taking him out) however today was so much easier than the past three days of sickness at home. At home he won't nap or sleep at all because he can't breath through his nose. He just wants to be held and is so heavy that my arm is ready to fall off after a few minutes. Anyway, I think because we were constantly moving and he was in the baby bjorn a good amount of time, it helped him sleep. He was a champ and didn't give me any trouble at all. It was nice to have the help of Sherrilynne and her girls too.

Kylie & Daddy's Day

Kylie went to a car show with Ty & then they went on a bike ride and brought back flowers for me! Kylie loves going on adventures with her daddy.







Northern California



We went to Northern Cali a few weeks ago to visit Ty's family. Kylie loved playing dress up and hanging out with her Papa cousins. Lots of fun girls!! Notice her "showing her teeth" to the camera! Both Kylie & Gavin were great traveler's.

Fun Moments

Tonight Kylie was drawing on her magna doodle and drew a picture of Jesus. As she was drawing, she was telling us what she was drawing each moment. She drew the head, the eyes, the feet (where the chin is), the ears, and the beard. Tyrus then asked her to draw a picture of mommy and so she proceeded in the same manner. She drew my head, eyes, feet, ears, and a beard. It was great. We asked her to show us what a beard was and she just kept pointing to her drawing. At least she doesn't think I have a real beard:-)
It was now time for Kylie to say her prayers and she was repeating what I was telling her to say. Each sentence it got harder for me to control my laughter though because she was talking in this hilarious high pitched voice. She has always had a little bit deeper of a voice, but lately has been talking very high in a cute pitch that just cracks me up.

This morning she was sitting in my bed next to Gavin and said: "This is my brother Gavin. His name is Gray Papa."

Gavin is now at the stage where he is learning to spit and blow tiny bubbles that just sit on his lips. We've also got a few giggles out of him. He is also very content to lie on his back and hold his feet in the air. He gets so excited when Kylie walks into the room and loves it when she plays with him.

All Decked Out


Kylie is wearing her Mickey Mouse hat, her doggie backpack, binoculars, and mittens. She is ready to go to Disneyland.

Update on K&G

I love the Leap Frog Letter Factory and Word Factory. I bought the letter one for Kylie about 2 months ago and she loves it. Better yet though, she can tell me each letter of the alphabet and what the letter says/sounds like. It is so fun to watch her learn new things. The word one is rad too. I love the things she is saying at this age. It just cracks me up sometimes.
Kylie is a sweet sweet girl. Out of nowhere she'll come up to me and say "I love you mommy" and it just melts my heart. She gives me lots of hugs and kisses and absolutely adores Gavin. She is such a big fan of him and so cute with him. He gets lots of hugs and kisses too.

Gavin's most exciting new adventure is that he can roll from his tummy to his back. He has hated tummy time the past 4 months, yet the past few weeks has actually hung out on his tummy for more than 30 seconds before crying. Now I can get a full 5 minutes or so with him actually holding his head up and looking around. He doesn't relax his head to the side and lay it down though. To relax he still puts his head straight into the ground.
He smiles a lot and is making tons of cooing noises. He is a mighty high screamer too. I don't know where it came from, but this little guy has a high scream that can either annoy or make one laugh!
