Go little Princess!!

Here's Princess Kai on her new Princess bike! Thanks to the Shiepis Family :) Every night Kailey wants to take a bike ride up and down our street! Her favorite part is the HORN :) Go figure - it's loud and definitely grabs your attention.

Go Kiks GO!!!

Off to SCHOOL!

Here's Kai all sparkled up for preschool! She's our little 'cutie batoodie' and is doing really well at LLC. Kai is learning the sounds of her letters and does quite well! Each week she has homework: we look through magazines and pick out pictures that start with the 'letter of the week'. We are on LETTER E (for Erika as little Miss Kailey says).

Kohlston looks kinda sad that his sissy is leaving :(

Kissel time :) Awwwwwwwwwww

Soccer Star!

Kai just started soccer at our YMCA with her b/f Brianna! This first pic is from her VERY FIRST practice at our neighborhood park. She looks like a pro with her arm out :) Kailey did really well and we can't wait until her first game next Sat.!

Here she is trying on her brand new cleats :) Ball in hand of course and ready for the field!
Sat. was her first team practice. Coach Mike (no not Daddy) seemed to have all of the hyper little 3 year olds under control. We were impressed!
Can you see Kailey? Here they are playing red light, green light. Coach Mike would try to fool them with a few red lights in a row. It didn't take long for the kids to catch on.

Kai's jersey wasn't in yet - hopefully by her first game. Her team is the Panther's and they are purple.

Well, here she is back to her pretty, girly self :) She can't resist heals (any shoes for that matter) and a cute ruffle skirt! LOVE YOU BABE!

The Ladies :)

Lowry Park Zoo!

Yesterday Mommy & Ms. Debbi took Bree, Kohlston & me to the ZOO! We walked hand in hand and checked out all kinds of animals, rode horses & rides, shared snacks (grapes, graham crackers, goldfish & apple juice) and even played on the zoo playground. It was hot but boy did we have fun :) Here are a few shots of us throughout the beautiful afternoon.

Kohlston & Mommy petting the horses (little man wasn't quite sure what to think).

Here we are at the petting zoo brushing the goats. Kohlston saw a small black and white goat and pointed saying "Mooooooo"! :) :) He loves cows - we pull over to Moo at them everyday on the way home from the YMCA.

I love this one! Bree is hanging on the goat posing for this pic :) Too precious!

Kai, Bree (next to Kai up front - hidden in this photo), Kohlston & Mommy goinng on the Train Ride!

Tired girls - ready for a nap!

Oh! Maybe there is enough energy for one more pose :)

and a little dancing!

Luv you Bree! See you at school today :)

Sister & Brother

We've been waiting for the day that these two would become best buds and that day has finally come. Kailey now asks me to 'keep Kohlston up' so that she can play with him. She always wants to lead by example so he can watch her and learn. If he's throwing his food on the floor she will ask me to say 'Kohlston, watch sissy' - it's adorable! GOD luv these little bugs :) We are so blessed!

I love this facial expression!
Kohlston's like 'now what, Momma' - lol!

Willis Parkus

We love you little Willis Parkus! All of our thoughts and prayers go out to you and we hope your surgery goes well on Aug. 26th. Hang in there!

All our love,
Uncle Mikey, Auntie E, Kailey, Kohlston & Cuba

On this day....

On this day of Aug. 9th, 2010 may we remember Helmuth Katz Jr. (a.k.a. Grampa Bill). Kailey and Kohlston know that you are with us every single day in spirit. We talk about you often and cherish all of our wonderful memories with you. Especially our wedding day - April 22, 2005.

FATHER and SON

Yesterday we took a trip to the beach to spend the day with you. It was filled with joy knowing that you are with us whereever we may go.

FATHER and SON

Kohlston & Daddy

Little man and his mohawk!

Kohlston was so happy to be there with you!

Kailey fell asleep on the way and rested in the car for awhile.

Soon enough our little beauty woke up and joined us for a snack.

It was peaceful afternoon.

Sleepy bug wasn't really in the mood for pictures.

The 'pose'! :)

Little man - 13 months old!

Kohlston chasing birds!

We love and miss you Grampa Bill! You are forever in our HEARTS :)

On a happy note we also want to wish Peepaw (a.k.a. Grampa Reg) a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!! He's in Italy with Gigi Terry - We can't wait to see you next week!!!

Our 3 babes!

Here are a few random pictures we snapped of Kailey, Kohlston & Cuba hanging out around the house.

Miss Kailey Von - posing just as pretty as ever :)

Mr. Kohlston Von - growing like a WEED - he's gonna be a BIG boy :) He has 14 teeth and runs around the house like he owns it (guess he does)!
He's always Mr. Happy :) (except when Momma is out of his eye sight).

Mr. Cuba Von - just as handsome as ever. Can't believe he's already 5.5 years old. He's so wonderful with the babes :)

Lovebugs cuddling on the couch!

Awwwwwwwwwww!

Coobs sharing kissels :)
