Favorites

At this moment I have no access to a camera.

So, I thought I would post some old favorites of

my little monkey for now.

This photo was taken by my mom

and is one of my absolute favorites.

It was within the first few days of when 

I adopted Kelsey.  

She just looks so sweet and innocent.

And I love the way the sun is shining on her.

Kelsey loves to nap on top of the couch, 

in the sunshine.

...especially if I open the window 

for some fresh smells.

sunbathing

Kelsey has spent so much time here

that the cushion has taken the shape of a bed.

My little monkey loves to explore 

outside on nice days.

Just her luck, it has been unusually warm.

When the sun is shining she loves to 

hunt lizards.

She even caught one a few weeks ago.

Kelsey dancing for a treat!

I love this one.

Kelsey & Simon

I love when Simon has one ear up 

and one ear down. Adorable.

 Kelsey is so focused on the camera.

Simon is apparently busy making a wish.

I LOVE this one.  

They are such great buddies.

very sweet

What a cutie pie!

Don't tell him I said that.

There's that ear again.

... and here is Simon's serious look.

He does it so well.

Simon actually went to the groomer's 

for a trim.

Someone needs to tell his Mommy that he looks so much better after a good trim.

Pupcake Time

Kelsey had an adorable pupcake 

for her 2nd birthday 

(from Le Woof dog bakery).

We LOVE those sprinkles.

 Kelsey was not sure if it was okay to dive in.

She asked for permission...what a sweetie.

 She tried to gently lick it.  

When it fell over, she just stared at me 

and waited for some direction.

But, I think she could have licked 

that frosting all day!

Awwww.....sweet Simon. 

Doesn't he look so cute in his party hat?

Apparently the party hat is just too heavy for Kelsey's little head (not). 

Hard work being a diva.

Can we say, "Cookies?!"

This year Kelsey gave out adorable heart-shaped cookies as her party favors 

(also from Le Woof).

She had white ones and pink ones and sprinkly ones.  Our favorite said "Paws & Licks" instead of hugs & kisses.

 Kelsey loved tearing into her birthday gift. 

She got a new stuffed, squeaky, puppy dog toy.

 And of course my little girl needs a nap 

after all this excitement.

Kelsey is Two!

Apologies in advance.  We did not have great weather for an outdoor party this year.  I had to do her pictures inside with what little light came through the window.

These are pictures of Kelsey and friends with her cake.  We will post some more party pics next time.

 This is Kelsey's way cute birthday cake.  

Love the fancy writing.

We got it from Le Woof Dog Bakery & Boutique.

 My good little monkey.

That cake was so tempting; but, she let me take some pictures first.

And that adorable hat was made just for her 

by her Grandma!

Kelsey had some decorations this year.  

She is not fond of balloons, but she did okay with them this time.

 If I smile really big can I eat it?

We caught Kelsey sampling the yummy frosting when she thought we weren't looking.

I let her have at it because she had been so good.

 That tongue says it all.

She loved her cake!

See that smudge on the bottom, right side of the cake-that's where she sampled it.

And here's Simon.  Look at that monster mouth trying to gulp up his cake in one bite.

This one cracks me up.  They were all beyond excited to dig into the cake.  They all went at it so fast.  I love how Kelsey has pushed her plate under Dixie and Simon was following right behind.
