Graduation from the Collier County Police Academy

Josh graduating


Kaylee was hillarious, she kept turing around and saying "dada" and pointing up to the front but she was quiet the entire ceremony.

Marco Island Police Department

Josh's cousin, Doug, came to support Josh. It meant a lot to see him there. Doug got the privilage to tazer Josh during his training. :)

Josh has been going through the academy to become an Auxillary Policeman for Marco Island. He just graduated from the academy and will start serving the community soon. We are so proud of him! I don't have any family pictures, but will have some soon. I was given speical permission from the doctor to attend the ceremony but was to staying sitting as much as possible. One of the other wives mother took some picutes of our family while I was sitting down.

First time fishing with daddy and mommy

She loves to fish. One of her favorite words is "fishhhh"


Daddy helping Kaylee

She caught a fish and she kept saying "fishhhh" and "fishhh wa wa" which means fish back in the water. She loved to catch the fish but didn't want to hurt them. Too cute.

We went to McDonalds afterwards to get an ice cream cone and play on the playgroud.

Kaylee's Big Girl Bed

Kaylee LOVES her big girl bed. We deceided to go ahead and turn it into her big girl bed because it was getting difficult for mommy to put her in her crib with her pregnant belly and daddy was gone more nights due to the Police Academy.

Yes, we let her jump in her bed, she has a blast.

We had a tough couple of nights but then she adjusted really well. It was hard on mommy's emotions walking out of the room while she was crying each night but I had to remind myself that is what I had to do to get her to go to sleep by herself, just like in the crib.

When she wakes up in the mornings or from nap time, she yells out for mommy and daddy and stays put in her bed until we come in and get her. She is a great little girl! She just melts our hearts! We are so blessed to have our little girl!

Special Gift from Papaw

Papaw sent Kaylee a special package. She was so thrilled to open the box. On the way up to our condo she kept saying, my present, my presnet. It was filled with yummy candies and gum, which she absolutely loved!

The biggest surprise was a book and a DVD of Papaw reading the different stories from the book. Every time she saw Papaw on the DVD she kept yelling "Hi, Papaw, Hi PaPaw" She loved getting to see Papaw's face and hearing his voice! Thank you Papaw for the special gift! She loved it!

Hogue family times from this summer

Kaylee LOVES to play hide and seek, her new favorite spot is under daddy and mommy's bed.

She's mimicking everything daddy does, she loves playing with him!

4th of July before heading to church and a party that night

Father's Day 2010

For Father's Day lunch we ended up going out with our friends from The Family Church. We had a great afternoon with the Hoskins, Nowlins and Khors families. Baby Luke was with us but somehow didn't make the picture. Then we headed to Josh's parent's house to celebrate Father's Day that night.
