Happy Birthday Kami!!

Yesterday was my baby's 4th birthday. She has been counting down the day for weeks. She was so excited!! We got up early and opened presents.

Clothes for her doll "Jessica". She takes her doll with her EVERYWHERE we go.

The new Merliah barbie from Barbie and a Mermaid Tale 2.Books

New Barbie movie.

Tangled for her V-reader.

After presents we had pancakes complete with a birthday candle.

After breakfast she had fun playing with her presents.She had her books all lined up.

Jessica in her new clothes.

After Kami's favorite lunch (chicken nuggets and french fries) we were off to the pool. Months ago I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday and she said she wanted to go swimming at her favorite pool. Chris, Chantelle, Chelsea, Marianne, and Cory all joined us for an exhausting afternoon! The girls had so much fun and I think Kami had Ky take her down the slide like a hundred times! Chelsea had a ball too, she loves the water!
Here is Ky and Kami.

Kaite, she is such a fish and loves the water!Ash

They had so much fun! I felt like a giant blueberry in my suit, and Ky said at one point that I looked like a beached whale! I think I felt like it too!

Kami was so exhausted when we left!

Then we went back to my parent's for cupcakes and presents.

More books from Aunt Missy.

And Grandma

More barbies and doll accessories.Chris and Chantelle gave her a tea set, she spent all afternoon playing with it today. She really is all girl!

She wanted Mickey cupcakes, easy enough for me.

My little girl is such a sweetheart. She is so tender-hearted and nice. She loves everyone and loves to tell them so. She is going to be an awesome big sister. We love having her as part of our family she is so sweet and cute! This morning she woke up and told Ky "it's not my birthday anymore"! She had such a good day. I still can't believe she is 4, they grow up so fast!

Happy 4th Birthday baby girl!!

Easter

The girls were so excited for Easter this year. Kami kept telling everyone it was on her birthday! She also said the Easter bunny was going to bring her an orange telescope, she is so cute. On Friday we had Chris and Chantelle over to dye eggs.

Ash had this messy paint kit she used.

Silly Kyle!

Chantelle's eggs were all super cute!

Finished product.

Then we went out and dumped all the dye (yearly tradition) in the snow banks, thanks to the fact that it snowed that day, yuk! We also had our resurrection rolls, always a big hit.

Chris got dye all over himself.

Saturday we got up and went to the S&R egg hunt. Ky helped Kami this year since I am so big and can't move very fast! The snow was cold!!

The girls got tons of eggs and like 3 prizes each, Ash was hoping to win the bike.
Sunday they got up at 7:00 sharp. We had given them 30 minutes to find the eggs before they had to get ready for church. Funny story, they thought they were missing 1 egg but it turns out it was at the bottom of Kami's bucket the whole time!!!
Easter dresses.

Sunday night we had the missionaries over for dinner. They sure are a fun bunch, we have really enjoyed getting to know all of them with Ky's calling. We had a good dinner complete with strawberry tarts, so yummy. And Ash even got one of the missionaries to help her paint her nails!!

Sue & 33

Saturday the girls let me sleep in (one of my birthday requests)! Then they all made me pancakes with strawberries complete with candle wax! They were so cute, they had made me cards in secret. They were all so excited for my birthday, more than me! I wanted to see Sue, so we headed to town. Kaite was so cute she told everyone it was my birthday and that I was 33. The girls had so much fun at the museum, they were all over the place and we had to keep telling them to hold our hands. Saturday is definitely not the day to go, but was our only open day. They loved playing with all the hands on stuff. Friday Kami was so worried about going. She kept asking me if sue had "a tongue and skin". They had so much fun though. Ash was only like 9 months old last time Sue was here.

Our first visit to see Sue.

And now.

I took lots of picts.

Kaite has to touch EVERYTHING!

We had a fun time. Then we went to Red Robin for dinner. I love their stuffed mushrooms. Unfortunately, they don't serve them anymore, I was bummed. Ash took delight in telling our server it was my birthday and having them sing to me, so embarrassing! I had a good birthday with my kiddos and hubbie!
We also picked up the material for the crib bumper pad, I finally decided what I wanted.
The carpet for the basement is going in on the 16th. Chad measured it and it turns out the carpet place has exactly the amount we need in stock, so we don't have to order any!! We are cutting it close, Ky starts school the next day. We have to move everyone around, touch up some paint, then paint the baby's room and get it ready. There is still a lot to do!
