Bath Time!!!

Well everyone says that Kaili is a daddy's girl, and I can say she is a girl after my own heart. When you have a piece of cake in front of you, why waste your time with the the stuff that just crumbles apart and is of no substinance...go straight for the sticky sweet stuff on top!

And when the frosting is gone......?

One of Kaili's favorite things to do, is just being outdoors. And when it is 95 plus out, (for over a month now) she gets to enjoy her other favorite thing...water. We bought this pool last summer at a yard sale for $5. I think we may have paid about .75 cents more than what it was worth, but I guess you need to sacrifice for your kids!

One of our dogs also loves water. Bindi will chase and bite the water coming out of the sprinkler for what seems like hours. So when Kaili is in her pool spashing about, Bindi is right next to the pool trying to catch and bite all of Kaili's splashes. Kaili gets the biggest kick out that. I wonder if Kaili somehow feels like she has control over Bindi, being able to make Bindi jump and go wild every time she spashes. After Kaili has gone down the slide several times, and has played with Bindi for a while, she will take one of her little buckets and water her plastic flowers (in the picture above), certain she is helping them grow. I think she was a fish born on land.

This marks our first full day of vacation in Branson, MO. We went to Celebration City and White Water themes parks which kept us busy although luckily we all avoided getting burned. Kaili did a great job with everything from sleeping, traveling, eating and missing naps. We couldn't have asked for anymore on our vacation as she came through with shining colors.


Kaili got to ride on her first ride all by herself at Celebration City which as a "Tea Cup" type of ride where little cars spin around. She was apprehensive at first but by the end of the ride she didn't want to get off.



While we were visiting Silver Dollar City, Kaili got to try out her clowning genes that her grandparents gave her. Have you ever seen a cuter clown?

She's the queen of the forest. We're not quite sure what is going through her head at this time. Maybe she's wondering why mom and dad keep putting her head through these holes and taking pictures. The only thing we are sure of is that she did a purr-fect job of looking confused!

Does this girl know her fashion or what? Actually she can just make anything cute!

Kaili is taking up a new hobby... against mom's will. She seems to have the same love for adrenalin that dad has.

Kaili has a thing for pasta and needless to say when it comes to spaghetti she can go a bit crazy. There are normall noodles and sauce in her hair, ears and anywhere else that gets in her way.


We can't help but smile with her infectious smile and laughter. It makes even the tedious clean up afterward worth it.

Kaili with her big smile!
