The Fourth of July!!

We had a great fourth of July! The best part was the little cutie in her new dress. I was nervous in the morning because it looked like it was going to rain! Of course, nothing like Washington. We had the whole day planned. Church in the morning, nap time and lunch, then head out with the grandparents for a birthday/new fourth of July tradition dinner and then fireworks and the festival down in Tumwater at night. Yep that was the plan....did it turn out that way......of course not! :)

After church, nap time and lunch we met up with Bobbi and Marty (Isaiah's mom and dad) for our delicious all you can eat buffet dinner. Amazing! I love buffets. I love the deception that goes into them. Have you ever noticed how the plates are a bit smaller than normal. Of course you have to try everything right? So you go for seconds and thirds. You want to eat your money's worth.

Kaylee started the night in the high chair but ended up in a booster seat. My little baby isn't a baby anymore and it is hard to deal with.
Here she is rockin my shades.

I love this face. She is so cheesy!

Here is Isaiah getting ready to dig in. We piled up about three plates for our table and eat every last leg. So worth $14!!
Oh yes, and that is a hoodie in July! :(

She thought the legs were the coolest thing. Second best were the shell crackers. I'm going to invest in some of those just for her to play with.

She looked and then went in for the kill. She is a sea food lover like her parents. My hope is she will like sushi when she is older. I know its a stretch but Isaiah won't eat it so I am solo on that dish for now.

Here Kaylee is refusing to look at the camera.... like most shots I get the back of her head.

I even broke down and let Kaylee have a birthday treat. She picked out her own toppings in the dessert line. She chose vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, sprinkles, and a brownie on the side.
Talk about a sugar high after she finished a few bites.

After such a great meal we started to head down to the golf course where they were going to have the fireworks. This was about 8ish and we thought with the weather the way it was there wouldn't be as many people leaving the house. WRONG!! As we drove up the street and looked down into the valley it looked like every resident of Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater decide to head down there. We gestured to his parents who were following us to pull over at the grocery store. We contemplated our options....Go down and fight the crowd or go home, watch a movie and get some sleep....Four votes.....go home and sleep. So that was our night. We were all home and in bed before the first boom hit the ski.
Oh well.....Maybe next year :)

Swimming!!

Finally the weather was nice this week! We hit the pool a few times. Kaylee loves the water. She is going to be a fish like her mom! She started to jump off the step from Isaiah to me at the end of our swimming adventure last night. Once she was starting to shiver I took her out and warmed her up. She wanted nothing to do with that, she wanted back in the pool. Isaiah ended up taking her home because she wouldn't stay out of the pool.

EXTRAS....

My mom bought Kaylee this for her birthday last year and today was the first day she actually stacked it. She has played with the blocks from the day we unwrapped them but never in the way there were intended. Her little mind is advancing everyday. I don't think I can take enough pictures and video or her ever changing ways.

We took several videos this week too. The links are below. A few of them are of our little sparklers and pop-its. Another is of Kaylee at the table just talking away. She knows so many body parts. It looks like she is getting cues from someone but it's just her and I. I flipped the screen around on the camera so she could see herself so she is looking at herself on film and then pointing to the body part. So cute!

No really big adventures planned for this next week but I'm sure it will be fun!

Until next time.....
