A Day at the Carnival

Aunt Karen took Kaylee to the PTO Carnival at West Noble a while ago. (Yes, I am way behind in my blogging - it was Marchish.) Here she is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Aunt Karen.



The carnival was tons of fun. Kaylee arrived home with a whole bag of loot and a wet sleeve. Something about a duck that tried to get away in the duck pond. You'll have to ask Aunt Karen if you want details.

Kaylee had so much fun that day. We were laying on the couch later that evening and Kaylee asked me where Aunt Karen was. I told her Aunt Karen was in her big girl bed sleeping and Kaylee should go sleep in her big girl bed too. It worked, so please back me up if she asks Aunt Karen.

I am a SLACKER...but Kaylee is not!

I have been a total slacker on making posts to Kaylee's blog. Blame it on being busy, too much quilting, whatever. Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on Kaylee's latest.

Kaylee walked 15 steps by herself yesterday with the encouragement of cousin Chad. No help, no walker, just 15 steps on her own. She continues to amaze me.

God is good. All the time.

Quilts for Christmas

Grandma Genny surprised the grandkids with quilts at Christmas. The girls received quilts that are six generations old. Here is a pic of us with our new 'old' quilts. They are absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much to Grandma Genny for such a thoughtful gift. I thought it was especially cool since I have recently taken up quilting. What a neat heirloom that I can one day pass on to Kaylee.

Echo Update

Kaylee had an echo cardiogram last week. We received the results earlier this week. She continues to have a small hole in her heart (VSD). It is not causing her any problems, so there is no action that needs taken at this time.

They would like her to have a follow-up echo in two years.

Another great report for our little fighter!

Just Call Her Picasso

Kaylee has found a new creative outlet...painting! The front of the frig is getting pretty full of her masterpieces.

Birthday Party!

Kaylee had a birthday party on Sunday in celebration of her 5th birthday. Of course, it was a princess party. I took on the task of baking her a Barbie cake. It didn't turn out too bad. It only took two trips to the grocery store and breaking Barbie's legs off.

After the cake was made, I asked Kaylee what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday. Yes, I know, this is something I should have never asked. It could have blown up in my face. Lucky for me she said she wanted a pink cake.

Here she is in all her glory with five candles blazing.
Kaylee was very excited about each present she opened. She wanted to hold everything up and get her picture taken.


Some of the pictures turned out better than others. I just love how she managed to cover almost her entire face.

Here she is all made up with the make-up kit from Shannon. By the way Shannon, have I thanked you yet? Wow! She is loving the glam look.

Kaylee's present from Mommy and Daddy was a trip to the water park in Shipshewana. As you can see from the pics below, she had a great time.
