Two Hands

Kaylee turned six and we realized that she can no longer count her age on ONE hand, but it now takes TWO hands. That's a pretty big deal when you're little! Kaylee is really starting to grow up. In the past few months, she has learned to tie her shoelaces, ride her bike without training wheels, and read. So many milestones in such a short time! Kaylee LOVES school. She especially enjoys playing with friends, writing, reading, coloring, drawing, making crafts, swimming, and jumping on the trampoline.

On her birthday, Kaylee decided she wanted me to make her favorite pasta dish which amazingly is NOT macaroni and cheese. Yeah! She also wanted to go bowling, which was fun for about two frames and then it got a little crazy. It was Trace's first time bowling and he thought it was pretty fun initially, but didn't like to take turns too much. Needless to say, we didn't quite finish one game before having to head home...

On Saturday, Kaylee invited six of her girlfriends over for her Littlest Pet Shop party. The girls had a great time playing games, jumping on the trampoline, getting their faces painted, opening presents, and eating cake. Lots of fun memories made. The favorite game of the day was pin the tail on the monkey. Lots of giggling girls during that game! Especially as one of the girls pinned the tail on ME...

Kaylee's big gift this year was a Barbie Doll House. She started asking for one last year, so she was pretty thrilled to see it all setup in her room. I must admit that Kianna was pretty excited too! The benefits of having siblings close in age. Kaylee also got lots of craft projects, several new Barbies, and lots of money. She has her eye on a Nintendo DSi XL for Christmas, so is saving her money. We'll see what Christmas brings...
