Summer 2019

Kaylee broke her tooth while riding her bike.  She was so sad and for weeks afterwards anytime anything was by her face she cried because she said she was protecting her teeth :(

All dressed up and ready to go explore Marsing with Grandad!

Kaylee wanted to help Daddy fix the lawn mower

Kaylee is a little fish this year.  At the beginning of summer, she jumped in the pool without anyone noticing.  We thought she was going to drown, but she kicked her legs so hard and fast that she kept her face out of the water until help arrived.  We were impressed, but scared.  She was quickly taught the rules of the pool.  A stark contrast from last year when she was too scared to even go in the pool.

Anna, Elsa and Belle came to Daddy's summer work party.  She loved looking at them, but they were a little scary to approach and talk to.  Eventually she settled with no talking and just a picture :)

Backlog: Trip to the Temple April 2019

Kaylee is obsessed with the temple and getting married in the temple.  We decided to take her on a Sunday (mostly so she wouldn't go running inside and disturb the patrons).  As soon as we got to the Meridian, Idaho temple she ran to the doors and tried to open them.  When she discovered they were locked she cried for at least 20 minutes because she couldn't go inside and marry Daddy.  This girl is just in love with her Daddy, he can do no wrong :)  Eventually, she let us walk around the temple and take a few pictures, but she still brings up the fact that she couldn't go inside yet.

Backlog: Daddy Daughter Dance

Every year, our town of Kuna holds a Daddy Daughter Dance as a fundraiser.  Kaylee had been looking forward to it for months and would ask every day whether it was "today" or not.  Finally the day arrived.  She was so excited.  Tyler bought her flowers (which she wanted to carry around with her all night--she said they were her wedding flowers and that she and Daddy were getting married).  Her favorite parts were: 1) Her wedding flowers, 2) She got to wear her Cinderella dress and a dress up cape, 3) Krispy Kreme doughnuts, 4) There were other girls dressed as princesses.

Backlog: My Birthday

For my birthday I was sick with morning sickness.  I didn't want to do anything and Tyler, as a surprise, had taken the day off.  So we decided to do something low key that would entertain Kaylee without me having to chase her all over.  We went to the "Children's Museum".  Don't ask me why it's called the Children's Museum when it's just a bunch of rooms with themes and toys.  But, she had a blast and decided that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

Backlog: Kaylee is 3!

Kaylee turned 3!  Yay!  She told me for over a year that she wanted a dinosaur princess birthday party.  Then, the week before her birthday she changed her mind and decided she wanted a Cinderella birthday.  Thank goodness I hadn't gotten anything dinosaur for her birthday.  She wanted the whole kit and kaboodle--Cinderella hair, cake, everything.  Good thing her Nana knew what she liked and got her a Cinderella dress as her birthday present.  She was in heaven!

Cinderella Hair!

Crashing Mom and Dad's date night the day before her birthday, she got a free ice cream!

Yes, she dresses herself now and attempts to do her hair :)

Backlog: Christmas 2018

I am trying to catch up on posts I should have done a long time ago.  This is from Christmas 2018.  Kaylee was so excited about re-enacting the nativity scene at Grandma and Grandpa Monson.  She got to be Mary.  Max Rambo, her cousin was pretty funny.  He had watched a lot of the living scriptures videos and he wanted to be Herod.  So started talking in his scariest voice and said Herod's part from the movie almost word for word!
