7 Years ago today....

I can't believe my Little Miss Kaia turned 7 today. It was 7 years ago that I was having an emergency C-Section to have a little 5 lb 4 oz baby girl. I can't believe she's 7 already.
!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIKERS!!!!!

I always forget to turn the pictures. Sorry, you'll have to deal with it being sideways!

OK, so I absolutely HATE character clothes, shoes, anything! But, Kaia begged and begged for a Hannah Montana shirt, so she got one. She also ended up getting Hannah Montana sheets, pajamas, pencils and all sorts of stuff.

Rock Star Party

Kaia decided to have a Rock Star Birthday Party. She had 11 guests come to her party and they all had a blast! It was so much fun to watch them rock out with their fake guitars and microphones. They got to decorate a star, play 'Pin the Sunglasses on Hannah Montana,' get a tattoo and sing karaoke. She was able to choose 3 friends to have a sleepover after the party. It turned out to be a lot of fun!

More Sun Valley Picts

More pictures of our Sun Valley Trip. We forgot our camera the first time we went ice-skating. Robb had to send up a bunch of his employees from the Grand America to work because they were really busy. Luckily Nicole (a girl from Robb's work) took many pictures and sent them to us. Thanks Nicole!

First day of 1st Grade

My little Kaia started 1st grade today. She tested to be in the Advanced Reader Gifted and Talented Program and was accepted. She is going to a different school with a bunch of kids that don't know each other. She had a rough time this morning when we dropped her off. She cried and cried because she doesn't know a single person in her class. I hope that when I pick her up she will decide that this new school and new program will be fun. Once she gets the hang of all her new classmates she will be riding the bus!

LOCK YOUR DOORS ALWAYS!

I woke up the other morning to some crazy woman trying to get in my back sliding glass door at 8:45 in the morning. Luckily I had just let the cat in from outside and locked the door. The very nice policeman was able to get fingerprints from her trying to open the opposite side of the door (the piece of glass that doesn't move). They will be giving it to the detectives to see if it matches anyone in the system. So just a reminder...lock your doors even during the day. There are creepy people out there.

R & R in Sun Valley

We got to go to Sun Valley, Idaho for a little Rest and Relaxation, thanks to Robb's work. Everything from lodging, food & beverage and activities were all paid for. We had a great time riding bikes, playing tennis, golfing, eating, playing on the paddle boats, ice-skating and SO MUCH MORE. The girls got to attend a kids playschool/day camp where they went ice skating and did all sorts of fun things. We can't wait for the next R & R vacation to come!

The Ice Show

While we were in Sun Valley, we got to attend a dinner buffet and an ice show featuring Sasha Cohen, Olympic Silver Medalist! After the show we got to meet her and take a picture. Kaia was in HEAVEN! She was staying in Sun Valley the entire time we were there and we ended up seeing her quite a bit. It was a very neat experience.

The Big Wheel

When Robb and I were young, we both used to have Big Wheels. Mine was a Cabbage Patch Big Wheel and Robb's was a boy's one (not exactly sure what kind). Well, we both had this contraption that we'd hook the hose up to and drive our Big Wheels through and get all wet. It was all sorts of fun so guess what...Robb made a contraption just like the one he and I used to enjoy when we were little. We hooked it up last night and Kaia got to drive her Big Wheel (YES, they still have them and we bought Kaia a Barbie one) through it. I wish I was small enough to hop on hers and have a blast again. Tear!

I love my hubby...& milkshakes!

This post is for you babe...thanks so very much for going so late last night to buy me the milkshake I've been whining about for the last 4 nights. Just remember-chocolate, caramel MARSHMALLOW!!!! You're the best!

At least she pays attention!

Occasionally when our kids are leaving to go play with friends we will give them a friendly reminder not to smoke, don't do drugs, and don't drink. I know they are really young, but why not tell them now?! While we were getting ready to leave the house yesterday we were telling the dog 'bye' and Aisly bends down, pets her head and says, "DON'T DO DRUGS!" Apparently some things we say she pays attention to!

Diving Kitty

Kaia INSISTED I take a picture of her cat, Caesar. She laughed and laughed and kept telling me, "He's diving mom!"
