Do I have that Look in my Eye?

This whole week Kaylan was really sick. Thursday Grandma Sherwood came over to visit her and while she was here she said "Kelly you better get some towels Kaylan has that look in her eye". Immediately after she said that she threw up. In the hours and days afterward Kaylan would come up to me and ask "Mom do I have that look in my eye?" It was so funny and cute.

No Fun like Snow Fun!

Last weekend we went and stayed in snowflake and then went and played in the snow up above Vernon on Saturday. On our way up to the mountain Kaylan asks " Mom who picks up all of this snow?" It was cute to see her brain trying to figure it out. One of the times down the run I decided I would jump on the tube with her. (not a good idea) We started heading in the totally wrong direction. We ended up both doing a full flip off the tube. Luckily we were both okay but unfortunately we didn't get it on film. Below is a picture of Grandpa sticking Kaylan's head in the snow. I don't know where Kaylan gets it from but she is the biggest tease. When she wouldn't stop throwing snow balls at everyone Grandpa decided to give her a little of her own medicine.

Pajama Party!

When we were in Snowflake the girls were so worn out from playing in the snow that they decided to have a pajama party. The party consisted of blankets, pillows, pajamas, fruit gushers and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Having a Swingin Day!

Poor Baxter he endures so much, including swinging with Mae in the back yard. He is the best little kitty and even though I complain about him and how messy he is, I really do enjoy having him around and obviously so does Kaylan.

Foolin Around!

Kaylan told her Daddy the other day when he woke up from sleeping after a 12 hour shift that "mom didn't play with me today, she didn't do a craft with me and she didn't even cuddle me". It made me feel so guilty that she felt that way. Sometimes it is really hard to balance time working and time playing with my baby. So Kaylan and I went to the back yard to play in the leaves. We had fun covering her up in leaves and throwing them at each other. In the end this is all that really matters, work will always wait but my baby doesn't stay 3 forever!

Butterflies!

For Christmas Kaylan received a Live Butterfly Tree House. She had a fun time watching her caterpillars go through the metamorphosis process. When they were finally butterflies she took them to preschool and let them go with her class. Below are the pictures of all the changes they went through. She misses them dearly and talks about them everyday.

Gingerbread House!

For Family Home Evening one week in December we made a gingerbread house. Kaylan had more fun eating the candy rather than decorating with it. It was fun to look at for a few weeks until I found a line of ants eating on it. So I threw it in the garbage. You would have thought I threw away a million dollars. Kaylan was not happy with me at all that entire day.
