Gulfarium

Kaylea has been very good lately so we decided to take her to the "fishy show" aka Gulfarium. Kaylea wanted to take Trinity her best friend/cousin. We had the best time. The girls minded and we didn't have to get on to them not the first time. We stay a night in a hotel so the girls could swim. They enjoyed the Gulfarium but I think they enjoyed the hotel swimming pool the most. We checked in after visiting the Gulfarium and the girls swam their hearts out. They were so tired. We got pizza dilvered to the hotel and the girls shortly passed out. We got up and went to the Ihop and ate Kaylea's favorite "Pancakes" and then came back to the hotel to swim so more. It was a short trip but nice.

My little Girl is growing up

Kaylea attends Kids Discovery for Pre-K and wrap around care. Last week they had their Pre-K Graduation. All the kids got to wear a cap and gown, received a certificate of completion and was presented with an award. Kaylea was presented with the "Best Sense of Humor" Award. The kids did a skit for the parents also. It was so funny to see all the kids on stage singing and doing hand motions as well as looking for their parents and grandparents in the crowd all at the same time.

We were all sitting waiting for the graduation to start and Kaylea's teacher came up to me and said Kaylea's dress broke (holter top dress) and asked if I could come fix it. I looked all in her classroom for something to hold her dress together. Of course there was no safety pins or anything like that to use..... so I found a bind clip hoping it would work . It held up thought the graduation and the skit. I was very suprised. I was just waiting for the binder clip to fall off and her boobies be exposed in front of all those people.

Sorry It's been a while

I know it been a along time since I posted anything. So here are some random pictures since I posted last.

Josh did have a job working out of town. This is Kaylea seeing her dad for the first time in 7 weeks. She knew that she was getting a suprize but had no idea it was going to be him. It was such a sweet moment. She had tears of joys. Everyone on the porch was crying.

My beautiful roses that we grew. I never thought I could grow roses.

Fall Festival

Kaylea's school hosted a fall festival. There were so many people there but she had fun.

Pumpkins

We finally found the time to crave the pumpkins 4 days before Halloween. Here's our pumpkin family.

I was trying to take some picture of the pumpkins without the flash so you could see them lite up. It didn't turn out like I thought but it looks pretty cool, almost 3d.

Pumpkin Patch Time

Their is a local church that sells pumpkins every year. Everyday when Kaylea and I pass it she asks me if its pumpkin patch time. I have to explain to her that pumpkins only grown in the late summer and fall. When it was finally pumpkin patch time I could no longer pass it without stopping. I could only get 1 picture she was to excited and running all over the place. She was so proud of the pumpkins she picked out. She picked 1 for her daddy, 1 for her mommy, 1 for herself and 1 baby one for princess.

After we got the pumpkins home she could not leave them alone. She would sit on them and carry the baby pumpkin around like it was her baby.

Horse Riding

Let me start off by saying I have not rode a horse in several years. Josh took Kaylea riding horses the weekend I went to the beach with the girls. Ever since then Kaylea has been begging to go horse riding again.... so we did. We had the best time. Josh and Kaylea rode together and I rode by myself. We rode through the woods and down the creek. Kaylea got to go swimming at the creek. She got a kick out of the horses walking down the creek she said 'they were swimming'. The horse that Josh and Kaylea was riding didn't like to be left by himself. So when we were getting read to leave the creek and headed back home, the leading horses started up the hill. Right before Josh was about to get on his horse....his horse just took off without them. I caught the horse and saved the day. Kaylea said I was her hero. Here is a few pictures of our trip.

Look at her in that buddy saddle... she even had her on stirrups. I thought that was so cute!

Kaylea about to get in that freezing cold water.... she loved it

After the trip. She was wore out.

Weekend with the Girls

My boss has a condo on the beach in Gulf Shores. He let us girls from the office stay this past weekend. Keep in mind Josh hasn't work and I was broke. I have been saving for several weeks now for the trip, then things would come up to where I would need some of that money that I've been saving. I ended up taking $40 and I came home with $7. So I spent $33 for a weekend at the beach. That's pretty good. This was the first time I've been away from Berrydale since the fire, besides Mobile when I visited LaJuan and her family. It was like I was a kid again.. I was so excited. We had a great time. We layed on the beach and around the pool all day Saturday and we even went to LuLu's (suppose to be a famous eating place in Gulf Shores). Here is some pictures from my trip.

Mom would appreciate this picture of the bird

This is Friday night when we got there. It was so windy from Hurricane Ike especially 20 stories up.

At Lulu's. It took us 2 hours getting dressed and we only stayed an hour. I think I had more fun getting dressed.
