Bonus Weekend at Snowbird

We were lucky enough to go to Snowbird one more time over Labor Day Weekend! It was just a bit cooler but absolutely beautiful. We were able to do so many things that we didn't do in July. We spent lots of time at the Center watching all the people who were there for Oktoberfest. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE THERE! We went on the Tram, the red one to be exact. Kailee had her heart set on riding the blue one, but ultimately it was the red one we ended up on. 2 year olds don't realize that they are both exactly the same once you get in... It was chilly at the top to everyone but me and Kailee. So beautiful! We hiked to the overlook. We saw 3 baby deer on the path RIGHT in front of us. So adorable! Kailee picked some flowers and said, "Muddow, I have a pwesent fo you." I was so touched that she picked flowers for me that I didn't bother telling her that it is a nature walk and we probably shouldn't pick them. Kailee was craving ice cream, so the next day we went back to the Ceneter and got ice cream cones. Kailee chose 'Banewa, the white one' Yum! We celebrated Uncle Larry's birthday and came home Monday night to get ready for work the next day. What a great weekend! Thanks Lindsie for letting us spend time up there!

Kailee's First Haircut (Aug. 15th 2009)

So Kailee had never had a haircut before, and it's finally starting to grow at a pace a little faster than a snail travels, so I thought I'd take her in for a haircut. She is so great to sit still while she gets her hair done every morning, so I just KNEW she'd do great. I had heard of this cute salon just for kids named "Cookie Cutters" and that sealed the deal! We had this big pep talk about how "Only special haircutting people can cut hair." (I would DIE if she cut her own hair...) Well she wanted them to wash her hair (which they charge extra for because most kids despise that part) She climbs up this fire truck and lays in it with her head in the sink while they use the most scrumptious shampoo and conditioner. (I swear I want some to use on her every day... I'm sure they do that on purpose.) Then with nice clean hair, she climbs into this fantastic pink hot rod and dons a penguin cape to get her hair trimmed. The personal TV in front of her is playing the Barbie movie she chose to watch. Less than 10 minutes later, her trim was complete! Leslie, her stylist, said that Kailee is the most well-behaved 2 yr old client she has ever had! Leslie put some mousse and a flipped pony in her hair and sprayed it to smell "like a cookie". Once she was done, Leslie told Kailee to look in the mirror to see what she thinks. Kailee smiled a big smile of approval and climbed out of her car. *Note: the pink car was strategically placed next to a wall of darling bows and headbands that cost a small fortune, but are very tempting for moms to look at while girlies get their hair cut.* Next stop? The fantastic slide and play area they provide for the kids to play on while you pay. On our way out, Kailee got a balloon with a sucker and cookie cutter attached at the bottom. All in all it was AWESOME! Before we were even out of the parking lot, Kailee told me TWICE that she had so much fun! I love her so much!

Snowbird, UT (July 4-11 2009)

We had an amazing time at Snowbird this year. When I told Kailee we were going, she asked if she could go swimming. I can't believe she remembers that from a year ago! She was only 1 1/2 last time we went! I swear she loves Snowbird and tells me all the time that she wants to go back. It was quite an eventful year this year! Rachel came up with Steph, Emily & Kale, and Taylor. She decided to stay the night and the others went home. On Thursday the 9th we all went to dinner at The Wildflower Ristarante to celebrate Lindsie and Grandpa Hal's birthdays. Kailee ordered her own dinner by herself (Spaghetti and a glass of milk) and we all placed guesses on what day Rachel would have her baby and how big she would be. At about 5:30 that following morning, her water broke. Lindsie took her to the hospital, and beautiful Baby Londyn was born on Friday the 10th! Thanks to Grandma Reva and Grandpa Hal (who celebrated his 80th Birthday while we were there!) for the opportunity to go, and thanks always to Lindsie for the amazing pictures! You Rock!

Early in the morning

This is the girls still in their jammies watching cartoons first thing in the morning. They both LOVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Kailee is such a good helper...

Kailee looks camouflage in her pink jammies in the pink chair in the pink room. WOW - that's a lot! (sexy hair!!!)

Please ignore the giant MESS in this video. I was cleaning out Kelsie's drawers for like the 50th time because she keeps outgrowing her clothes. Then Kailee did this...

Things she says...

Here's a few of my favorite things Kailee is saying right now...

She'll walk around with a pen and paper and say over and over again "Saturday, Monday".
Then if you ask her what she's doing she'll reply with "good".
She looked at Brittany's alarm clock the other day and said "thirty dollars". At least she knows they're numbers...

sexy outfit!

"Sexy outfit Kailee!!!"

"Loves, Loves"

Kels says "I get you"
