Kai Turns Five


Kai Cassidy
"Big Sweetus"
Can she really be 5?
Kai turned 5 and she was ready. She counted down the days for - ev - er. I keep thinking, "How can she already be five? She was my sweet little angel baby with black, curly hair. Now she is this smiley, silly, stretched out little girl with blond hair and an irrepressible sense of enthusiasm for EVERYTHING!"
Alas it is true. Kindergarten and tween angst looms largely in the distance. For now a "dirt cake" made of Crushed Cookies, Chocolate Pudding and Gummy Bugs is the light of her life

(Besides her Dad) - But soon, many other things will be sparking one of her patented bursts of excitement.
She has changed so much in the last year. She's grown at least a foot; she loves riding her bike, scooter and other things at mach 10 all while wearing a "fancy" skirt; she loves playing sports, including pushing Cody's buttons, but lacks the grace that her mom had (Ha!); ballet and violin round out the list but most of all she loves her brothers and sister who is currently "en route". I swear she thinks that baby #5 is her own special present that we decided to give her.
We love her too. She brings so much love and laughter into our house. She is definitely a dreamer - Last year she reminded me that we needed at least 3 more cars for when she and the twins turn 16. Yikes! Dream on, Kai.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Thanks everyone for all the lovely presents. She loves them all!

Happy Easter :)


Happy Easter everyone. It was a beautiful day in our neck of the woods. I hope it was where you were too. Sorry to hear about the earthquake in Mexico and Southern California. Seems like the earth is shifting a lot recently. I finally made an Easter Dress for Kai. It isn't as fancy as the ones I've seen in the store and it probably cost more money to make, but I did it! Yay.






















We got to go to an Easter Egg Hunt in our Neighborhood. The twins discovered treats! They like chocolate a lot.
On Sunday we went to Brett's parents house and had a great time with family. Cousins are big to our kids. They never miss an opportunity to spend with their cousins.
We had fun and played a little baseball.
We did watch most of General Conference, but really it was hard for me to hear anything being said. Its just that stage of our lives. But I thought it was a beautiful Easter weekend. Brett was out of town and we missed him a lot. Hopefully he'll get home safe tomorrow.
We hope you are all happy and safe. Love you much!
