Kali's birthday

Kali's birthday was this last Sunday - the day before the first day of school! For the first time in - oh - 12 years - we had a "family" birthday party! Jason & Jolisa came over w/ the kids & we sang & had birthday cake! The girls decorated the cake with little supervision - I just showed them how to make different decorations and they went to town!


We all sang, Olivia was excited to blow out the candles, but didn't do it as fast as Kali!
(By the way - it will take her 3 years for her wish to come true, which was probably something along the lines of Hanna Montana clothes - and hopefully by then - she'll have outgrown that sassy fiesty little role model?)

NOW - for the birthday LOVE - 9 Reason Why I Love Kali!

1 - Her smile lights up the room! (First day of Kindergarten 5 years old!)

2 - When she's enjoying herself, everyone around her joins in!

3 - She's a HUGE helper with Brynn and Coby! And a WONDERFUL Loving big sister!



4 - She the best deep cleaner around! Give her a wipie and a dirty item and it will be sparkling brighter than new!
5 - Her laughter is contageous!

6 - She's an extremely tallented swimmer. So fun to watch!

7 - She can really get into character - she's always showing 110% emotions!

8 - She enjoys going to church - (sounds like a cop-out from the mother, but I can't think of anything more rewarding to a mother than a child who loves church!)

AND -----
9 - She's the only one of my kids who has been able to keep her bedroom 100% spotless clean for an entire month! WOOT WOOT! That's a HUGE accomplishment!

And some Coby candy! I LOVE the way a baby looks when she sleeps! She looks so cute in brown, too!
