Day One of 4th of July Weekend

I will be posting a lot of pictures with this post so beware. So to start off the weekend we dressed Kaylee in her sailor outfit. We didn't put her in her red white and blue yet because we didn't want it to get dirty and her not get to wear it to the Stadium of Fire. And then we headed to the booths on Center street. I have no picture of that, but it was way too hot for the three of us. But we did get some amazing cotton candy, some corn, and Kaylee's super cute fairy Halloween costume.

So we parked across the street from Brick Oven to walk to Stadium of Fire. We had to then walk to the stadium as you can see below.

This picture below is the stadium about when we got there.

 It wasn't long before the stadium looked like this.

Kaylee really enjoyed herself. I was a little worried about how she would handle this. She usually doesn't stay up this late and it's loud. So we got her ear plugs for the sound and she didn't seem to mind too much about the lateness.  She smiled, chatted with those around us and danced a whole lot. She stay awake for almost the whole entire event. 

Almost super cute until she flung her arms.

This year at Stadium of Fire David Archuleta and Brad Paisley came. It was way better than last year which was just boring and horrible. This year it was more patriotic, this music was upbeat, and its was just more enjoyable.  We sat by nice people who didn't mind Kaylee. Oh and I should say that we is Abe, my mom, my cousin Lindsey, and myself and of course Kaylee. Brad Paisley was just a lot of fun. I am really glad we went this year and I hope next year is good as well.

Now on to the fireworks. They were amazing this year. Who ever was in charge of coordinating the music with the fireworks did a fabulous job. The timing was prefect, the songs fit just right, and they were cool. They new songs with Katy Perry's "Firework" and also slowed things down with Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and classical music with the "Flight of the Bumblebee" and so much more. I was way impressed.  

 When the fireworks started she stopped dancing and started to zone, then she passed out.

This is Kaylee shortly before bedtime. Filmed by Alex Fisher.

Hey Steve, Check This Out....: Kaylee and the Godfather

This is from Abe's blog and I thought it was funny too so I thought I would put it on my blog as well.

Hey Steve, Check This Out....: Kaylee and the Godfather: " This was just one of those things you catch in the midst of a bunch of out of focus shots you take really fast to try and catch a good face..."

Teeth Brushing.

Just some picture of Miss Kaylee brushing her little teeth. And speaking of teeth, we think that Kaylee is getting another bottom tooth. I'm so glad that she teeths so well.

The Garden

So my family and I want to plant a garden this year. Partly to be self-sufficient and partly because it tastes good.  And after waiting for the snow to stop, removing some grass in a flower bed by the back porch, and tilling the ground we were finally able to plant our garden. We planted tomatoes, carrots, beets, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, two types of lettuce, spinach, bell pepper, radish, peas, yellow wax beans, potatoes, and onions. I may have forgotten something, but I'm not sure. Oh by the way this is all in my grandmother's backyard. I have no land whatsoever to plant anything. Now there were a few other things that we did plant that didn't make it and we hope to try them again next year.  

Things are growing in nicely

Now you can't just have vegetables that's just no fun. So when we were out and about looking for seeds we found this cute little peach tree that I just had to buy. I was so super excited about it. I hope that they taste good. And we also transplanted some raspberries in a different place than in the picture above. We did have some blueberry and strawberry plants, but they died before they were even planted. The stupid snow kept us from planting and things still died. Anyway I hope things continue to do well.

Crawling

Kaylee has been able to move around a room without trouble for some time now. It started with rolling. She would roll all over to the floor to get where she wanted. Then she moved to moving in this weird sitting position and could rotate in a circle and get in to even more places. Then she started pulling herself up to things and wanting to walk. She would always look so proud when she would stand up. Hardly at all this whole time has she shown interest in crawling, until recently. (She really bad wants to walk) And yesterday for the first time she crawled. It was fun to see but boy I'm just not ready for it. I'm just tired already thinking about running after her as she starts running and climbing and jumping.
