3rd Birthday!!

Yesterday was Kiley's 3rd birthday!! WOW that went incredibly too fast.   We had a night full of Kiley's favorites! She had a great day and night (and also had a sugar high!) 

Crazy how time flies!

Surprise Breakfast treat..a Casey's donut! (One of her favorite things!)

Outside play time with her daycare buddies!

A hoho for snack! (See all the sugar consumed?!)

A much needed nap for the bday girl 

Dinner of her choice...Chick-fil-a! (A toss up for her between that and McDonald's-lol!)

Some target shopping!

And of course a carousel ride on her favorite..the zebra!!

And birthday dessert at Orange Leaf! (Yum! She still has a birthday cake to enjoy this weekend!) (see what I mean about SUGAR HIGH!) 

Opening and trying out her present from mommy and daddy!

{more pics to come from her birthday month of celebrations!}

Last week K woke up quite crabby from her nap and wanted to keep to herself during snack time 

This was her attempt of keeping her daycare friends out of her castle- lol!

And she got quite angry I was trying to take her picture! 

Shopping diva

K loved the shoe room at Von Maur 

She did her best trying to find the best matches! Lol!

We might be in trouble when she gets older! ;)

Another night at the ball park!

Last weekend we headed up for another Friday night at the ball park in Cedar Rapids.  It was a beautiful and cool night and we had so much fun again!

She LOVED the blow up stuff!  I adore this pictures of her and daddy- the excitement in her face says it all!

She did attempt the slide herself a few times- but she had troubles getting the mat down and getting on it to ride it down. Luckily there was another dad up there to help her out! 

Coming out of the obstacle course!

4th of July

The 4th of July was always one of my favorite holidays, I hope Kiley loves its I always did and still do! 

We had a pretty simple day but fun! 

Started out with a very long and hot, but FUN parade.  Before we left Kiley did some modeling pictures outside,

{modeling her fun "sparklers" we made out of pipe cleaners!}

{had to show off the back of her cute little romper!}

 

{waiting for the parade to start}

{little model girl! Lol! It was hot and we were still waiting }

{cooling off with a freeze pop from the parade}

Next we went home and played with daddy outside in the slip and slide! 

Then we  headed over to a friends for a grill out and watch fireworks. 

How she watched fireworks (swinging and covering her ears) in her defense they were setting off their own so they were right in front of her and were very loud! 

An she finally decided to be brave enough for sparklers!!! 

She will be 3 in exactly one month, yet she loves to do this!

Crazy girl!

The weekend

Friday night was free family fun night at the mall! It's always crazy busy, but Kiley and I ventured for about 45 minutes.  Can't beat a free carousel ride for the girl who loves them!  Plus a free kids meal at Chick-fil-a, her favorite(probably thanks to uncle John). 

Yum! She always gets the same thing everytime we go!

"Nastics" (gymnastics) was there! They had a cute little obstacle set up for the kids!

She loved it!

And a carousel ride before we headed home!

Got the carpets cleaned so everything came out of kileys room , while i moved stuff out she kept saying to me "oh my goshhh" "oh my goshhh" 

Obsessed with wearing her Minnie swim ring from "go"

We took her to see monsters university Saturday afternoon.  It was so cute and funny!  The popcorn we got was almost as big as her!

Daddy got K a slip and slide so we had to try it out!

Then we took a family walk, dogs and all! Stopped by a park then came home.  

Then Kiley and I headed back to the same park and met to play with Ella and her mommy!
