Off we go....

We are all so excited for our BIG trip to Disney World tomorrow! We leave bright and early tomorrow morning (6am...yikes) and get to Orlando with a whole day to play and explore! I can't wait to meet all the Princesses, Mickey, Minnie, Peter Pan...all of them! I have decided I want to meet Princess Aurora first, although mom and dad keep telling me that we don't know who we will meet first.

We have lunch planned in Cinderella's castle where I will get to meet lots of princesses! We have another dinner with the Princesses planned and then I am going to Bippity Boppity Boutique to become a Princess. I am bringing my Cinderella costume for all the fun!

We will take lots of pictures and Blog once we get home!

A Question

"If Captain Hook did not have a hook and instead had a hand...would he be called Captain Hand?" That was something I asked mommy the other day.

Funny thing I said out of the blue...

"If I had a tree house I would be so happy. Think Daddy would build me a tree house?"

Mommy said "Good luck with that Kate...Daddy may pay someone to build you a tree house though."

Love,
Kate

"Mommy, is it okay if I say..."

"...shut the door?" - " yes Kate"
"...shut down?" - "yes Kate"
"...shut out?" - "yes Kate"
"...shut up?" - "no Kate"
"...oh my gosh?" - "yes Kate"
"...oh my goodness?" - "yes Kate"
"...oh my God?" - "no Kate"

...and it goes on and on and on!!! Just learning the rules and pushing my boundaries!
Love,
Kate

Holy Moly Fun!

A few weeks ago our neighbor behind us had a graduation party for their daughter and they invited us over to play on the AMAZING water slide. Mommy won the mommy of the year award and stripped down to her bathing suit in front of all the neighbor and party guests to take me down the coolest thing ever! Unfortunately, it was a once only thing....I guess mom was embarrassed or something as we flew through the air and then landed in a pool of water soaking us both. Silly mom!
Love,

I can not wait until I graduate...I want one of these!!

This was my favorite picture...

I really wish they would have ordered this one for me. It makes me laugh! I kept pulling my dress up over my head!

We have had so much fun because the Texas cousins have been in town the past few weeks and we have gotten to play and play! We play together every day, went to the zoo, the park, played and played and played! We even went to get our pictures taken together. Take a look!

More about the wiener party....

I almost forgot to mention some other really cool parts of our wiener party! Papa made 10 different types of sausages and wieners for appetizers. We got to try wieners from all over the world! It was so cool and yummy!

In addition to the wieners we decided to enhance the unhealthy party with a fry contest! We friend all kids of appetizers....the winners were Uncle Rob's fried artichokes and my fried mozzarella sticks! So YUMMY! We ate and ate so much we did not have room for our fried desserts (snickers and oreos)! We did however have room for snow cones! We even got to make the snow cones in the screened in room!
Love,
Kate

Here is what is left of the friend goodness (onion rings, artichokes, cheese, mozzarella sticks. mushrooms.....MMMmmmm)!!

And the Wiener is.....

This weekend we had a family Memorial Day weekend Wiener Party! It was SO MUCH FUN! Each family member (kiddos included) submitted their famous wiener toppings all on a hot dog! We had 14 entries in all and there were lots of YUMMY wieners! We had awards from best presentation, best overall wiener to worse wiener!

It was a blast and we hope to make it an annual tradition.....food contest that is. We may change up the type of food!
