Starlight!

Friday night mommy & daddy took me to my very first musical "Cinderella"! It was really cool. We went to Starlight and watched it outside. We got there awhile before it started so we could walk around and see all the kid activities and then get some popcorn and get in our seats! The show was a bit different than the Disney movie, but that was okay. They still had Cinderella, the Prince, the stepmother and the stepsisters. Cinderella still lost her shoe and became a Princess. I really liked it and was a super good girl even though it was not over until after 10pm! We were lucky too....it was not too hot. We even got a cherry lemonade at intermission....it was RED!

I think this is my first of many plays and musicals! I really had fun. When it was over I did not want to go home...I am a party girl!

I love my mom so much....

"Mom, you are so special to me. You make my bottom itch." That is what I told mom the other night as I looked at her with a BIG sincere smile. I love my mom.

Logan's 1st Birthday Party!

Today I went to Baby Logan's 1st birthday party! Logan is Miss Courtney's (one of mommy's best friends) son. He is so cute! They rented a HUGE bounce house since there were so many big kids there and it was AWESOME! Sydney was also there and we had SO MUCH FUN playing all day long! We played in the bounce house, played hide and seek, ran around like crazy and has a blast. She is a great friend and I love playing with her!
Love,

Chuck-E-Cheese

Last night we went to Chuck-e-Cheese to play! I was so excited to go and talked about it all day long....after all, I don't think I had been there since I was 3. It was SO MUCH FUN!! Papa Dick and Nama Vicki met us there and we all played lots of games, went down the slide and got lots of tickets! I even got to pick out prizes! Can't wait to go back!

We even made chocolate lava cakes that I got to take home and eat. I can't wait for the next play date....it will have to be at my house and I'll show her all my cool stuff!

4th of July!!!

Happy belated 4th of July! This year Papa Dick came over for a cookout and then we all to see the fireworks! We went to our special lookout place and saw all sorts of fireworks from all over. I wore my light up Tinkerbell dress so I would glow in the dark! A bigger girl told me "I like your dress". That made me feel really good!

Growing Pains

Sometimes at night I complain that my knees, legs and/or feet hurt. My mommy had the same thing when she was little....growing pains. I do not like growing pains. They hurt and keep me up sometimes. I have them right now. Boohoo!

Hot, hot, hot!!

Since Nama & Papa are in Prague Aunt Jenny is watching me today and tomorrow...then Nama Vicki is coming in town to watch me Thursday and Friday! Today we met Aunt Jenny, Anna & Ashley at Nama's and Papa's house.

The house was really HOT because Nama turned down the air conditioning since they were out of town. BUT, it never got cold even when we turned up the air conditioning!!! Aunt Jenny called the repair guy and he came and told us the air conditioner is broken...uh oh!

In order for us to stay cool (the house was 84 degrees) Aunt Jenny gave us a long cool bath and then we played in the basement. When we finally could not stand it any longer (and the repair guy was gone), mommy & daddy came and picked me up and took me home.

The warranty company is coming tomorrow to look at it and see what needs to be replaced AND we are going to Aunt Jenny's house to stay cool!!

Thanks for watching me Aunt Jenny. It was a crazy day!
Love,
Kate

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Yesterday was daddy's birthday. We had a really busy day! First we woke up super early in Florida (4:30am...3:30am KC time), then we got ready, drive to the airport, went on an airplane and came home to Kansas City. we did all of that by 10am KC time!!

I fell asleep on the car ride home and slept for almost 5 hours!!!! Longest nap EVER! Also the shortest night sleep EVER!

After I woke up we went to daddy's favorite restaurant...Jalapenos! Then we all went for family manicures (me) and pedicures (mom and dad).

When we got home we relaxed and watched the movies from our trip to Disney World. It was such a fun day!
Love,

Disney Family!

As you can probably tell from all the posts, the fun pictures and the great stories...we all had a blast in Disney World! I think it is the greatest place on earth and can't wait to go back! Hopefully it will be soon! Now that we know more of what to do and how to do it I bet the next trip will be even better (if that is even possible)! We might be what they call "a Disney Family"!!
Love,

Benihana...last dinner in Disney World!

We wanted to do something fun for our last night at Disney World. We decided on having dinner at Benihana (a Japanese steakhouse). I had never been to one before so mom and dad thought I would think it was neat. It was also at our hotel...so very convenient!!

I am being silly in this picture and trying out my kid chop sticks!

I was a clown that night!

Here is our chef cooking all our goodies right at our table! Mom and I got chicken and dad got steak. I loved my dinner. I ended up giving mom most of my shrimp though. I liked it, but preferred my chicken.

"Cheese!"

Mickey Mouse rice! Cool!

It was a yummy dinner! I can't wait to go to a Japanese steakhouse in Kansas City!

Love,

Kate

The pool...again!

We headed to the pool on our last day to relax and to escape the heat! The hotel had 2 really cool adult pools, a kiddie pool and 2 hot tubs.

Here I am with my vest on walking down the steps.

Here I am holding my breath while daddy teaches me to swim.

Mexican food..cheese dip...

Although definitely not Jalepenos and not even Jose Peppers....we managed to find ourselves Mexican food (and cheese dip) twice during our trip!

Day 7: Magic Kindom (part 3)

We decided to spend our last day in Disney World at the Magic Kingdom. It was our 3rd trip to the Magic Kingdom and we really love it. We got there right when it opened and our plan was to go straight to Rapunzel to meet her. The lines had always been SO long that I had not met her yet. Well, mom and I went it was already a 2 hour wait!! Instead of spending most of time at the park waiting we decided to ride rides and stuff.

Instead of the monorail we took the fairy boat over to Magic Kingdom. It was our hottest and most crowded day by far. We knew it would be a short day at the parks for us.

I got to meet Alice in Wonderland and the White Rabbit and then we road the teacups again!

Dad and I drove this fast car at the Speedway. I was really scared and cried most of the time. They did give me a cool drivers license though!

On our way out of the park for the day we ran into a little parade. It was fun to see everyone!

Here I am trying to cool myself off with my fan and squirter!

I love the Magic Kingdom and can't wait to head back there very soon!

Love,

Kate

Day 6: Hollywood Studios Night!

We decided to take advantage of our Park hopper Passes (for the first time) and head to Hollywood Studios to watch the evening Fantasmic show. When we got there it almost immediately started to rain, so we put on ponchos and pulled out umbrellas!

I did not want a poncho so we concocted an arrangement with the umbrella on the stroller so I could stat dry! Daddy got us some popcorn to we could chill out until the rest slowed down.

We got to the outdoor theater for Fantasmic about an hour before the show started. Good thing, because it was already about 60% full. We got a good seat and entertained ourselves!

Mom brought a bunch of glow in the dark stuff that we played with and got all ready. I looked really cool once it got dark! We even shared some bracelets with kids who were sitting near us!

Daddy and me getting excited for the show!

and mommy and me!

and all of us!!!! xoxo

Here is a close up of all my bracelets!

The show was cool! Lots of fireworks, lights, water and load noises!! I got scared some, but just sat on the floor until the music got happy again!

The coolest part for me was what all the Disney characters came out on the boat! I wish they stuck around longer though! I loved that part!

Love,

Kate
