Happy Birthday Kylie





Kylie turned 6 this year. She is my little helper, and will do a great job of being a mom someday. She likes to take charge of her siblings, help with dinner, and wants to be involved with anything I do. She loves LOVES being in the water and is fearless jumping off the diving board, doing flips off the side of the pool, and would be in the water all day long if we would let her. She knows what she wants and will try to make it happen. She has an infectious smile and laugh, and I love the twinkle in her eye.
We already don't see things eye to eye, and have many battles when it comes to clothes. She definitely has her own style and likes to dress herself, and do her own hair. I love her spunkiness (probably not a word), and I am so glad that she is a part of our family.
We got to celebrate a couple of times this year. On her actual birthday we met our friends the Nielsen's from Arizona and went to Los Hermanoes for lunch. We had a great time catching up and visiting...and then dad met us and we headed up to Seven Peaks for a day of fun at the water park.
The next day we had cake and ice cream while watching the fireworks from the Stadium of Fire with cousins and aunts and uncles. Very fun but warm and the cake and ice cream didn't last very long!
Sunday we had Kylie's favorite meal of chicken rolls, mashed potatoes, salad, jello, and brownies with chocolate frosting. Lori, Ryan, Grandma and Grandpa Wilson, and Matthew and April were able to celebrate with us that day. What a lucky girl to have a 3 day birthday celebration.
We sure love our Kylie Jo and we are anxiously looking forward to see what the next year brings!
