Look out Kara has the hose 8/14/09

Kara has mastered the sprayer on the hose. She loves to help her Daddy with whatever he is fixing or cleaning.

High Maintenance

Kara will ask for a "assage" when she comes down with me to help with laundry. Last week she climbed up on the table,put her face in the face rest and said,"assage me mommy." I started to rub her back and she looked up at me and said," I need lotion and cover me up." Oh boy,we are in trouble,Diva in the making.

July 4th 2009 Conneaut,OH

July 4th, 2009

We were invited to Conneaut,OH(along Lake Erie)for the 4th of July. Many thanks to Lisa,Kyle,Willa and all the kids. We had such a great time. Kara swam her little heart out. A little too cold at the beach but she had fun looking for rocks. Her favorite part was the parade. She never understood why people were throwing her candy. Tim, being the great dad that he is, pretty much shoved kids out of the way to get the good stuff for his daughter.

First Camping Trip, Deer Creek 6-19/6-21/09

Kara will not eat corn at home but loved corn on the cob. Kara doing her chores to empty the water and a picture of our cabin.

Our First Camping Trip 6-19/6-21-09

I finally convinced Tim to go camping and we had a great time over Father's Day. By definition most people would not call our camping cabin, "True Camping." Kara had a great time just being outdoors,going to the beach,watching movies on her DVD player, and getting to sleep with mommy everynight. Tim didn't want to eat outside because the bugs were in his food, the wind was blowing the plates,etc. We are camping,therefore, we are eating outside on the picnic tables not in our little air conditioned cabin. Our cabin had everything we "Needed" except bathroom facilities. We took Kara's little potty,since we started being serious about potty training earlier in the week. She has done really well except on Saturday. She was just excited to have her cousins there to hang out with us. I have to admit the cabin with AC is key in June. We also had a small refridgerator,microwave,electricity,and it slept 6. We had 2 picnic tables, fire ring and an electric hot plate chained to one of the picnic tables with a shelter. We went to Deer Creek State Park which has alot of things to do. The beach,fishing,playgrounds,lodge,cabins,campground,etc. We will definitely do this in the future. I have visited all of our state parks and we are blessed to have so much here in Ohio. I suggest going to the website www.discoverohio.com to see what day or overnight inexpensive trips to do this summer.

5/30/09 Jose&Kristen's Wedding

We had such a great time at the Byer's wedding. I think Kara and Emily had the most fun dancing and twirling around in their dresses. The girls were so cute and we had to take Kara kicking and screaming off the dance floor to go home.
