Kaisley's Blessing

Yet another fun weekend! Friday we took Kaisley to her first fair with Jake, Jessica, and Kara Leigh. We were able to test out Kaisley's new carrier that you strap to your body and she did fairly good for most of the event. We saw horses, chickens, cows, and even emu's.

 HAD to stop at a Smokin' Cowboys BBQ stand for dinner but before we could make it to the mini doughnut stand Kaisley insisted on going home. (Mom's diet secretly thanked her :0)

Saturday we had our favorite cousins over! Tiff, Jon, and Hayden met baby Kaisley for the first time. I think she recognized their voices because she let them just hold her forever when sometimes she can get fussy with other people for not so long.

 Hayden, of course, is still as cute as ever and loved to play with Kohl. She was sleeping by Kaisley's swing and Hayden was walking around the house for ten minutes looking for her. Even standing just feet from her he kept looking over her!

We took a few quick pictures of their family and Tiffany snapped some good ones of us!

Afterwards we had Pizza Hut and played Catch Phrase. We didn't have Kaisley in her crib that night to avoid waking up Hayden and she didn't go to sleep until almost 2:00 a.m.! This made us very nervous that she would be fussy the next day. Kiley and I were both very frustrated that night because to top it all off the air conditioning broke!! But Kiley knows how to make it better and I woke up to flowers the next morning :0)

Sunday was Kaisley's blessing and we were so happy that she didn't fuss at all and Kiley did an amazing job! I guess that the men in the circle were all having a little bit of a struggle balancing Kaisley just right and her head was flopping from side to side, but not dropping her was great!! We didn't realize when we bought Kaisley's dress at the time but the size was 6-9 months! Way to big for the little girl! The bonnet didn't even touch her head! but she still made it look cute!

Afterwards the family came over for lunch. It was so nice to have so many people we love in one place.

 Hayden and Jaxon found great buds in each other. They sneakily disappeared for awhile and when they came back Hayden was covered in dust with weeds in his hair. Boys will be boys!!

That night we went to Mt. Harrison with our family for camping. We had a delicious Dutch Oven meal and lots of laughs. Especially over Jason's shuffle and Mom trying to sing "on the roof top top of the world." Quotes of the weekend: "I'm TRANSFORMING!!" "So 12 o'clock Tuesday is Monday's Midnight?" "It's coming right at me!" and "I'm going to give a camel a piggyback ride to a rice patty and then pick a baby tea leaf." We stayed up until 2 a.m. making for very tired parents for Kaisley. We all played volleyball and washer boards. Grandma and Grandpa brought up watermelon (they have about 80 at home!!) and cantaloupe that was delicious. Such a fun labor day weekend and we couldn't have asked for better people to spend it with!!
