Kinsley mowing the grass














Now she is just showing off

Kinsley just went potty for her second time. Now she is just showing off!

First pee in the potty

Kinsley peed in the potty for the first time yesterday. When I brought her potty the other day I certainly wasnt expecting it to happen this quick. I know that it was probably just good timing and a little bit of luck, but it was still very exciting. Who knows, maybe by 18 months we can be in pull ups, and by 2 we can be in underwear. Now I have to teach her how to say "potty" so I know when she has to go.

Rewarding day at work

Today was a exciting and fulfilling day at work. My fellow ASSET team members and I volunteered at the Wolfson Children's Hospital where we brought 4 wagons filled with toys. We got to walk around and hand out toys to all the really sick kids. It was very sad to see, but also very rewarding when we put a smile on their face. 


In honor of my team I had to decorate a pumpkin in the theme of a charity. We choose the "Make a Wish Foundation". A little girl had a wish to be a firefighter, which came true for a day with the help of the "Make a Wish Foundation". Since Keith is a fireman I thought it was a perfect choice for my team. Now, I am no artist, but with the help of my team I think we pulled it off. 


These are not Cami Cakes, these are Cara Cakes!

I baked cupcakes for work in honor of Halloween and my birthday. I must say they turned out cute and delicious. Very delicious!

Potty Training Begins... (or at least introduced)

Fun Weekend with a Fun Girl

This weekend was one of my favorite weekends with Kinsley in a while. Friday we went to the Fall Festival by my work with our friends Kara and Marianna. Saturday we went to our Little Gym class with Kara and Marianna. Later that night we had the Halloween Block party on our street. Keith and I got to enjoy a quite dinner afterwards because our little fairy passed out in her stroller. Sunday was the Fall Festival by our house with the grandparents. Lets just say I had a BLAST, but I am glad it is over. I know Kinsley won't remember all of this, but I have all the pictures to remind her. 

Fall Festival in San Marco

We went to the Fall Festival by our house on Sunday where they had lots of fun games, pony and horse rides, a train and much more. Kinsley sat on a pony, but started crying, so I had to take her off. When I say Kinsley is just like her father, I mean it.

Kinsley was also very excited to have her grandparents join in on the fun. She is really starting to open up in crowds, and become a little more independent. My little girl is growing up fast. 










Little Gym











Kara and I took the girls to the Little Gym where the girls got to explore their gymnastic talents. They had a good time, and it was a great way to spend time with them and watch them go wild.

A Fairy Tale

Last night was our "Halloween Block Party in the Street". Our street and the street next to us organize a march every year for Halloween. We start at the beginning of the street and march to the end of it where they have different games, jumping castles, food and drinks. I was surprised to the amount of people that showed up, which apparently was only half of what they normally have. Kinsley certainly had a blast, and I am really looking forward to next years march. 

Kinsley's fairy outfit:












I think she was amazed at how many kids there were. And they were all dressed up which made it even more interesting to her.



She loved her little bell that she got. She would walk down the street ringing it. 






Boy did she love the pizza. She wouldn't let Keith or I hold it for her.


She kept pointing to the differnt pictures on the jumping castle. 



There was a kid friendly haunted house and some of the games. 


The blow up slide. She was too little to go on it this year, but next year it's a must. 


At the end of the night the fairy got to ride home in her carriage.
