My little helper

Kali loves to help me around the house. Anytime she hears me start to clean the dishes she runs in the kitchen and says, "help, dishes." Then she pulls her chair up next to me and goes to work. She is so sweet! When I am vacuuming same thing she wants to come help and even when I start cleaning her room she wants to help. She is such a good little girl. Along with all this helping comes miss independent, she also wants to do EVERYTHING herself. We were at the mall the other day and she needed to go the bathroom but she would not let me come in with her she had to do it all by herself. This was the first time she did this so I was trying to peek through the cracks and make sure she was O.K. I also did a few jumps trying to look over the stall to make sure she didn't need help. I am sure I looked really funny. End result, she passed with flying colors, she did it all by her self, without any help, she was so proud of herself and I was so proud of her too!! My little girl is growing up.

My Provider

When Aaron is not providing for us by working or going to school, he is providing for us by bringing us home yummy food, like LOBSTER!!!!! He always tells me not to worry if he needed to he would provide for us by hunting and fishing, we will never go without food. It is true! He caught this eel the other day, he said it kept following him around so he decided to bring it home with him. Then on another excursion he caught three lobster!! I think there is only a couple of times he has come home empty handed, and he tries to go out at least once or twice a week! I am so proud of my man and thanks babe for always taking care of me!

My Princess

Kali is starting to be very prissy now for some reason when we go to the beach. When we first get there she wants to be set on a towel so that no sand touches her. She will sit there for awhile and then she will lay down like she is sun tanning. Then I will ask her if she wants to get in the water with me and she always does which is nice. After we get in the water and she plays for awhile she will want to get out because she is cold and want to be wrapped up in a towel. As soon as we have gone through this whole routine she is fine and will start running around in the sand and not freak out about being sandy. I don't know where this all came from but I hope it is a faze. I miss when Kali loved the beach and she would play in the sand and play in the waves and let them plow her over. We are going to try to go everyday and see if that cures this prissiness! I just want to give a shout out to OLD NAVY for providing such cute suits for little girls. I LOVE THEM!

PRINCESS KALI TURNED 2!

A little pre-party story. The night before Kali's birthday party I let her help me put together all of her party stuff to get it ready for the next day and when I put her to bed at around 9:00pm I told her that she needed to get some sleep because tomorrow was going to be a big day. We were going to go pick out her bike and then come home and have her princess birthday party. She was excited and went right to sleep. UNTIL, two hours later at 11:00pm I hear, "MAMA LYN, MAMA LYN." She calls me that sometimes because I call her Kali Lyn so she thinks I am mama Lyn. It makes me laugh. So I go in to see what is wrong and she is standing up with a big smile on her face wide awake and she says, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I laughed so hard. She was so excited she couldn't sleep anymore. So I got her up and let her run around until Dad got home. She was so funny. She was a little tired the next day which I feared but I guess because of all the excitement of picking out her bike and the party, she was a happy camper all day long and luckily that night I put her down at 8:00pm and she didn't wake up until 10:00 am the next morning. She was exhaused! Kali had a princess birthday party and she was princess Aurora (sleeping beauty). All of the little princess's were fully equipped with their princess dress, tiara, shoes and jewelry, they even got to show us their moves and dance. I would have to say Lili won the dance contest, that girl knows how to shake her hips! They all did a good job swinging at the princess pinata which Aaron had to bust open for them so they could retrieve their candy and they had a fun time jumping in the castle bounce house.
The little princess's are Isabella Ford, Drew Reynolds, Taylor Lee, Lili Howard, Eliza and Malia Sibbett, Gabriella Stimmel, Adilyn Stimmel, Brylie Wynes and KALI JONES! Not shown are Adelaine Jorgenson and Kaiya Crosby. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS KALI!

Happy Valentine's Day
