Kalee and Brylee: Happy 4th of July!

What a fantastic weekend! I had so much fun in St. Charles hanging out with everyone, swimming, going down a really big slide, and watching fireworks. We did a lot of swimming and even though I am still not a huge fan of the pool, I did get in quite a bit and I really liked when mommy and I would chase daddy around the pool. I was never brave enough to put my face in the water, but I did put on a jacket that helped me float all by myself. On Saturday, we went to one of mommy's friends house for a bbq and I had a great time playing with Megan and Ethan. That night we went to Main Street St.Charles and I was able to go on a really big slide at their carnival. We also stayed for the fireworks and I LOVED every minute of those. I thought that they were some of the most beautiful flowers that I had ever seen! On the 4th, we stayed around the house and I played all day with Uncle Brent, Aunt Cortney, Cooper and Ella. That night we ate ribs and corn on the cob and then watch some fireworks with mommy and uncle Brent's old neighbor. I HATED those fireworks! No one told me that after they make all of their pretty colors they end with a huge explosion! I thought my life had come to an end at one point! Needless to say, we didn't stay too long! I really did have a great time visiting and maybe next time around I will try to be a little more brave in the pool. Oh yeah, one more thing...my binkis have all magically disappeared and mom and dad just keep saying that they can't find them, so if anyone out there has a stray binki laying around this girl would sure appreciate it. Mom and dad also keep telling me that I am a big girl and don't need them anymore, but I am sure trying to change their minds about that! Wish me luck in my binkiless world!

Ahhh,this is the life!
