Kaylee Comes to Visit

Gus and I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with Miss Kaylee Joy! She spent 3 days with us while her parents got a much needed getaway to Vegas. We took her on many adventures to keep her happy and busy as a little bee. She is one of the most well behaved little people I have ever met; she is quiet, a good listener, a good eater and didn’t complain once that she was with us! We took walks to the park to play, swam in the pool, read books, and even got to meet some new friends. It’s no wonder her last name is “Joy”, she is a complete JOY to have around!

The Twins were VERY interested in who this little one was and what are all the goodies that came along with her?!?!?!?! Jordan was very social and patient with her and even let Kaylee pet her, but that came at a price; Jordan loved to sniff and try to steal her food and nibble at her toes while Kaylee was eating. Needless to say she got locked up the 1st time that happened and then left her alone while she ate after that. Michaela was actually being very social and didn’t hide the entire weekend with Kaylee around! The funniest thing was she would get confused and come running in the room if I was talking to Kaylee (we call Michaela “Chaela”)  she would pounce in the room with a “what? what? what?” look on her face. They decided a good place to nap where they couldn’t be reached was on top of my ironing board with my wet clothes laying flat to dry, I let that one slide since they were kicked outta their napping room for Kaylee’s pack-n-play. Sunday while Kaylee napped they got some uninterrupted lounging time with their Daddy by the front door, their favorite thing to do!

Saturday night Kaylee and I joined the gals for “Martini’s and Movies” at Teren’s house. As you can guess I didn’t have a martini or get to watch the movie but it’s OK, I had a WONDERFUL time catching up with the gals! Kaylee was kid #10 and had a blast running around with all the kids, eating popcorn, chocolate covered pretzels, licorice, and everyone’s watermelon slices. Teren, thank you for having us join you and for Kalyee’s bear, she loves it and wouldn’t let it go! You are an amazing hostess and the party was so fun! (and thanks for the pics Beck!)

Sunday I woke up at the crack of dawn and joined Wendy for a 6 mile walk with “Cliffs Crew” to start to train for the Breast Cancer Awareness 3 day. There is NO way I can keep up as they up the mileage but I am happy to join every Sunday and do what I can to support the team! The walk is 60 miles in San Diego in November so I won’t be able to participate this year but hopefully Wendy and I can do it together next year! While I was gone Gus was a great babysitter and got Kaylee up, fed her breakfast and even changed her diaper (and it was his 1st diaper change EVER) without calling me once! What a great Uncle Gus Gus!

After naps W2 brought Latte over to join us in the pool and for a little Laker game party. Wes wants Latte to get used to the pool but there’s a little problem, Latte hates the water! She did a good job and only freaked out the 1st time and then was calm when we brought her in after that. Even tho there was a mad dash to the edge, I think she’ll get the hang of it! Kaylee got a kick outta Latte swimming and she danced her bootie off and sang for us while we floated the heat away.

As we said goodbye to our guests and our SUPER busy weekend we plopped on the couch and Gus turned to me and said “I miss our Intern Kaylee, I want her to come back.”
