Extra eyes

Kaia has been squinting a lot lately so I decided to go and get her eyes checked. They had to dilate her eyes so she was pretty excited to be able to wear these sunglasses:

























After all the tests they did they said that Kaia had a horrible astigmatism in her left eye and a small astigmatism in her right eye, so glasses were a necessity. Here's our little Kaia with the glasses she picked out:

Kaia turns 4

Wow, I can't believe our little Kai turned 4. She is such a little sweetie!! She loves to joke around though. Here is an example of something that happened about a week ago:

I was sewing on my machine and Kai was down by my foot watching me push on the sewing machine peddle. Well a couple of times she pushed down on the peddle and I told her to get out from under there. After telling her about three times she finally said:

"Kaia's not home, please leave a message after the beep. BEEP!"

I laughed so hard. She was pretty proud of herself that she made mom laugh!!

Here's some pics of her birthday:

Present from Grams!!

My mom is in the Philippines on a church mission and we miss her so much!! Thank goodness for SKYPE. The kids get to see her and when our camera is working on our computer, she gets to see them! Well, Kaia's 4th birthday is next week and she got a letter in the mail from her Gram (my mom). Inside the cute card was a necklace that my mom sent her. She jumped up and down and clapped her hands when she saw it. We had told our kids that they wouldn't get any presents from Gram while she was gone but my mom proved us wrong! Here's a picture of Kaia with her necklace and a special message to my mom!

























The necklace is a coin from the Philippines with a hole in it and a necklace put through the middle of it. Kaia calls it her "money necklace" from Grams!
