Memorable quotes by Kelsie

Kelsie is at the age where she says the funniest things and on many occasions, I have thought, "I need to write that down!" Well, this is going to be my "writing it down". Since I am terrible about keeping things organized, making lists, or utilizing pen and paper anymore,  I think the blog (AKA - Kelsie's baby book) may be the best place to put it. I will also have access to it on my phone no matter where we are so I can just keep a log. Enjoy!

11/4/13 (age 2y 8m)-  As we are sitting in the dentist, Kelsie was sitting on my lap and was about to get her teeth cleaned. I don't know exactly what I was doing but I think I was moving her hair around and kissed her or something and she said "top it, youre getting on my nerves". I was so shocked and have never heard her say that before. Not something she needs to say very often but its also a good thing that she is learning to express her feelings!

As I was reading her a bedtime story tonight she looked up at me and said with the sweetest face, "Mommy, I seepy...(and with a little pause and hesitation and a smirk) I need coffee."  I couldn't help but roar in laughter. I don't even say that very often but its definitely a reminder that they hear EVERYTHING you say and are always trying to be more like you! Such a funny moment. I was laughing so much and she joined in. Very cute. And then she prayed. For all members of her family, as well as her baby dolls, Maggie (my parents' dog), and mommy's earrings. :)

11/3/13- Kelsie had been in bed for about 30 minutes. I thought she was asleep. Then I heard her yelling over and over "yook mommy, I doing exercise!!" Looked at the monitor and saw this. This girl keeps me laughing!

Halloween 2013

My favorite quote from last night: "Are you Tinkerbell?", Kelsie's reply, "No, I Kelsie. This jup (just) my costume!" In case anyone was wondering! ;)

We didn't do anything extravagant for Halloween, just went trick or treating around the neighborhood which was lots of fun. It was such a beautiful evening too! Near 70s so warm enough to not have to bundle up a small costume.

Several of our neighbors went a little far out decorating for Halloween (smoke, people dressed up with masks giving out candy from a "fortune teller" set, graves dug out in their yard with skeletons inside, eyeballs that lit up and flashing in the bushes, motion detector corpses that scared you when you walked by). It was pretty intense, and at times scary for the kids. I was afraid we might have to deal with nightmare awakenings last night but she didn't wake up thankfully.

She was a pretty little Tinkerbell though and enjoyed getting all the candy.












Bowl Away CF

Once again, we had a wonderful time at the CFF Fundraiser: Bowl Away CF. Our team raised over the $3,500 and the event as a whole raised over $21,000! We are thrilled to have been a part of the fundraising for this great cause and pray that God will bless the efforts of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, specifically that a cure will be found!


Here are some pictures from the event.

Kelsie loved the bowling and was so excited to have all of her favorite people together in one place. She kept saying we were going to her birthday party! :) I guess it was kind of like that in some ways...everyone on our team was there to support and celebrate her!






 



 

My little nurse. Like mother, like daughter!

Kelsie is such a nurse and little momma. At the doctor today...and she was so excited to come! She said in the way over here: "going doctor, so excited, it so much fun, getting shot, it going hurt but only a widdle".
