We had a great time in Kansas City and wanted to share a couple more pictures!

At the Kansas City Zoo!!

at the Tiger at the Kansas City Zoo!

We have finally arrived at the Lodge!! So happy to get out of the car!!

travel Visa re instated

You might recall that after last fall's trip to San Diego.. Charlee lost her travel Visa.. she wasn't the best traveler..

Well we gave her another chance and headed to Kansas City the last couple of days and she had a great time and did a great job.. she is free to travel the friendly skies again:)

We stayed at a water park and charlee had a great time going down all of the slides.. she also loved her puddle jumper life jacket because she can be in the deep pools and swim.. she thinks its great to jump in and touch the bottom and then just pop right back up!! SO much fun!! She was also so brave and did all of the fun big kid slides as well!!

The resort talked about a kid spa they had but because we were there during the week it wasn't open so we took the girls to a nail salon and they got to get there nails painted.. they had a great time and Charlee did purple with white polk a dots and then put pretty pink flowers on her thumbs!

We also did some trick or treating at the hotel, where she got to wear her Princess halloween costume.. she loved it!!

Tuesday we headed to the Zoo.. we had a great time looking at the animals!! Then back to the water park! After we swam for about three hours Charlee was begging to go home and I am pretty sure she was asleep before we even got outside of Kansas City!

Keeping up with the big kids can wear a little lady out.. notice the purple polk a dot pants.. she loved that they matched her nails!

Charlee the pretty pretty pretty princess!!!

Weekend!

We love to support the panthers and for almost all home games we head to the dome early to do a little tail gating, or as Charlee calls it... Panther Party!!

This weekend was Home coming and they had some face painters... Charlee normally says no but this time she was game and it worked out well!!

We also got to celebrate Charlee's friend Colton's birthday!!! They had a great time swimming and then of course came the cake and presents!!! Those two are great friends.. and had lots of fun!!

First night of Gymnastics

Char was beyond thrilled last night was her first night of gymnastics. We had been telling her she was going to have to wait until she turned three but they said she was close enough and she could try it out! You should have seen her skip into the large gymnastics room that has always been off limits to her... she was in heaven!!

Pretty sure she is trying to figure out what is going on here!!

Holding a friends legs on bar work!

Just being silly and of course not listening to her teacher:)

Stretching and doing the splits at the start of class!

She did a great job and gets to go back again next week!!!

LIfe lately!!

We have been busy lately just enjoying life and each other, and we wouldn't have it any other way!!

Char has been loving the move she has made to the three's!! She is adjusting well, making friends and loving the structure of the three year old class!! She is learning to cut, learning to follow directions and every day she is happy to report that she didn't hit any friends.. I am yet to get to the bottom of that one.

One day last week she was so excited to show me something new that she learned.. she kept telling me, "Mom, I learned umpin acks" she was saying this over and over again and I really wasn't to sure what she telling me, so I asked her to show me what umping acks were and she started jumping up and down with wide legs and clapping her hands together.. and then I figured it out... she learned jumping jacks, and boy oh boy is she good at them and hearing her say it is.. AWESOME!!

Two peas in a pod

This is such a cute picture of Charlee and her cute little friend Colton playing!! They hadn't seen each other in awhile, and they were so happy to spend a little time together!

First day in the threes!!

Today is Charlee's first day in the Three Year Old classroom, and she couldn't be more excited!

She has a great friend in the Three's Abby and she is very excited to get to spend more time playing with her.

This morning she told me that they have a vacuum in the three year old room (I assume a play one) and that Abby stays home and vacuums and Charlee goes shopping..girl after my own heart:)

To celebrate she got to get a new dress and socks and shoes.. she was looking pretty sharp this morning:)
