Kayla Pure and Beloved

We don't get to see Kayla nearly often enough.  Kayla is such a delightful child.  I looked up the meaning of her name -- Pure and Beloved is the Irish version.  It is also a variant of Kay which means keeper of the Keys in the English translation.  Kayla is now 13 and has had a pronounced growing streak.  She will probably always be small.   What a joy to watch Kayla grown into teenager as she moves toward adulthood.
So here she is.  A little lady who marches to her own drum.  Enjoys her own creations.  And lives in her world of hopes and dreams of her own making.  Kayla should go far in life.    She is not so much into the girlie, girlie stuff.  She like bats and stuffed toys and art and the such.  When Hailey had a nail painting party, Kayla insisted it was much too girlie for her.    She may enjoy more than she lets on. 

She is the girl who loves her hair in her face.   And if you want her to smile for a photo....good luck.   I work hard for those perfect smiling photos.


Now I am wondering if we ever posted Kayla's 13th Birthday party Movie...just in case, here it comes

Rosemary's Shopping Spree On Her 9th Birthday

Today is Rosie's 9th Birthday.  Nana's morning job was cancelled we decided on a personal shopping trip to the mall. Rosie was so excited.  We stopped to take a photo by the pansies outside the Mall, but it was tttttttoooooo cold and tooooo windy.  We decided to try photos inside the Mall.
We entered by the food court.  Ahhhh this is much better, no wind in our eyes.   But the important part is the shopping for Rosie.
Come on, lets go!    Of course we stopped in a few shops on the way to the Justice Store.
 Who can not help but gaze briefly  at the ice cream shop and the CinnaABun too.
We looked around to see what we could see.   Rosie is interested in Zebra Stripped items.
We found some zebra slip on shoes but they were pretty expensive and made of satin looking cloth.  Rosie loved them but they would have taken half of the budget.  We'd better look more.
The Children's Place Store has cute things but many of them are for tiny little girls.  Rosie is growing big.
The Children's Place Store had tons of flip flops.
Let's go downstairs, I think that is where the Justice Store is.
They did have zebra things, but when it came to making a decision, the selections were pink and purple and such as that.       She picked out an adorable peach colored top which we did not get a photo of.  And instead of a Zebra webkinz, she found a puppy.
I asked her if she was ready to eat or go to Macy's.  Her choice was Macy's.  So back up we go.
Most of the Birthday Budget was spent already so we had to be very careful to look for one or two things, and see if there was enough left.    Rosie could not narrow it down to only one item so two were selected.
A fancy silkey feeling dress and a casual two piece -- everything purple.
Now we are ready for lunch and Chick Fil A was the choice for the Day.
After lunch, Rosie was ready to go home.  She said she knew there were more presents at home waiting for her.  Happy Birthday Sweet Nine Year Old Rosie!
