Kiley Turned 4 !

 

My sister is four now.  I guess that means she's just a little smarter now and can do a bit more things on her own....BUT, I still have to tell her HOW to do things all the time. 

 I AM her big sister, of course!

We had her party on Sunday-April 22, 2012.  We were going to have it at a park in Garner, NC but it rained all day and it was yucky!  So we had it at our house!  Crazy, but fun!  I got to play with some of my cousins and Kiley got to have everyone's attention on her!  She loves that!

 We had a lot of fun!  Next birthday party will be Daddy's!  He's turning OLD!  Talk to you soon!

Camping Time

We did it! We finally went camping! Daddy bought Mommy a tent for her birthday in December and we finally used it! Ha! Mommy went camping ALL the time when she was little and loved it and now I do too! So does Kiley!
Man that girl LOVES anything out of the ordinary!




We got all packed up and headed to Falls Lake to camp for one night! It took awhile to find the perfect spot (close to a bathroom for Mommy) and one that we could walk to the fishing pier from. Well....we found the bathroom site and had to drive to the pier, but it all worked out!





Check in was at 4 p.m. We got there a little early and had our hammock, tent, and fire pit all ready for cooking dinner by 5:30!! Hot dogs, and corn on the cob for din din,
then toasty hot s'mores for dessert! yummy!



Kiley loved the hammock!




Sleeping in the tent was fun...but it got really cold. We all woke up when the birdies started chirping and the rooster crowed! We started another fire to warm us up and Daddy put fishing tackle on our fishing poles! We fished on the pier until Kiley pooped out! Didn't catch anything but Daddy says that's why they call it 'fishing' and not 'catching!
Grandpa Pond would have been proud of my casting skills! hee hee!

Can't wait to do it again! Maybe in a couple of weeks!
Mommy says she has the 'camping bug' now!
I HATE bugs!
