J-O-B!

My current employer had to stop working due to her "medical condition" so I started looking for another child to watch. I was hoping I could get Marty for the summer but her parents already made arrangements for her. I put an ad on Craig's List and got an email from a Navy Mom. The following week she and her daughter came over to meet us and so we could talk more.

They came over on Friday and stayed for about 40 minutes. Her daughter is 6, only a couple weeks younger than Kylie. She seems real sweet and kinda shy but I'm sure she'll warm up as she gets to know us. We talked while the girls played.

So it looks like she is going to start with us on Monday! She'll be here from 7am-4pm. Hopefully this works out for the summer and Kylie will enjoy having a playmate!

Kylie's birthday party!

Kylie wanted her birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese again this year. Mainly because she had promised Haylee she could do the 'Ticket Blaster' with her since last year Kylie chose a friend from school to go with her. Well when we got there the host told me that either a parent could go with her or she could go by herself but not a friend. Kylie started crying and the host felt so bad and told us she would check with her manager to see if it was OK. They had just changed this rule a couple weeks ago. After a while the host came back to me and told me it was fine that Kylie take a friend with her and gave us 20 extra tokens for making Kylie cry. How sweet!

Now on to the party!

Haylee was so excited giving Kylie her gift, she may have been more excited than Kylie! It was so cute!

Love it!

Card from Haylee [and Nic Nic & Dave]. They also got her some books and there was one Kylie already had and right away she told Haylee she could have it because she already had it. They can be sweet sometimes! ;)



Kylie had a great 6th birthday! After the party she went home with her Grammie [Jacob's mom] to spend the night! We are praying it doesn't rain tomorrow so Jacob can put together our gift to her, that goes outside.

**My mom took some videos [& pictures] throughout the party if you look on her FB page**
