Beautiful Dream - Our Kaelynn Rose

As always - July was a CRAZY. busy month!! Every year we have my birthday and San Diego Comic-Con, but this year we also had Paul's company picnic -

First we spent another weekend with Koenig family at their beach house, then just a few days later spent the 4th of July with aunt Haidee, uncle marek, and Grandma Beth & Grandpa Al in San Diego. Her aunt Kalyn (yup same name - but just a coincidence), & uncle John had a BLAST taking her down to the water to play while we watched the fireworks from the beach!!! Then she got to have a marshmallow fight on the beach, she managed to hit Daddy twice!!! Pretty good aim for a 2 year old just learning how to throw!!!

Next up on the July crazy calendar was a brand new Tinkerbell Tea Set. She has been obsessed with having "tea parties" for quite awhile now, and we wanted to give her a proper tea set, so we got it in secret and gave it to her as a surprise after a really good speech session. It is working well to help her develop more complex sentences and increase her overall vocabulary as she has her tea parties - it was a wonderful, and inspiring present!!!

Blizzard throws a wonderful family picnic - great food, music, games, and bouncy houses for the kids! Kaelynn spent almost an hour in one! We had a hot dog for lunch, and ice cream and ice pops as treats. She ran around with air hockey balls she found, played with the table tennis rackets, and even tried to climb the rock wall - she actually got part of the way up!!! She was completely wiped out afterwards and slept all the way home!!!

We spent Mommy's birthday at Disneyland - we watched Fantasmic, and went on all of Kaelynn's & Mommy's favorite rides - Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Teh Carousel, Dumbo, and saw the fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's Castle. We had ice cream cake, and a yummy dinner - and presents too of course!!!

Our final weekend, we traveled to San Diego for Comic-Con. This was Kaelynn's 2nd Comic-Con - and she had even more fun this year, than last. No Backyardigans premiers, but she got to wear her fairy costume - and even met some of Tinkerbell's friends (Rosetta & Fawn). On Sunday we met Raul, Carla, and Raulito for lunch near the convention center - it was so nice to see them. They live in Tijuana - so we don't get to see them as often as we like - but we try to meet up with them every year during Comic-con. We of course spent time with aunt Haidee and uncle Marek - and had lots of fun as always! kaelynn also picked out a special fairy painting for her bedroom. Oh, and she got to see two of her favorite things combined into one thing - robots and Neigh-Neighs (horses) our first day on the floor we saw a figurine of a robot horse!!!! She wanted to take it home and had to spend about 10 minutes looking at it - pointing out it's tail, eyes, and that is was a robot!!! She kept saying robot neigh-neigh over and over again!!!

Next weekend Daddy leaves for New Orleans - for Siggraph - I am so sad that we can't go too - as I have never been, but Miss Kae and I will spend our time having tea parties, and playdates, and Daddy will be home before we know it!!!

Thanks as always for following our crazy little journey - and our sweet little girl!

Hugs to all,

Chandra, Paul, and Miss Kae
