One TWO-rrific Birthday!!!!

We had one very fun birthday week! We went to the zoo with grammy and aunt gigi on Kaylee's actual birthday. Aunt gigi has one awesome friend that is the keeper of the giraffe's and she let us come into the actual giraffe area and FEED them. It was one of the most amazing experiences!! Kaylee absolutely loved every minute of it!!! (Thank you Thank you thank you to Gina's friend, Kelli!!! )
We spent the rest of the week with grammy and went for many walks and shopping trips... what we girls do best! Keenon's birthday was on Wednesday, daddy got a new boat for his birthday! Thursday we went out on the green boat as kaylee calls it. I went skiing for the first time in three years, and no I couldn't walk on Friday!!! We did have so much fun though! Daddy caught some major air on his wake board, Kaylee and I think he's quite a stud!!!
On Saturday we had Kaylee's "duck"-tacular birthday party. It was so much fun! Kaylee especially enjoyed her duck cake as she called it. We had great friends, food and a pool to keep us cool, doesn't get any better!

Kaylee digging into her duck cake! When we first cut the cake she cried and said no no no.... my mom and I felt the same way after six to eight hours of work on these special cakes!!! We had to take the cake to the counter and cut it so she couldn't see us hurting her precious ducks.... it was quite hilarious!
