HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALLI!!

Today was Kalli's birthday. Kalli is a great kid,
seriously this kid is enjoyable all of the time. She is extremely quick witted, smart, talks with a super gruff voice and just makes people smile. She is a great sister, daughter and a friend to EVERYONE, when she was little we couldn't take her anywhere that she did not come away with two new friends (the store, mcdonalds, the park). Kalli loves science and math. She is extremely creative and is always making "contraptions". What you see with Kalli is what you get, there is nothing false with her, she tells it like she sees it. When Kalli was born whe was born on the first day of summer. Well Chad wanted to name her Summer. My mom told us that we should not name her Summer because all Summers needed to be blonde hair and blue eyed girls. And with Chad and I being brown hair and brown eyes there wouldn't be a very good chance of having a blue eyed blondie. Well guess what, out of our six kiddos, Kalli is our ONLY Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed child. So needless to say my mother will never hear the end of it!

In Pleasant Grove we have what is called Strawberry days. It's a week long festival with carnivals, art shows, concerts in the park, free swim days, rodeos etc. Well today it ended with a parade. Kalli was so excited she could not believe how lucky she was that they threw a parade for her birthday. So after the parade we had a BBQ with cousins, she got to play on the neighbor's slip n slide and then ended the day at the swimming pool. It was a great way to end Strawberry Days and celebrate a very special girls birthday. We love you Kalli and hope you had a day that you deserved, Happy Birthday!!!
