Our Kylie turned 9 on August 14th the day before she started 3rd grade. This birthday she wanted cowboy boots. When we took her and Leah to Tennessee in June she saw everyone wearing cowboy boots and really loved seeing all the different kind of boots there were, so she didn't forget that and asked for them for her birthday. So the week before her birthday, I took her to Chuck's boots. She was so excited and said she was in cowboy boot heaven. She had her choice down to 2 boots. See below. The brown boots won out. This was so much fun, I decided that this would be a tradition on taking the kids to pick out their birthday presents. Kylie is such an awesome young lady. She wants to please everyone so much and take care of them. She really watches over her little brother. Kylie was our first born Granddaughter and showed us how much love we have and can give to our grandchildren. Like the poster says that I just seen recently saw, "The most precious jewels you will have around your neck are the arms of your grandchildren."
These funnies were passed to me from Mary (Sissy's Mom), Mary was spending the whole day with Sissy since Brian took off and went camping with Leah and Charlie on August 8, 2012 a Wednesday and then Mary and Sissy were going to join Brian the next day for a float trip. So the first thing that happened was Mary took Sissy for a mani/pedi, Sissy's first. One thing you need to know about Sissy is that she speaks Japanese, that is what she tells all us, so with that knowledge, most of the salons around here are owned by Asian people who regularly speak a foreign language in front of their clients. While Sissy was being taken care of Mary said she would just stare at these people speaking this foreign language and when there was a break in the action, she turns to Mary and says....."Mom should I speak Japanese to these people??????" Mary told her "No, that is ok". Mary then asked Sissy, "Do you know what they are saying?" Sissy says "Yes, they are talking about how pretty I am". Mary just laughed to herself.
After the mani/pedi Mary stopped at Steak and Shake and took food home for them to eat and Mary had to take a shower before going to her book club that evening. As Mary parked the car and they were walking up to the door, Sissy asked Mary "Can you bring food to your book club?" Mary said "You could but usually the person hosting the book club has food for everyone." Sissy says "Oh, good because I am pretty sure I have a french fry in my underwear". I was rolling when Mary told me this and you have to know Sissy, I can just see her seriously walking up the walk and saying this with just a deadpan face, like I think it is going to rain, no big deal. She just didn't want to get in trouble for bringing food into their house if she wasn't supposed too. My Sissy girl is a hoot. Love her to death.
