Nanny and Kylee on Australia Day (it's a fake tatto, don't worry)
Australia Day is January 26th. It's like 4th of July in America. We met at the beach with our ward and had breakfast,
Then went for a dip because it was soooo hot....
...And SOMEBODY (supposedly I did), forgot to bring Jeremy's swimming suit so he went in his shorts,
and Kylee and Mummy thought it was pretty funny,
and mummy didn't forget her NEW swimmsuit from Limericki.com, and Kylee's "rashy" to protect her from the sun. Gardening with Nanny
Kylee and her garden tools,
she's a natural
After Gardening we washed the cars. Bill filled up this bucket of water for Kylee and she loved it, just hopped in with her clothes on!
We have to be sun safe, Kylee always has her hat. :)
Grandpa comes in sometimes and always has "lollies" for Kylee. This time it's a gummy worm,
which Kylee obviously enjoyed, and I think she swallowed it up in one go!I bet you can't guess what Kylee's favorite letter is! And of course, the video ends with Kylee trying to hold the camera to see the video. Most of our videos we take of her have to be secretive otherwise, she stops doing what she's doing and comes over to grab the camera!
Something I've learned recently is that metaphors work when talking to my husband. I've found a way to make myself happy in doing so:). I hope that what I've learned can help others. This is what I've learned.
You can't expect orange juice to come out of an apple. Even though sometimes you want orange juice, you can't have it because you have an apple. Apples can be very good, and I might add that I've got one delicous, crunchy, apple which makes GREAT apple juice, BUT, Sometimes I just want orange juice and that's when I usually get frustrated. SO, my life lesson and my point is that if you find that you're unhappy about something, change your expectations. I have learned to love apple juice and not expect orange juice. It's made life a lot easier!
Anyway, I also wanted to wish my sister Kimberly a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I hope you have a great day, and know that i'm thinking about you.

Cute pictures and video!! I say if anybody doesn't have an article of clothing that goes on their own body, it is their fault(unless they are under 5:) I am sure you were more pleasant about it than I would have been if Scott tried to say that I forgot HIS swimmers. I have enough to worry about with getting all the kids stuff, he has to be an adult!:) Looks like you guys had a lot of fun on Australia day though!!
