A Midwest Biograffy!: 2013

Thursday, December 12

I can't believe our "baby girl" is 6 years old. She is a very sweet loving girl. She is very smart, a little too smart sometimes. She loves her brothers and is so good with them. Sean and I are very lucky to call her our daughter.
Here are a few things about Killian at age 6:
1. Favorite Food: Chinese
2. Favorite Class: Gym
3. Favorite Movie(s): Barbie and the Popstar, Hotel Transylvania and both Despicable Me 1 amd 2.
4. Favorite Color(s): Pink, Blue and Purple
5. Favorite Restaurant: Buffalo Wild Wings
6. Favorite Song: Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland.
7. Favorite Book: Magic Tree House books
8. Favorite things to do: Play with her iPad (it's actually a Leap Pad), arts and crafts, go crazy with her brothers and read.

That's as far as we got in the car before she told me she wanted to sing her Christmas music and not have to keep thinking. Yes, that's my girl!

Wiggly Teeth

Killian's 2 bottom front teeth have been wiggling like crazy these last few weeks.

Well never mind as I typed that sentence Sean yanked 1 tooth out.

1st Tooth to "Fall" out

I sat away from them practically dry heaving. I am not a fan of wiggling other people's teeth. And I have never pulled any of my own teeth. I was the ever patient child who let the teeth fall out while eating.

Note the Blogger screen behind the hands??

And now he is trying to yank the other tooth out. Killian is trying to convince him to wait so she can have 2 nights of surprises. She is being very persistent, and is trying to tell him no without opening her mouth. She is cracking me up with her reasons to not pull it.

Not quite sure about this!

Here are some samples:
2 nights of presents
I just want to go to bed
I will miss 2 teeth, 1 is okay. But not 2!
I want to try to whistle

All these were said from the corner of her mouth while trying to stay clear of Daddy.

Her big teeth are already through the gums...Looks like an expensive mouth

"Daddy catch my tooth!"

And now there's the 2nd tooth gone! Sean just asked "Is there any other wiggly teeth???"

I guess the tooth fairy better run to the fairy ATM.

Sleep Like a Baby

I love looking back at baby pictures. I forget how small they were. I definitely think there is a family resemblance. Okay fine...there is a Sean resemblance!

Birthday Boy (and Girl)!

It's hard to believe that Jameson is already two years old! We were lucky enough to have Grandma Graff and Uncle Dan here to visit and celebrate his birthday, But the best part is that Grandma Graff and Jameson share their birthday.
Sean grilled some chicken, salmon and shrimp. This was no ordinary fish, we used it for fish tacos with jalapeno slaw and sauce. It was so good! I love when Pinterest recipes work well. For dessert we had cake (that Killian made the day before), a giant cookie for Jameson and brownies for Grandma Graff. I think having numerous birthday treats should be a new tradition.
Jameson was once again a very happy birthday boy. We did make one BIG mistake and let him open a present that we knew he would love first. Sean had to quickly "help" him open all the other gifts while Jameson kept reaching for his beloved gift. Even worse, we had to open package and put batteries in it too.

The famous first present...what is it???

Yes, it's a VACUUM!

Did I mention he loves this vacuum???

Race Day

Killian participated in the St. Patrick's Day Race again this year. She was very excited because PaPa Craig was going to be in town visiting the newest grand baby so he agreed (or was forced) to run with her.
