Kiara the entertainer

Kiara is always coming up with the funniest phrases and one-liners. Here are some of my current favorites:
  • Ooh, yummioso

  • The E Flat on our piano doesn't work and Kiara knows this but the other day she tried to play it and when it didn't work she said "Oh no, the piano needs new batteries!" That's her answer to everything that she deems to be broken!

  • "My boven broke" (She was referring to her toy oven)

  • "Come on, vamanos, mama!"

  • "Ooh la la, my family is posh!"(she got this one from Fancy Nancy)

  • Kiara: "What does Bunny Bear (her favorite stuffed animal) say, Mommy?"
    Mom: "He says 'roaaaaar.'"
    Kiara: "No he says 'hop, hop, hop!'"

Watch out Tiger Woods!

Last weekend we took Kiara miniature golfing for the first time and she loved it!
Ben tried to help her at first but she quickly wanted to prove that she could do it on her own (she's very independent, just like her mom)!
After trying it the "correct" way a time or two she decided to ditch the club and just put the ball in the hole herself. She's very resourceful!
After golfing we decided to move in to the arcade and play some games in there. Kiara loved playing basketball with Ben. She is his biggest cheerleader!

We were just about ready to leave when Kiara convinced Katie to try and win her some candy in one of those claw machines. It took a few tries but Katie's stubbornness paid off in the end when we walked away with 3 packages of candy! Kiara did a little victory dance to show her excitement!
We had a great night together as a family and can't wait to go back soon (only next time we might just skip the golfing and go straight to the candy)!

Six Flags

We went to Six Flags last weekend and had a great time.
We still haven't found a ride that scares Kiara. She definitely got her bravery from Ben because I am kind of a wimp with rollercoasters.

It was great weather and not crowded at all. Kiara loves mascots and characters of any kind so she was so excited to walk in and see Bugs Bunny and his friends walking around.
It was a great day!

So it's official...

...I am addicted to the Sonic Happy Hour. I get the same thing every time: a large Cherry Coke with extra ice and it never lets me down.
I love it when I'm out driving and notice it's after 2:00 because then I can justify going and getting one of these beauties for half price. It really makes my day!
Ben jokingly says I need to see someone about my "problem." Maybe tomorrow...today I'm enjoying it too much!

Families Can be Together Forever

Kiara loves music and singing. Here she is singing her favorite hymn, Families Can be Together Forever.
(Don't mind the frizzy hair, we were having a bad hair day!)

I am a Child of God

We watched the Pixar Play Parade in California Adventure every day we were there. Kiara loved all of the music and costumes. Here is a clip of her reaction. She is too cute!
