Cartoon about Mylie

Grandma sent a letter to Mylie with this comic included. It describes Mylie. I think the creator of the comic spies on our family for material.

Mylie is Cool

My daughter is so cool. She is the perfect mix of feminine beauty and tom boy. I walked in on her organizing her purse with her chapstick, pocket mirror, play cell phone and necklace. Then she loaded everything back into her purse, then shoved it inside her ninja turtle backpack and was ready to go.

Then a couple days later I walked in on her playing with her stuffed animals having a tea party. Then she said, “hey Dad. These plates are awesome ninja stars.” Then she threw the ninja star tea set plates at her animals.

Then a couple days later she asked me to come play house with her. The house was made out of hot wheels and I was supposed to the be the daddy semi-truck.

Then a couple days later she asked Andi to paint her nails while she watched Superman.

She is so cool.

Week of Birthday Fun!

Mylie's birthday was this past week and she turned 5!! I cannot believe that my baby is 5. She was so excited and wants to be big so bad. We had a great week celebrating with her.

On her actual birthday (Jan 27) we went to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a blast. We ate pizza, cotton candy, popsicles, care bear shaped rice krispy treats, opened presents and of course we played a lot. We ended up being there 3 hours!! It was a great day.

On Saturday we had a birthday party for her up in Longmont (Nana's house). With both families and some friends we had about 30 people there. It was very special for Mylie and she felt very loved. We had a fun day of roasting hot dogs, playing bocce ball, playing games, going on a treasure hunt, opening even more presents and eating cake and ice cream. Mylie had a great time with all of her family. She loves them all so much.

Cupcakes and Crystals

The last couple of weeks we have been working on all sorts of projects that Andrew and Mylie got for Christmas. Andrew got a crystal making kit and Mylie got a cupcake baking kit. Daddy help Andrew make the crystals. It was a quite envoled project and Andrew just thought it was the coolest thing ever. He had a fun time and was especially excited that it came with a set of gogles. He felt very offical. It has been fun to watch the crystals grow. I was just impressed that it actually worked!!


I got the better half of the deal. I helped Mylie bake her very own cupcakes. She did everything by herself (except for the clean up). She made very sure that I knew it was HER project. I thought she did a great job. With the help of Andrew she frosted them and she finished them off with of course sprinkles!! Maybe we have the next Martha on our hands. She was very proud of the final outcome. Yummy!!

Seven Years of Bad Luck and 15 Stitches

Mylie used Andi's long mirror for a slide down her bed yesterday and cracked the mirror in half. Seven years bad luck didn't take long to start. Five minutes after I came home for lunch, Mylie did a face plant onto our nightstand. She sliced a quarter inch cut in between her nose and lip. It looked deep, like a tooth went through. We called her pediatrician who said to bring her in instead of the ER. They checked and sure enough, it was cut straight through. They referred us to a plastic surgeon who sewed Mylie up. The inside of her mouth was really screwed up and took 12 stitches. The outside only had three stitches. The doctor was impressed that Mylie could sit still for the anesthesia shots. She was really tough. Tougher than me. I almost passed out.
