WARNING: TONS OF PICS AND VIDEOS!!!!
So, here's how our day went. About every half an hour all day long I would say, "Hey Kai" "What Mom?" "Happy Birthday buddy" "Thanks MOM!!!" It was funny, he had the same amount of excitement every time! I asked Kai what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said swim at the waterslide pool. So we went to his preschool class and then went swimming with a friend and then came home and got ready for the party. He had his shoes on 2 hours before we were ready to leave. He could hardly contain himself. Ok so I'll admit I was up to 3 am working on this dinosaur cake, but it turned out so cute even though I was super low on sleep the next day, to think I had thoughts about working on it during the day. Crazy really. We made little cupcakes with dinosaur sprinkles and plastic dinosaurs on top. He even got dinosaur balloons. On the way to his party he said to me, "Mom! Stop! I need a party hat!" Alright, random, but alright so I made a quick call, as rich was already at the party store filling balloons and by golly we had party hats. What the birthday man wants the birthday man gets right? He had 5 or 6 little friends there and he had great time playing all thee games. Peter Piper Pizza is a mini chucky cheese. Games, tokens, and pizza. The whole time Kai was begging us to sing the birthday song so he could tear into his cake and presents. The cake was destroyed in about five seconds. He dug into it with a fork and was literally shaking from frosting overload. He got a couple of spiderman toys, playdough, and a train set. He was so excited and on such a sugar rush from eating nothing but cake for dinner that he was up till 10:30 playing. He slept till 10 the next morning, can you say party hangover?!! He got a Jedi with a bunch of plastic guns, a picture of christ, and some illegally mailed fireworks from uncle Daniel while on his mission. What a combo right? We gave him a tee ball maching since he's signed up for that in the fall. Thanks everyone for making it so much fun for him! ps 2 Nights in a row with dry underwear!
I will never get used to the wardrobe changes that Kailer pulls out in his attempts to be superheros. He said to me, "Mom, I wished I can jump out the window and fly like high like a superhero." Don't worry, my windows are locked. His imagination lately is limitless. He also told me today, "Mom, I wished I could jump in that TV and fight those lions with my sword." We love animal planet. The sad thing was the lions were attacking a hippo trying to get it for their next meal. What a sweetheart right? OK, so maybe some things on animal planet are not so child friendly. On a side note Meili took her first 3 steps in a row yesterday. She was scaling the wall and the wall ended, so she let go, wobbled, balanced then lifted her right foot, 1, 2, 3 and then fell to her bum! She was so proud of herself. She can freestand in the middle of the floor without putting her hands on the ground, just using her legs. I'm not even sure if I can do that! She's growing up and I'm trying to embrace it once again. Wish me luck!
We spent last week swimming everyday at Green Valley Ranch's private resort pool. It had a sandy beach that was a gradual decline. Kai coud wade into it; he had such a blast! He loved playing in the sand and swam his heart out everyday. He's turned out to be quite the swimmer. Although, it has been proven that he cannot successfully do it on his own, he can swim about 6 strokes with his head underwater holding his breath. The problem becomes when he needs to come up for air. He is doing well and we are continually working with him. I can officially say, NO more 
On a side note, Meili is going to be 1 in a month and I can't even believe it. She loves to walk with us holding her hands and I can't wait for her to walk and stop being a human vaccuum. She eats everything off the floor and she gets so dirty! She is super sweet, crazy, and emotional all at the same time! What a little ball of hormones, poor girl.
