Happy Birthday, Kylie!

The Birthday Girl!

It's Kylie's 7th birthday today! Yup--she was born on my brother and SIL's wedding day--the exact day. Not sure of the time, though. Kylie is so sweet--we wish we could celebrate with her today, but we were glad to spend some time with her a few months ago and over the holidays. Have a wonderful birthday, Kylie! We love you!

When we were in Korea a few years ago, we went to this theme park kind of place where there's this big elephant show. Here's Kylie feeding an elephant a banana. Those trunks are strong ... and hairy, too!

Speaking of hairy ... funny story from the same trip. We were at another park near the ocean or something and were walking down this trail. I was holding Kylie's hand, and she asked me, "Auntie Karen, why is there hair on your arms?" LOL! Gotta love that smooth Asian skin!

Back to the elephant show ... Tanna and Kylie got to be a part of it. I don't remember if they volunteered or were selected to participate, but they got to lie down on the arena floor, and an elephant walked over them! Pretty cool!

Last summer, after Kate was born, Kylie and her family came from California to visit. Kylie brought Kate a Baby Bible Storybook--wasn't that sweet? Here are the two cousins back then--Kate was just a few weeks old.

  3. Don't hold your breath for Kate to get that smooth Asian skin. I'm half Korean too and my sister and I both got our dad's hairy arms :-( Maybe Kate will get lucky!

  5. How did Tanna get picked instead of Kylie's father? Did his brother push him up front? LOL

  6. haha ... Susan, if I remember correctly Mike had Eric (Kylie's little brother, who was only a year old at the time). I don't think they went to the show.
