Finger Paints!

Nothing like a little early morning finger paint at the Katz Casa! We took egg cartons and filled them with different colors and the kids went to town. Great Gramma Dorothy turns 86 next Friday so Kai and Kohl wanted to paint her something special. We are going to bring her breakfast on her Birthday!

Kohlston was funny because he had to have a wet washcloth to wipe his fingers every few second. I thought boys liked to get dirty???
It was bright and early alright, they only have the top 1/2 of their pj's on!

Little man's masterpiece!Pretty, pretty princess's masterpiece!

They are BEAUTIFUL my little lovebugs! Gram is going to LOVE them :)

Lutz Preparatory

Kailey was accepted into Lutz Preparatory's Charter School VPK program this year! This is very exciting because Charter schools are based on a lottery. Since Kai is currently enrolled in the preschool she and Kohlston will be Grandfathered into higher grades. The school currently goes through 5th grade however, they have applied for an additional 6th grade. Each year they will apply for another grade hoping that it will go all the way through 12th.

LP had their first annual Breakfast with Grandparents last Friday!

Here are Kai and one of her B/F ready for their day!
Kohlston is currently on the EC3 waiting list which is the 3 year old class. He won't turn three until next June.

It was a nice event!

MOSI with Gigi Lynne!

This past weekend Gigi Lynne came down to play with us while Daddy took a trip back to our old stomping grounds (Tallahassee) for the FSU game. We went to MOSI, Museum of Science and Industry. This museum is amazing and has some of the most amazing hands on gadgets. We can't wait to go back and explore it again :) Here are a ton of pictures from our awesome adventure!

Gigi and Kohlston driving the delivery truck. They had to get all of these packages to their home. Hurry, hurry!!!
We didn't get a full picture of this optical illusion but the kids thought it was funny to put their head on this fruit platter!

Yup, Mommy thought it was pretty funny too!

Kailey at her first job ever! She is workingn at the Publix Deli serving me lunch! Mmmm it was yummy!

Gigi Lynne went grocery shoppinng and Kohlston is checking her out! This was cool because there is a wheel that you can turn to make the check out move. Then it's time to put the groceries in the basket.

Now it's Kohlston's turn to shop!

Rockstar jamming on the drums!

Gigi and Kai playing the piano!

Beautiful notes Miss Keeks!

Time for our self portrait! Kohlston wasn't interested in posing with us :)

Dinos!!! Kohlston LOVES dinosaurs!!

Little HAM!

Mommy laying on a bed of nails - ouch! Kai tried it and got off in tears :(

Gigi did it too!!! Brave ladies!

Wheelchair race! This was a little disturbing to actually visualize your loved ones in a wheelchair but it was just a game. Ok, I might have said a few prayers while watching :) That's the Mommy in me. Kohlston is helping Kailey up the ramp!

Gigi was a pro!

Gigi helping little man!

Our pilots, it was a bumpy ride! j/k

Watch out, here comes Firefighter Kailey and her crew!!!

WIND TUNNEL! Kids weren't so crazy about it but Mommy got in and last until the max - 80 miles and hour wind! YIKES! It was pretty scary to think of it in realistic terms of an actual hurricane or tornado - ahhh!

MOSI - we had a blast and can't wait to go back!!! There was so much more to explore :)

Kai's 1st Sleepover!!!

Kai and her two best girlfriends from Longleaf Learning Center were invited over for Kailey's VERY 1st sleepover!!! Unfortunately, Addison had a belly ache but there are many more to come! We made personalized baskets with matching bathing suits, popcorn cups, beaded necklaces, beads, bubbles, heart bracelets, gummies etc... The girls had a blast!

Ms. Kai-Kai and Ms. Bri-Bri
They were dancing in the kitchen. They take dance classes together (tap/ballet).

We put out the slip n slide and they swam like FISH in the pool! Doing handstands on the bottom of the pool and going down the slide.


Awe! How cute :)

They even gave little bro a little attention! He was in bed by 7pm though :)

Getting ready to make shell and bead necklaces!

They were so creative and had fun putting their own special touch to it.

Mom helped them make one for Addison too! We missed Addi!!!!

They managed to sleep though the night and popped up bright and early (5:40AM) letting us know they wanted to snuggle in bed. Mommy joined them but they weren't going back to sleep by any means. Sooooooooooo they sat in the office and finished their movie from the night before. Nomeo and Juliet - it was cute! Cuba enjoyed it too!

RISE AND SHINE!! Wild man is UP and at em'! He wants to know what he missed out on :)

Off to the YMCA for the girls very first Tball game. The SHARKS were awesome! Kai and Bri are both number 9 :)

I love Bri's pose!!!

GO KEEKS GO!!! You whacked that ball girl!! RUN BABY RUN!

Keep going girl!

Someone is PROUD to be on first base :)

Fun times!! Many more to come :)

Captain Memo's Pirate Ship!

We are ready to board the PIRATE SHIP!!! Arrrrrrr :)

We took the kids and their cousins to Clearwater Beach for a 2 hour excursion aboard Captain Memo's Pirate Ship and they loved it!!! Not only was it fun for us adults due to yummy (free) cocktails but they entertained the kids the entire boat ride. Games, treasure hunting, face painting, kiddy drinks, pirate stories and even water gun fights!

Just parked and stopped for a photo by the beautiful palm trees :)
We saw Captain Memo before boarding and got a quick shot of the kids.
