Appropriate cousin relationships?

Kyle adores his cousin kalani! She conveniently lives across the street from us. Kyle and Lani spend most days together, and they have a very special friendship. A few weeks ago Cheryl had to go out of town, so Kyle and I volunteered to take care of Lani overnight. Kyle was overcome with joy at the thought of Lani being near him for a consistent amount of time.

Kyles first sleepover.......

We sincerely hope that Kyle will not be inviting ladies to spend the night in our guest-room EVER again!!!

Just thought I would add a cute one of Brody sleeping in his crib. Ahhh sweet dreams everyone!

The Yellow Dress Last week I was doing some easter shopping in "Ross", I took Kyle with me, I was very focused on what I was doing, and was'nt paying much attention to Kyle who was raking through all the girls clothing. Without warning he approached me with arms full of yellow netting, he proceeded to ask me..... "mommy, can we please, please, PLEASE buy this for Lani???" I took the dress out of his hands and turned to put it back on the rack, when he said... " I really wanted to take her to the dance!!!" Trying not to laugh, I bent down to his height, and before I could get a word out, He looked me in the eye and said.. " I want to be her partner!!" I examined the dress (and price) and figured that I could not let $10 stand in the way of innocent true love! So we purchased the special dress, and took it round to the "lady of the hour". Lani recieved the dress with much dramatic expression, and many squeeks of delight. It was at this moment, that we realized that we were indeed going to have to provide a dance for our love struck toddlers.

The planning began, and slowly things started to esculate into a sit down dinner, with menus, and waiters, not to mention, a back-drop for pictures etc etc. I asked Kyle if he was still planning on taking Lani to the dance and he said (very matter of fact) " I don't have a car or a man-suit!"





Mark could not let his boy go to his first dance without a "man-suit", So he bought a lovely suit for Kyle on his way home from work.



The Junior Spring Ball (the event of the year)

Venue: cheryls backyard

On the day of the dance, Lani was the perfect princess, but Kyle was very tired and grumpy, after all that effort, Kyle refused to dance with his maiden. We still think they look adorable!





We Love you Kyle and Lani

We hope you will always be close (maybe not quite as close!!) xxx
