Family Photos...

Lots of pictures but we love our kids... aren't they photogenic! Don't you love the outfits! THANKS MANDI for letting us borrow them! Happy 4th of July!

July 4th- 2 celebrations...

July 4th 1959 Nana and Papa got married... 50 years later they have three kids, two grandkids and two great grand kids! We celebrated with a bbq at Barney and Milissa's! Family and friends came from far and wide. Ages spanned from Uncle Jack (Papa's dad's brother) to Kaylah. We rented the clubhouse to escape the heat, ate bbq and even had a "wedding" cake since they didn't have one 50 years ago. After all the friends left and we cleaned up, we headed to the house for a champagne toast and time with just the family. Then after everyone left, we busted out with mudslides and tequila sunrises! A fun time was had by all!










Kyndahl even convinced Uncle Marc to take her swimming... without a swim diaper or swimsuit! We went with a onesie and a regular diaper... but she had a blast!

Fire Trucks

Tuesday nights kids eat free at Chick-Fil-A and if you go to the new one on Texas Ave in College Station, they have fun things for the kids to do from 5-8pm. Tonight they had fire trucks that the kids could climb in and look around. Kyndahl loved the lights but DID NOT like the "mascot". It was a big dog dressed like a fireman and she thought it was scary! But she liked to "drive drive" the truck all by herself!David and her climbed in the "back seat" and she touched the helmets and jackets they wear. The firefighters were really great about showing her all the fun hoses and latters. They even posed for a pictured with Kyndahl and David.







While we were there, eight Black Hawks and two Chinooks flew over! She loved watching them and wanted "more" to come!

Matthew turns 5!

My god son turned 5 on July 25 and we had a party at the Bounce! Kyndahl had a good time playing with Peyton in the balls
and on the toddler area slide....
but then decided she needed to climb the big kid slide!

She did great climbing up and then sitting down to slide but once she started down the BIG slide, she flipped over on her tummy and came on down! We had a great time! HAPPY BDAY MATTHEW! WE LOVE YOU!

Swimming in the front yard

Lots of fun in the sun!! We have had a blast playing in the pool in the front yard. Kyndahl absolutely loves it! She even likes to sit in it empty when we go outside. One day we actually took out all her safari animals and they had to play too! Then Gizzy and Spike had to play on the next time out! Kaylah sits in her bouncy and watches all the fun sister has! Kyndahl would go from the pool and take a break to ride her "bike". Its really cute when she rings the bell. One of the days we decided to water the yard while we were plyaing in the pool so we got the sprinkler out. Kyndahl kept saying it was "raining". She thought is was really funny and "tickled" when she touched it with her hand!! Kyndahl will finally laying down in the pool and will even blow bubbles in the water.

Father's Day 09

She adores her Daddy!
Playing Wii just like Daddy!
Loving on Papa B
And Daddy... aren't they cute in their matching dresses! Don't you just love that smile! Happy Father's Day David! Love you!

Texas Reds Fest

Was hot hot hot! We headed out to the Red Fest with lots of sunscreen and water. We didn't eat any steak or drink any wine but Kyndahl had a blast at the kid's section. She loved the petting zoo... rabbits...
Goats,

Horses, ducks, mini pigs and so much more!

Plus she got to sit on the steps of the real train!
Being silly with Uncle Marc!

Day at Library

There was a "carousel horse" at the library today... so we had to go. Kyndahl is obsessed with "neigh neigh"s right now! She neighed all the way to Austin and back! There were also roosters and the police K9 unit. Everyone put on a show and she had a blast! It is so much fun to get to go to all of these things with the girls. I wish I could do it all year round!

Pool with KayLeigh and JJ

It is HOT in TEXAS! Kyndahl loves the water so we thought we would take her and KayLeigh swimming and cool down. I had to get in a swimsuit just in case K would not let KL take her in... and I ended up spending most of the time in the water. But it is ok, it is hot and it was nice to cool down. Kay and JJ sat with Grams and watched us play. We all had a good time but K was hungry and tired and ready to head home after about 30 mins!

Children's Museum

We finally made it to the museum! Sally and I tried to take her last week but did not know exactly where it was... I was a little confused and had been given some bad information about the location. So after a little research, KayLeigh, JJ and I took the girls and became official museum members. Kyndahl had a blast in the grocery store and in the two and under room.

KayLeigh painted the VW bug and had fun climbing the rocket ship with Kyndahl. We listened to Reading Rocks and they read Kyndahl's favorite book... "I can do it".
But her actual favorite part was putting coins in this and letting them go round and round! She laughed and laughed!!

Texadephia...

we all crave it and have to have it while in Austin. Plus it gave us all time just to be a family and not have to rush around to get things done and see everyone! But we have to take pictures before everyone heads back out of Texas to... North Carolina, Maryland and Connecticut.
