We went to the Producers’ Co-Op today. Kennedy picked up this contraption, mainly because it was pink, decided she wanted to wear it, and then said, “Mommy, what is this?” I told her to hold on a sec because I wanted to take her picture first.
Then I explained that it’s a horse harness. For a horse with a head as big as our tiny Kennedy.

I hope her other students are more responsive than this one.
[Look at Cooper's eyes, like, "Seriously?"]

Kennedy wanted to wear some of my make-up this morning. I think here she has a little powder and some lip gloss, maybe some eye shadow that also doubled as blush.
She does her own make-up. At least for now.

I am so thankful we got to go to the beach for my birthday weekend. The kids, Kevin & I joined my parents and my sisters for a few days. We hadn’t been all summer, and when we left we had already planned our next trip. To say “we had so much fun” would be such a trite expression, but it’s completely true. Although I couldn’t get my foot wet [so I didn't get to go swimming], I did put a big garbage bag over my foot so I could walk to the beach and hang out to read a book. Beach, book, seafood & family… it doesn’t get much better than that.
So, this is a pic Kevin took from his NEW iPhone4. I got to blow out a pillar candle. [rather, my beautiful children helped me blow it out] :) Then we had homemade ice cream and brownies for my birthday treat. YUM.
I think I finally “get” that birthdays and special occasions are more about Who and How-Often you spend them… not the What and How-Much.

Kennedy asks to ride her bike at least 3 times per day. She is very quick to go get her helmet before she rides. Today, however, she wanted to ride after her bath, but it was too late and very dark outside (plus she was already clean!); instead she modeled her helmet for me.
[I actually think she has it on backwards there...]

Today when we all got in the elevator, I thought we were going to be stuck.. the kids fought over who got to push the button, so when I lifted Kennedy up to push the button, she refused to push the correct one. Then the elevator shifted uneasily and I started praying… I pushed the button to go down and the elevator shifted again but in the direction of down. Thankfully. Makes me question bringing the stroller again.

This picture shows Kennedy singing into a shower head in the middle of HEB. I can’t decide what’s more cute – her singing into a shower head and thinking it was a microphone, or her singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider”.

Ahh I’ve been outta pocket a while, obviously… so I’m not even going to attempt to title it as the picture of the day! Last night we fired up the sprinklers in the back yard and the kids had a blast getting all wet. Here’s a few pictures.

Just after swimming and taking a bath, the kids settle in to watch tv, and I snap a picture.

I’m noticing how long Kennedy’s hair is getting. Don’t see her getting a haircut anytime soon, though. :)

We have the privilege of hosting 2 students from Germany for a few weeks. They are here with a team from their church in Siegberg.
Meet Marina.
And Christine.
My kids have fallen in love with them already.

Alicia and I talked about taking a trip to the Houston Zoo on one of the 2 days she had a break from school. We decided on today, Kevin took off from work, and I learned just last week that today was also one of the zoo’s Free Days. So, I unexpectedly saved our family about $50 in admission costs. :)
Now time for the pictures. Most were taken on our air-conditioned picnic in the backseat of our van. (It was so hot outside; we drained all of our water pretty early and then refilled in the water fountain.)
Otherwise the pictures are pretty self-explanatory, if you’ve ever been to a zoo.
(This one of Carlee is kind of funny – Carlee was talking to and trying to hug this picture of a rhino, and then when I wanted to take her pic, she started running away from it.)

This pic serves double purpose – one, it is a great sky pic. Two, it is what Kennedy says every time she sees this water tower… If you’ve ever watched Blue’s Clues, you know what I’m talking about. And if you can’t see what she’s referring to, it’s the paw print on the water tower (which is actually a Tiger paw print, not a dog.)
