And, stay tuned for another video that we're working on. Colton surprised us all a few nights ago by pointing to the letter magnets on the fridge...and getting SIX OF THE SEVEN letters correct! Seriously?! I guess it really helps to have a big sister who's learning to read!
Kennedie and her 2 best buds at school, Kylee and Avery. Look at how tall she is! Her birthday is in November and these other two girls have birthdays in October and November...she's just so tall! Their teachers started calling them the 3 musketeers because they do everything together!
Kennedie with her sweet Apple and Kyle.
And here's our family. (Notice the grip I have on Colton's leg...I'm tickling him...the only way I can get him to smile for my family pictures!)
Yesterday we participated in the Fireman's 5K. We've been doing this for several years now, and Kennedie really looks forward to it. It's done in memory of 2 fallen firemen who died in a church fire in River Oaks. James has always run it with Kennedie in the jogging stroller. As big as she is now, she did convince her Daddy to let her ride in it again! Next year will be brother's turn. Colton and I walked the 1 mile course, so we had a little time to play while we waited for Daddy and sister. Dodger, the Fort Worth Cats mascot, was there and Colton warmed up to him quickly. They played catch and just hammed it up! Here's some fun pictures of that...
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my new camera?!
Hope y'all have a great Memorial Day! Remember to thank those who have served and are serving our country for your freedom...
And this picture CRACKS me up! Look at Kennedie...tongue in cheek (intense concentration), you can even see the fast movement of her controller...and yes, she IS an expert bowler on Wii...she has a higher overall average than both James and I! Then, look at my little ham! He has been taught well...I love it how he knows to pose when Mommy's taking pictures!!!
James had drill over the Mother's Day weekend (who plans that??) so the kids and I started the day out a church together. The service was so great and each of the kids made me something special! We later went to my parents to celebrate my mom. It was a great day!This was my 6th Mother's Day! I look back at pictures all the time of this precious baby girl that we were blessed with, and I'm just amazed at what a beautiful little girl she has become!
And here's my handsome boy today! He is such an absolute joy! He is talking so much now...Kennedie thinks it's hilarious when I call him my little mockingbird!
And here's one sweet one of 2 of the guys in my life!
I got an unexpected gift from James Avery from my parents (thanks guys!) and came home to open up this cool gift from my guy...
It's a really cool set of 4 bowls and they stack together to look like a blooming rose! I found them in a Sandra Lee magazine and fell in love with them! I sent the link to James, and look what the UPS man brought to me! Thanks honey!
And I'll leave you with a quick 'Kennedie-ism'... She was telling me all about her newest loose tooth and how adults cannot loose teeth because you only have one set of permanent teeth. I told her that you have to take care of your teeth and that I was actually going to the dentist the next day. She then says, "Well, you have to eat healthy things, like vegetables, oxidants and calories." Seriously?! I LOVE this girl!!!
