Summer Fun

Brady has really taken to the boat this summer… I hoped that he would want to try wake boarding but maybe next year!  He loves driving the boat with Andy and jumping off the platform and swimming around.  His swimming has really improved with all the time we spend at the pool and lake!

 Kenzie likes riding on her little bike and Brady likes pushing her around the driveway and the block occasionally.

Sno-Cone?

Brady's summer obsession is sno-cones!  He wants to make them everyday and set up sno-cone stands all the time.  The neighbors are great sports and always come buy from him when he gets out there.  Not sure what he is saving all that sno-cone money for...

10 Months Old

Kenzie Rose turned 10 months old while we were in FL.  

She is crawling all over the place (but still an army crawl) and pulling up a lot- I even found her standing in her crib the other afternoon.  She says Dada, Mama, Baba & Da (dog).  

Kenzie is happy and playful, demanding with food and when she wants to be held.  She seems to be the loudest in church, when we sing she thinks she should too!  She still has just the 2 teeth but the Dr assures me she can see 6 more coming in.  Kenzie loves the water (pool, lake or bath) and liked playing in the sand at the beach too.

Brady still adores her but is getting a little protective of his toys now that she is getting around so fast. :)

Pig Farm

Yesterday afternoon we got to go visit the Bishop pig farm.  Mr. Shane is friends with Mr Bishop so we got an up-close and personal tour of the pig farm- and the 40 hour old piglets!

 Look how big he is for less than 2 hours old! In 6 months, he will weigh 150+ pounds!!

 Mama pig has to stay in this little contraption for a few days so she doesn't roll over on the babies, all she can do it stand up and lay down.

 Is she smiling at me?

 These little guys were so cute- the pictures don't do them justice at all!

Pony Party

On Saturday we went to Bella's 6th birthday party at her house.  It was a pony party… with 3 really ponies!! Crazy!

The kids got to ride the ponies in the front yard and then go swimming in the backyard… what more could a kid ask for?

Happy Birthday Bella!

Kenzie Rose can pull herself up!

When I got home from work yesterday, Brady and Miss Valerie told me that Kenzie pull herself up on a toy!  She wasn't willing to perform for me yesterday (when I get home, she thinks I should hold her ALL OF THE TIME), but she showed off her new skill this morning.  Yea Kenzie!

Camping at Inks Lake

We finally got out to go camping again- we missed the last group camping trip because Kenzie was only a few months old.  This time we figured 9 months was old enough- or so we hoped! 

We bought a new tent (one that we can all fit in), packed the car and hoped for the best.  Everything went great! Grammy picked perfect camp sites right on the lake, the tent was huge with lots of windows and held up great to the little rain storm we had and Kenzie slept! We went hiking, and fishing but I think everyone enjoyed playing in the lake the best. 

We had a wonderful time!
