Kinsey's Preschool Party

I realize this is about a month and a half late, but someone just sent me these pictures. Kinsey had an end of the year safari party at preschool, it was so cute. They sang their songs and we got to make crafts together. I love to watch Kinsey interact with the other kids in her class and see how her manners/disposition change when we're in public. She's always a little shy at first and then opens up and does great.
I don't know why my eyes are bulging out of my head right here... but she was so proud of the habitat she made for her raccoon.

Outside Relief

We always go outside and play first thing in the morning, and by that I mean 6 am as Connor wakes up at 5 am bright and early, when it's not very hot out yet.  Connor LOVES outside, it's the first thing he wants, besides daddy and a bottle.  Anyway, this morning we're all outside, I'm eating a bowl of cereal so I don't get really sick, Connor's playing on the tramp, and Kinsey says, "Mom, I have to go potty!" I told her to go in and use the potty.  Before I know it she's stripped off her jammie bottoms and panties and is standing up doing her deed, and has pee all over her!  Maybe, now that she realizes she'll be covered in pee if she goes standing up, we won't have this problem anymore.  But, in all honesty, I don't think she really minded.  She just hosed off and was on her merry way.  What is it with boys, and now Kinsey, peeing outside? 

Summer Visit to Texas

We had a great trip to Texas for the past 10 days. It was really nice to go home again and relax. The kids love going and getting to see grandma, grandpa, the boys, and all the cool toys.

We took a day trip to visit Fossil Rim, you take a drive and all different kinds of animals come up to the car so you can feed them. It's pretty awesome.

Dustin looks real happy here.

Kenedi is getting so big and is such a cutie.

This ostrich attacked Audrie right in the crotch. It was pretty hilarious.

Grandma, Grandpa, Kinsey, Connor, and I also visited the Dallas Zoo. We had a great time and the kids were angels.

Mowing the fields with grandma : ).

Connor's first horse ride, and he really enjoyed it. A man after my own heart.

Just about every morning the first words out of Kinsey's mouth were, "Can we ride horses?"

Love this pic.

One of the main reasons we took this trip at this time was for Nick's graduation. Congrats Nick!! We told him we'd give him 200$ if he tripped while walking across, but he chickened out.

I think this is Craig's way of coming out of the closet. Again, Dusty looks really happy; for some reason he won't smile in pictures. Silly boy.
