Kennedy is Pulling Up!

June was a busy month!  I just went blogging crazy so be sure to check out all six posts I created today!!!

Kennedy has a new trick she wants to show you!

You want to come along?

I think I can make that

Oh, that's a great start Kenny

Almost!

Yep, that's right, I learned to pull up today, June 28th!

I can also get down by myself.

Oh and I am crawling pretty good now, yay!

That is a lot of growing up in a short amount of time!  It sure happens quick, but it is so exciting and they also love the new independance as well!

Good job Kennedy!

Brock's Birthday Party

Last Saturday Linc was invited to Brock's 3rd birthday party.  They had the party at a fun little park close to their house called castle park, just like ours.  Linc was so excited to go play outside and there was a nice breeze!

Off he goes!

Brock, the birthday boy!

Kennedy and I enjoying the sun!

Kennedy's favorite is by far the swing!

What is better than diggin!

The cake was so cute, cat in the hat!

We had a great time and Linc enjoyed playing at the park.  It has been so hot that he has not had much time at the park.  Most of our parks don't have enough cover to keep you cool while playing, so he enjoyed his time!  Happy Birthday Brock!

Happy Father's Day

June 19th was Father's Day.  We all headed to Allen to celebrate at my aunt Kaye's house.  We all enjoyed a wonderful bbq lunch and yummy cake!  Here is my grandpa holding the cake, it looks like someone had a pre-taste, maybe Linc, haha!

It was beautiful, pics had to be taken!

Here are all the dad's minus my brother who had to work, poor guy!

Craig's 1st father's day with two kids!

Love you sweet baby K!

My dad got my grandpa a computer for Father's Day so he could stay up to speed with Skype, the Internet and my blog!

After presents, we headed out to the pool.  Lincoln was really enjoying putting his face in and jumping from the side.  He really enjoys the water!  Kennedy also enjoys the water but she was sure tuckered out and had to get in a quick nap.  I was even able to change her diaper and she didn't wake, that's how worn out she was!

Lincoln is our little fish!

Grandpa, Linc and Ryan.

My dad is currently doing a detail in Washington DC for work and is gone Monday thru Thursday every week.  When I was younger, I remember him traveling a lot like this for work.  While I did miss him a lot, I always remember that my dad was there for the moments that truly counted. I remember him coming to my school fully dressed in uniform to bring me McDonald's at school and he would sit with me in the cafeteria and I felt so proud.  He sacrificed living in the same state with us so that I would not be moved around in my high school years.  One thing is for sure when it comes to my dad, he has always provided for our family in the biggest way possible.  He did anything in his power to make sure us kids had the best life possible.  He set a very good example of what a hard working Dad should be.  I love you so much Dad and I thank you for all the sacrifices you made to make our lives better.  I know that you still strive to do this and that is why your are in DC now.  We all can't wait for you to be settled back home again.  

We all love you Craig.  You are an awesome dad and wonderful husband. You have a soft spot for your babies and I love how they adore you.  I am so glad you were chosen for me and for my babies.  I know days can be rough sometimes with the terrible threes and an infant, but I know at the end of each day you wouldn't trade it for the world.  We love you so much Daddy!

Happy Father's Day!

Playdate with Caiden

On June 17th, Kennedy and I went out to Lantana to have a playdate with Jennifer and Caiden.  We decided to head out early so that we could get in the pool and enjoy most of the day.  Kennedy was a good girl and slept the whole time and was excited when we got there. Here is Jen and Caiden getting ready for the pool!

Someone loves mommy!

Kennedy wanted to hang out in Caiden's jumparoo for a bit!  It looked like so much fun, well that is because it is just like yours!

Caiden wanted to come join the fun!

By the time we all got changed we were starving!  Kennedy just wanted to get moving and screamed the whole time for the short ride to get some to go food.  Caiden's face says it all! He is not sure what is going on, haha!

We finally got to the pool and it was awesome.  I love that they have a beach entry and it is not over crowded.  All the people are nice and the kids are well behaved and careful around babies.  Caiden and Kennedy had matching floaties and enjoyed cruising around the water.  We also all enjoyed wading in the water and standing in the water.  It was a beautiful and hot day!  Kennedy was ready to crawl all over that grass!

One thing is for sure, swimming wears kids out! When we put the kids in the car, I knew Kennedy would be out in 5 seconds!

We had a fun time hanging out with Jen and Caiden and can't wait to hang with them again at the Zeta Playdate in July!
