Chillin with the GMan...

We had a great time playing with our cousin Garrett on Saturday:) As you can see. We ate at Pizza Ranch, where unbeknownst to us, if you are 2 - you eat free! Woo Hoo! Who knew? Anyway, after that, Rach and I took the kiddos to Penn School park. Way cool. And then home for a nap. In K's Dora bed, of course...

The life we lead...

Here is what we do in our spare time. Play princess with Grandma Julie and hide and seek with Rach. Fun times:)

Girl time!!!! Woo Hoo:)

Kennedy loves to play with her friend Addie. They get along so well. They loved playing Ring Around the Rosie!!!They ALL FALL DOWN!!! And I couldn't pass on this photo that I came across the other day. K was sitting on her Dora couch in nothing but a diaper and her new boots that Gma Julie got for her. The girl loves her boots I guess:)

Go HawkEEEEEs. That's how we say it anyway!

We went to Kid's day at Kinnick this weekend. Maybe a trial run for a hawkeye game. Maybe just an excuse for cheaper stadium food. Can't beat the prices on Kid's day... Basically K and I left after a little over an hour because it was mega hot and a teensy bit boring. We'll see...but I must say she did look awfully precious in her Hawkeye gear:)With Daddy in front of Nile Kinnick. With Mommy and Daddy in front of Nile. Thanks Per Mar guy for taking our pic:)

Drinking juice w/ Daddy. After drinking half of mom's lemonade.

I don't think I need to spell out how cool she thought this was...the look on her face tells the tale...

Beach Baby.

We took Kennedy to the beach for the first time and I must say it was GREAT! Much more laid back than the pool - more to do, I guess. She very much enjoyed playing in the sand - and she could throw the sand in the water - which she is always trying to do at home and I constantly have to tell her to keep the sand in the sand box:) It was nice b/c Jon and I could sit out in the water and just watch her play in the sand. Then it started raining. So we quick ate our picnic lunch and headed home - just in time for naps. 3 hour naps by the way!

Fireflies, Monkeys, Fish, Bunnies & Donkeys...is that enough for one weekend?

We started last weekend by helping Papa Brian celebrate his bday. After dinner at the Wig, we went to the Miller's house. I am sooo amazed by how Addie and Kennedy play together. There was no crying or fighting, but just pure playing. They shared the riding toys, the dress up clothes and the babies. Amazing. Here is a picture of Papa and the girls looking for lightening bugs. I think they found one:)

This is Kennedy sharing a cup of water w/ Addie. Addie only had a diaper on, so I didn't feel right posting pics of her, but man there are some cute ones, you'll just have to trust me.

Here is Kennedy posing w/ a 5lb bass that Papa caught at Grandma Fae's. Kennedy is sooo not afraid of fish, unlike me. She wanted to hop right up on his lap to get a closer look...

In this picture, Kennedy is looking for monkeys. No, there are no monkeys in my grandma's yard, but Kennedy was sure she would find some. She was yelling, "monkey! where are you?" over and over again...too cute. not to mention how brave she was standing on this wood fence all alone.

This week is the 4H fair in Johnson County, IOWA. Yes, there is one in Indiana as well, trust me, I googled it and was all set for the fair last week, however that was in Indiana...my bad. I didn't get many pics, b/c I was sooo busy chasing K and telling her to get her hands (actually, entire arms) out of the sheep pens. She was going crazy over the sheep. Trying to hug and kiss them all. They just ran from her as best as they could. Here is a bunny.

and a donkey. She squealed at it and it tried to run away. terrified of a little peanut..

Big Girl at the park:)

We found a really cool park (thanks Jen!) and it is sooo nice! It has 2 play things and then lots of room for picnics and SUPER BONUS - it has public restrooms. Like real ones. Cool, huh? It was a little chilly, but we still managed to have a blast. And then Grandma Julie and Garrett came to have a picnic. Kennedy taught Garrett how to go down the big slide...fun times:
