What a nice day :)

Gav had a great second day of school :) He came home so happy today and said he had more fun today than he did yesterday. That made me happy! He did a scavenger hunt, sang songs, had story time, and bought his lunch at school (even though I packed him a lunch this morning) all by himself. I am so proud of him and happy that he is enjoying this new part of his life.

With Gav at school for 3 hours, and Kenna napping most of the time he is away I find myself getting a lot done. Today I cleaned the house, and completely made dinner, then had time to sit down on the couch and flip through the channels. It's nice having quiet time :) Anyway, since dinner was already made, all I had to do was stick it in the oven, and voila! We ate early tonight and then went for a walk around the neighborhood, and played at the park for a little bit.

When I downloaded the pictures, I guess I unplugged the camera before all the pictures were on the computer, and I only got like half of them :( Sucks. They're all deleted off the camera.. I'm not sure how it all happened but anyway here are a few pics from our walk...

Getting situated before we left

Gav thought she was falling, so he put his arm around her

Kenna is cutting two more teeth so she looked like this the whole time...

My sweet boy

My crazy girl

Oh! And yesterday I grabbed my pink nail polish and painted Kenna's toe nails... they're kind of messy because I had to do it fast! But from far away they look fine :)

Wordless Wednesday

Here are some pictures I snapped of the kiddos at the park yesterday...

Can you believe this is the only picture I got of the two of them together? They don't like to cooperate with Mommy's photo shoots!

Fourth of July

Happy {late} 4th of July!!!

We had some crappy weather here on Saturday, which totally messed up our plans for going to a local festival and having a good time. But yesterday we did cook out {love that!} then watched fireworks! It was fun :) Here are a few pics...

Pool & Movie Date

I had a pool/movie date today with two very handsome boys and one of my best girl friends :) We went to see Toy Story 3... which was very good, I might add. I will also add that I cannot wait to see the movie Despicable Me. I laugh histerically every time I see the preview for it and am very much looking forward to having another movie date with these handsome boys when it comes out.

After the movie, we headed home to change into our swim suits, then spent a good couple of hours at the pool, eating pizza and soaking up the sun. Can't wait to do it again soon :)

Busy little bees

I don't know why, but for some reason I just love this picture of the kids. It's just a snap shot I took of them sharing Gavin's little cars chair but it makes me smile :)

Anyway, on to the post! After doing absolutely nothing yesterday. Well, I take that back, Kris and I watched the movie Valentine's Day in between the mounds of laundry that were being done. But other than that, we did absolutely nothing. So by the time 5 o'clock rolled around, I needed to get out of the house. There is a festival going on here this weekend called The Taste Of Addison & we decided to try it out. There was yummy food, good music, and family fun.

Gavin found a few bounce houses...

(wish I had a better picture!)

Then a fountain to play in!
Which he LOVED.
It was a good time. After stuffing our faces, we came home and passed out. We had to be up bright and early this morning for a Tball game at 9am, and had a busy day planned.

I tried to come home and take a short nap but that wasn't what the kiddos had in mind. So to the back yard we went! Here is a picture of Kenna being loud and making funny faces...

There's my sweet girl :)
Today is a day Gavin had been waiting weeks for. We had a play date planned. We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese for a few hours this afternoon, then went to see the new Shrek movie.


Here is a picture of Gavin cheesin' pretty big, and showing off the new Shrek cup he got!

& This is Gavin and his buddy Xavier.

The kids had a lot of fun today. We got home about 8 o'clock and they both passed out pretty quick. I love fun days out with the family :)

Pool Time :)

Our neighborhood pool just opened on Monday so we took the kids out for a swim this morning :)

Gavin on Daddy's shoulders!

I love this shot of my smiling boy :)

This is an all time fav! It will definitely be put in a frame :)

Babygirl's new favorite face to make. Aahh :o
So funny!

Love love love this! Theres the 'aahhh' face again!

Another frame-worthy photo!

We had a good hour and a half at the pool this morning by ourselves (I hate when its crowded with a bunch of people). Then we came home and made yummy quesadillas for lunch. It was a good day with my little family :)
