Kennadee's Hand Washing Opera

So sometimes I wish that I had a built in camera in my head that I can push record when Kennadee does something cute. Today I was using the bathroom and Kennadee said "Now when you are done you turn on the water and washa washa washa hands and then you get the soap and you washa washa washa hands". I asked her to do it again so I could get on film so she did but it isn't as cute as it was the first time!!

P.S. Please excuse the messy bathroom counter LOL

Library Post

So some of you have said that the video in the Library Woes post is not working. I have now reposted it so it should work. Check it out it is hilarious. And if it still doesn't work if ya'll will let me know I would appreciate it!!

Library Woes

Yesterday Russell and I were going to take Kennadee to the library (one of her favorite places in the world next to Chuck E. Cheese's of course!) Anyway Russell and I were puttering around the house getting ready and it was just too much for Kennadee to have to wait for us. She kept asking if it was time to go and we would say in a minute in a minute. Finally she had had enough and decided that she had waited long enough. 

" Mommy" she said " You are taking too long. I want to go to the library so I am just going to go by myself"

"How are you going to get there?" I asked " The library is far far away" 

" I will walk" She said

"That is too long of a walk. You will get very tired" I said

"Well then I will drive myself." she said " I am going to find the keys right now" 

After that I decided that I would turn on the camera and let her go. I had to film in two sections so when the first gets bright and white stop it and click on the second one:

Kennadee looks like me!!

I found this on my friend Marissa's blog and had to try it!!! It was really fun!!

* Our Fun Filled 4th Of July *

This is going to be a long post so be prepared!! We start out with getting ready for the day. We all got matching T-shirts from Wal-Mart and I did Kennadee's Hair all cute doesn't she look great? 

 

Well she had woken up a little shaky that morning and I was a little worried but didn't think much of it and off we went. We stopped to get some lunch and then were on our way again. While we were driving Kennadee was saying that she was thirsty so I gave her some water. She only took one sip so I encouraged her to drink more. She refused and I looked back and she was suddenly very pale. She said " Mom I need to puke in the potty" I said " Are you going to puke"? She said "no" and as she said that she puked all over herself. I didn't have any clean clothes for her in the car. (Despite twice thinking I should bring some and telling myself why should I? she never really gets herself messy anymore). Luckily we were by a T.J. Max so I ran in and bought her a new outfit. (because it was only 1.00 more for the outfit than it would have been for their cheapest T-shirt) When I came back out of the store she was doing much better so I put the new shirt on her and we went on our way. 

We went to downtown Austin to see what was going on down there. We had a reservation for a boat tour to watch the fireworks but that didn't start until 8:00 so we had plenty of time to kill. We found this park nearby so we went to check it out. Downtown Austin really cool they have a lot of really interesting buildings. 

The weather wasn't too bad so we walked around for awhile.

Once we were all too hot we decided to go to Wal-Mart to cool off. While we were there I got Kennadee another shirt so she would match us and then it was time to go to the boat. We boarded early so we could get good seats. Kennadee was so good. She was walking around talking to everyone. She made friends really fast. Their was a couple up at the front that had a big bag of kettle corn and they were sharing with her. She totally loved it. 

Also while we were waiting we saw a little turtle trying to climb up onto the dock and we saw some ducks that after awhile started quacking at us and splashing us.

This is what the boat we were on looked like:

Under the bridge lives about a million bats that come out at dusk so we got to see them all swarming out while we were on the water

And then once it got dark enough the fireworks started. It was really cool!! I loved the way the fireworks reflected off the water. I totally recommend this to everyone!! This was an awesome experience and the best 4th of July I've had in a long time!! The symphony was playing in the park on the shore so we could hear the music while we watched the fireworks. It was awesome. I got the finale on video so enjoy!!

I hope you all had an awesome 4th of July!! 

Give said the little stream!

At the fish hatchery they have this cute little stream that runs through the park I thought it was a great background for some pictures. Here they are:

Fun At The Fish Hatchery

While my Dad & Aileen were here this weekend we took them to the Steelhead fish hatchery in Hagerman. It was beautiful there. All the spring flowers were out, I saw this Red tulip in the middle of a bunch of yellow flowers on the side of the stream and I had to take a picture. It is a really fun place to go. You can go under the tanks and see the fish up close. Kennadee thought it was awesome. My Dad told her to say "hey dudes" to the fish so she kept saying that every time one swam by. It was so cute.

Russell's Graduation Party

Saturday we had Russell's graduation part. It was so much fun!!  Almost 50 people came!! It was so awesome. We felt loved to have so many of our friends and relatives there. It was really nice to visit with everyone and feel their love and support!! We had BBQ Beef sandwiches, Chips, Veggies, and I made a cake. We weren't sure we would have enough for everyone but thankfully a little bit went a long way!! It was fabulous and tons and tons of fun!! Thank you to everyone that came to support Russell we are deeply touched by the outpouring of love we received!! 

CURLERS!!

Sunday I decided to put Kennadee's hair in curlers and see how well it worked. She looked like a little housewife in her curlers and dress it was so cute!!! She did really well to keep them in. Since her hair is so short and thin it dried quickly so she only had to have them in an hour or so. She wanted to wear them in her hair for church it was hilarious!

After we took the curlers out I styled her hair. It was really curly!! I tried to get a good picture but none of them turned out very well below is the best picture I could get of her hair after the curlers. It was really cute. And the curls stayed in until the next day so unlike her mommy her hair hold curl really well!!
