Our Big Weekend!

Kinsley is a fish....She wants to go to the pool all the time...."Poppa's Pool," that is! Don't even call it anyone else's pool - she knows who keeps it looking nice. It cracks us all up. Since it is already in the 90s here in Chattanooga - EVERYDAY! We spend a lot of our time at the pool. It's the only way to make it. Kinsley has started to swim around by herself and jump of the side off the pool - and I know a diving board would be easy for her too - if we had one. She has no fear, which, is very scary!

Asking me, to please get into the pool.....She could not wait.

Rachie swimming around with her.

She puts her hands under her chin to hold her head up out of the water. This is how she was when she first started to swim....plus mouth open!

Chatting with Poppa

Showing Poppa how she jumps into the pool.

Swimming around, showing off her new skills with her Auntie Rachie.

She cracks me, up....This face! I did the same cheesy face - just look at my baby book - ugh!

SUNDAY::::

We all went out to lunch and then came home to swim - Kinsley could not wait, she was undressed and already in with her Daddy byt the time I got done changing!

Cheese!

Mommy and Kinsley, she loves taking pics like these and then saying, "Let me see."

When I got out there, Gregg was teaching her how to swim....So she was ready to show off.

Our little fish!

Daddy has been building a deck on Saturday (and a bit on Sunday too); so he was so excited to spend it with his "punkin," has he has called her since she was born...She was so excited to have him around and to show off...She likes showing off....imagine that!

She loves to pretend she is sleeping....and without even saying anything - she decided to take a nap - it was cracking up....Then she laughs!

Get Ready....

Get Set....

Go!

Wow, Kinsley! She goes all the way under....and comes up laughing!

There she goes....This was the first time we let her go...Ok, Gregg let her go...I would probably still be holding her when she was 10! But, Daddies are brave, Mommies are not!

She was just a getting it....She was loving it....

The she decided to lounge around on this....a bit easier!

SCARY! Auntie Rachie - doing a bit of diving! hehehe

Kinsley decides to be like Rachie, of course!

What a relaxing day....She went all over the pool.

Hanging out in the pool. We are so proud of Kinsley, I know she will just keep getting better and better. It's hard to believe that she is only 2 sometimes!

The gang always plays Volleyball and Kinsley had to be in on it too....

She just hit the ball, and gets so excited! It's precious to see her in action!

Ready....

She is loving life!

Here she is resting a bit....She likes to sit on the Swing here and cheer for the group. BeBe had just went to get more ice and Kinsley and her were 'secretly' throwing it to everyone in the pool. She would die out laughing when she got someone. She had a blast!

Here are some videos of today....I just had to show you guys, in action!

Camden's First Birthday Party!

Well it is hard to believe that Kelly's littlest boy has just turned ONE! But he did. Kinsley was so excited to go to the birthday party - especially since it was a cool swim party! Kelly has always wanted to have a summer baby to have fun outside; especially in the pool - but dang, the weather was so hot. But of course, Kinsley loved every single second of it!!!! She had a blast and the party was a complete blast!!!!

Kinsley, hanging out in the baby pool for a bit.

Crusing around in her car.

Kelly pulling her in a turtle.

Camden, ready to jump into his cake. He had a blast and kept offering Kinsley and I, bites! Kinsley was disgusted by his mess - since she is a person that can't get anything on her hands, even dinner without saying, "I need to go wash my hands."

Oh yum!

Back to the pool after the food.....to do a bit of tanning. BeBe keeps talking about my white legs!

Cruising again!

She had a lot of fun in the little pool - I am going to get Gregg to go get one for Kinsley, so we can have in the back yard....so when she gets hot - we can just cool off!

The present Kinsley got Camden, tons of Sand and Water Toys - Kinsley had a blast shopping for him. "He like dis (this)," she would say.

The only way I could get her to leave was to tell her, that we were going to BeBe's to swim again....She did not want to leave! It was a lot of fun, and it was good to see Kelly's family (my family from college).

Summer Fun

Well, I am recovering from surgery...4 days post and still feel great! No pain as of yet...but maybe I could milk it for a bit longer and see how long everyone will wait on me! hehe I still can't lift, though I have no idea why having sinus surgery requires no lifting - but then again I really do! Gregg has been pushing Kinsley and I have been taking pics of our afternoon outside! I just think we have the cutest kid, which is why I take pics all of the time...She probably thinks she is a celebrity! hehe
We are hoping to get out and about next week to start having some play dates with our friends! I am so excited about the summer and still can't believe that I have no kids for summer...This is why I became a teacher...all the free time with my family!!!! hehe

Checking out the airplane!

Laughing, as usual!

Helping clean up some of her toys!

Still helping....and grunting! It's quite comical.

Now she got dirt in her shoe! This disgusts her! She has to stop immediately and clean!

Now it's on her hand...it's only time before she says..."Let's go wash my hands"

Now she's move to another table and something is in her other shoe! What a day!

Our princess!

Now she decides to tell her Daddy to chase her....and she takes off!

And there she goes again! She would be tons faster, if she did not laugh the whole time.

Now she teases her Daddy! "Come get me, Daddy!"

We are so lucky to have Gregg...He is the best Daddy to her. I don't know who adores each other more!

Random Fun at Our House

I could not pass up the cute pics....They are randomly taken over the last few months. I am trying to get caught up on our pictures and then it is my hope to put our pictures on here often, so you can check on Miss Priss and her family!

Here we are at Gilbert Steven's Park...She loves all the fun things here!

WEE!

She likes to go BIG on the big swings!

She had a blast, as you can tell! We had Pizza for a picnic and then played - she was so tired!

She slid down the poll like her Fireman, Poppa!

She is not afraid of anything, which is very scary!

Go Kinsley! She has "Peacocks" in her hair - aka Pigtails, but that is what she calls them!


::::Here we are at Avery's 2nd Birthday:::

She loves to swing!

Gregg had to swing this little girl. We have no idea who she is, but she wanted Gregg to push her. We were cracking up! Gregg is a sucker, but such a good guy!I'm outta here. She packed up and was leaving!

Mrs. Marlene gave this precious outfit to Kinsley and I just love it! Of course, she is a ham!

She looks so tall now -

Princess Kinsley, April 2008

Kinsley's school picture. They did the whole dress up theme!

Kinsley loves helping her Daddy mow the grass!

Here she is sharing a little secret with her Daddy!

Notice the sunglasses on her head!

Here is our little munchkin, age 2 - singing her ABC's. She can also count to 16 and spell her name...But getting attention to do that is hard to do!
