Beach - Day 7

Our last and final day...We leave at 6 the next morning, so we planned to make the best of the last day!



Of course a storm comes up, but actually never hits us...but off in the distance, (left of the pic) there was a funnel cloud. The coast guard got everyone out of the water and told us to leave the beach, a bit scary for a while...but that was it...nothing happened!

We went to another restaurant tonight called Calypso Joe's - it was great and a lot of fun with action for Kinsley! It was our first time there. It was about 15 minutes from our Condo, at a very nice Yacht Dock...We dreamed over the boats while we waited for our food.

Kinsley rode the dolphin...She is so wild!

They had hourly crab races, which Kinsley thought were way cool! Even though we lost!

After dinner, keeping with traditions....We took Kinsley's pictures in her white dress at the beach - and of course, we waited until the last minute -

I love this one!

and this one!

and this one!

Ok, I loved them all!!!

Oh especially this one...

and this one!

My Girl!

As we head home, early the next morning, she goes back to sleep for quite a bit...She props her foot up on the pillow and relaxes!


We can't wait until our next beach trip.....

Kinsley's Getting A Big Girl Bed

Well, we have been shopping for bedding and different things for her bed. We have only just begun, but we should have it all in place by July. We went to Walmart to buy Allergy Pillows (great) and I was putting them in the buggy. She was sitting in the back of the buggy and the next thing I know she has the pillows arranged so she is nice and comfy. She laid down the rest of the trip and thought she was so cool. I got tons more shopping done (wish I had to do more, but it was only a little bit) since she was being so good. She got lots of looks and laughs. She keeps me in stitches!

Kinsley's (Imaginary) Lightening Bug

One things for sure, she loves to be creative and has a great imagination, even at two. She cracks us up as we play store or pretend to call people. I have one particular funny story that will leave you wanting to hear more from her!

We went to VBS last and on the way, Kinsley said she caught a lightening bug (In the car - in the middle of the day). I said, "Oh, let me see." She was happy to let me look at it and even asked if I would like to hold it (while driving). I said - of course! I turned to her at the stop light and said, "Kinsley, what is his name." She waited, and I could just see her thinking .... She finally said, "Roadie." I CRACKED up....I'm trying to keep a straight face and do not want her to ever stop being so creative so I went with and we talked about Roadie and held it back and forth to the church.

On our way home, we stopped to give Mom and Dad something and Kinsley told BeBe about Roadie....BeBe asked to hold it and very enthusiastically said, "Oh, it just 'lightened' in my hand." Kinsley looked at her very seriously, and said, "No, it didn't."

Once again, we are left laughing!

VBS

Becky asked us if we wanted to come to VBS at her Church - Kinsley has gone every year and enjoys the fun. They do an awesome VBS with the grown ups getting really into it. Kinsley enjoyed the whole evening (6 - 9). Minus the MOUSE skit, she still is a bit afraid that the Mouse Lady is coming after her. What is bad, is the skit was funny, with a cute little pregnant lady that was loud (which Kinsley does not like) and she dropped a box that had a mouse in it. Well the place went wild looking for the mouse and Kinsley thought they were all afraid of her. So every time we saw her, she freaked out. We left a bit early, since she was only with us when it was whole group time - so Kinsley would not be nervous.
Other than that, Kins loved it. Jenn and her sister (Emy) were in charge of her group and she loved all the fun activities.

Outdoor fun....Kinsley waits with her hand behind her back (just as the teacher said)

Though our focus tonight was Peter and the Storm and how he walked on water....It was a beautiful day and felt great for the outdoor activities.

Making waves for the boats.

Thanks Becky and Jenn for inviting us and all who took such good care of Kinsley! We enjoyed it so much.

Kinsley Goes to the doctor!

Well, I knew it! She had an ear infection...I could tell since she was not acting herself and a bit grabby - probably gets that from her Daddy, certainly not me!!! HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

We got meds~ We caught it early and she never complained but I just had a feeling! So now I can go on vacation with peace....

She was 27 lbs today! 2 year, 2 months! My how time flies!

Dr. Sargent's Visit and More

First off, Today is our Anniversary! We have been married 7 years! It's hard to believe...we have been together almost 12! I can't imagine our life without each other! He is a wonderful husband and Daddy! We are lucky to have him in our lives!

Even though it was our anniversary, we had busy days! Gregg with football and Kins and I had to go to Dr. Sargent. I am always nervous before going to her plastic surgeon....but the visit was quick and painless for us all. Kinsley was great...let him look in her nose and mouth and was so brave and the posed for the camera when they wanted to take pictures! (Glad we bought a new dress for the occasion - hehe) He said everything was perfect and that we will come back in a year! The cleft in her gum is still not all the way there, which leaves her without a tooth. He said it may come in but his most concern is if a grown up tooth will be there. Time will only tell if other surgeries will be needed is what he said! So we will just wait and see. She will soon go to a dentist for a regular cleaning and will monitor her teeth as they come in -


Of course, I had to take some pictures...I mean it has been a couple of days! hehe So here is my pride and joy!
MISS. PRISS....

She had to do a little dance move for me.

Here are some in Black and White!

After the doctor we went to Oak Ridge to see Nonnie and Poppy and the gang. Gregg had to deliver the boat back and we had a nice visit with the family. Kinsley adores Blake and McKenna and they do her too. Blake and McKenna taught her how to Stomp...Since they have been in Show Kids Camp this week and Kinsley was loving doing the moves with them.


We made it home and went straight to bed...It was so hot today and we were all so tired!

We leave for the beach in 2 days!!!!
