Funny Faces

On Friday, June 17th, Kinsey climbed up on the bay window sill then started smashing her face into the window. I quietly grabbed my camera, snuck outside and started snapping pictures. I laughed so hard while taking these pictures that I had tears rolling down my face. I also wonder what my neighbors thought (if they saw me) of me taking pictures of my bay window. Anyway, I'm glad Kinsey didn't get upset seeing me outside and continued what she was doing so I could capture these funny faces.

Beck and Kinsey

This is what brightens my day...watching the kids do crazy/funny things! Beck pulled his tool belt up on his waist and his shorts went up with it. I couldn't resist and had to capture this moment. He completed his attire with his construction hat...too cute!!!

Then, my fearless daughter loves to ride the giraffe rocking chair like she's a jockey and I finally was able to capture her doing this...oh my goodness, she is a mess!

At the Park

There are some days that I have to get out of the house and this was one of them...it was super hot so nobody was at the park. Beck wanted to get in the handicap swing and we put Kinsey on it too! Now that was funny and somewhat stressful. I was so afraid she was going to fall out.

Then, Beck wanted to get on the big boy swing...

Kinsey rode on Daddy's neck when we walked to the creek to see the ducks and she loved it!


Park June 20112


Beck ran towards the ducks so fast that he scared them into the water. He thinks he can catch one. Ha!


Park June 20113


There are SO many ducks in this creek! We saw a mother with her baby ducks.

We pulled a Micheal Jackson and hung Kinsey over the rails. She enjoyed putting her feet in the water.

Of course Beck had to do it too!

Beck walked up the spillway that's located under Spring Creek.

It was a fun and relaxing evening...I enjoyed some time to unwind!

Random Pictures

These are just a few random pictures that I took the second week of June...Enjoy!

Kinsey insists on climbing up on her walker, the kitchen play set for the kids and I recently caught her on top of Beck's work bench! She has no fear!!!

Cute...

I thought this was funny...Beck is watching something on Netflix (probably The Iron Giant) and Brent fell asleep (probably fighting a migraine headache).

This is the tutu I bought for Kinsey to wear on the beach...how cute is this!?!? It's a little big so she'll get to wear it many more times!

Bath Time

Beck and Kinsey love taking a bath with each other! They crack me up...Beck wants to splash her and she wants to stand up the whole time. They do have a good time in the bath tub!

Happy Birthday Haylee!

Haylee's birthday party was at a gymnastic place in Rockwall and it was so much fun! Haylee's and her cake looked fabulous!


Haylee Party


They served pizza, beverages and cake and our kids loved all of it!


Haylee Party1


The staff was there to help entertain the kids. I was scolded as soon as I hit the floor because I was helping Beck jump on the trampoline. Apparently, no adults are allowed on the trampoline! Whoops!


Haylee Party2


The biggest hit with Beck was the slide that went into a sponge block pit. He played on that as much as he could.


Haylee Party4


He also enjoyed the ladder on the wall...


Haylee Party3


I got a great pregnancy picture of Chelsea!


Haylee Party5


Kinsey is so close to walking!


Haylee Party6


Afterwards, we grabbed dinner then headed home as we were so tired.

Otto Has Arrived!!!

What an exciting Friday night we had!!! Ava and Lola ended up spending the night with us and we woke up to see pictures of our new nephew, Otto! Wow!!! Otto was born on Saturday, June 4th at 1:30am.

Brent and Beck went to Dunkin Donuts and got lots of donuts for all of us. We started the morning watching cartoons as Kiki got read to head to Ft. Worth to hang a painting. Do you think they can see the tv? Brent enjoyed tickling Lola and she loved it!

Ava is going to be the best big sister...she already knows how to feed a baby.

It was so nice outside that we decided to play in the pool but Ava and Lola didn't have any swimsuits here....humm, what to do? We decided to put them in Beck's swimming attire and it worked! Yeah! Kinsey hung outside with us for a short time and then I put her down for a morning nap. As you can see, we all had fun in the sun!

After we came in the house, the kids said they were cold and snuggled up on the couch...too cute!!!

We fed the kids lunch then put the kids down for a quick afternoon nap because we had Haylee's birthday party to attend at 2:30pm.
I can't wait to meet our nephew!!!

Friday Night Family Fun Night

Kiki called us today to see if she could spend the night and offered to watch all of the grandkids at our house so we could all go out. I was super excited to go see a movie! Jeff and Jill saw a movie at Studio Movie Grill, Brian and Katherine tried to see a movie there but it was sold out so they went to dinner instead. We ate a quick meal at Taco Cabana then saw Pirates of the Carribean at Stonebriar Mall.


Kiki Night


Did Kiki have her hands full or what? The cousins had so much fun playing with each other! Kinsey tried to hang with the big kids and did pretty good until she was ready to go to sleep. She could not stay up as late as Beck, Ava and Lola.


Kiki Night1


During Brian and Katherine's dinner, she started having contractions so they stopped by the house to drop off car seats and headed to Baylor hospital in Dallas (where Beck was born). The girls went to sleep dreaming of their new baby brother. BTW, Kiki took this picture because I was asleep before the girls went to sleep and Kiki was texting Brian getting updates on the delivery.

Lunch with Pops and Kiki

While Pops and Kiki were in town during Memorial weekend, we ate lunch with them at a place near our house called Mexi-Go. I don't think the name of the restaurant gives it justice because it sounds like a fast-food type of place but it's been around since I've been in the Dallas area (about 15 years) and the food is really good. Anyway, Beck and Pops had fun putting "sprinkles" (aka salt) on the chips...


Church with Pops and Kiki


Kinsey entertained us with her many faces...mainly the kissy face!

Once we got home, I took Kinsey's dress off and she started playing in the recliner with Beck.
