June Photo a Day Take 2
June Photo a Day Take 2....
June 15th
Jeff's Dad spent a week in Guatemala on a mission's trip. So we dogsat his sweet guy! All three dogs got along fabulously! Here they are sunning themselves on the deck! Looks like a dog pow-wow!
June 14th
Quinn likes to sit by the kitchen windows because they go to the floor. I got a decent shot of her and just was playing with some editing. :)
And another shot from that same day. I planted 3 bushes, transplanted 2 hostas, planted a strawberry plant and elephant ears and moved around some hanging plants and added more. This is just one hanging plant....again, playing with my edits!
June 13th: no photo
June 12th
Yippee!!! The master bathroom renovation has begun! Jeff picked up the last of our supplies! They are all currently in the garage while we s-l-o-w-l-y work! This photo is of our new vanity top!!
June 11th
Kennedy was getting ready to leave for a week!! Since she was 2 years old she has gone to Iowa for a week and had "Grandma Camp" with my mom! You can't quite tell but their outfits are from the same line and coordinate wonderfully! *wink*
June 10th
Beach Birthday Bash for Vin! Kennedy's entire Kinder class was invited and it was a fabulous party!!!! Lots of swimming, water balloon toss, and bucket relay!
June 9th
The girls had their photos done today. After the professional shoot, we took them behind the concession/bathroom building and took some of our own. Here they are being silly!!!!
June 8th
Kennedy has always loved animals and bugs! On our patio we have an area that is very well shaded and many little creatures have made it their home. One summer it was some lizards! on this day Kennedy found lots of snails! She collected them all and put them in a pile! But that wasn't good enough, she had to hold them all and let them crawl all over her! Silly girl!

Playing Catch Up
Trying to catch up at my Photo a Day......rounding out May.
May 31st
We met some friends from church at the KC Zoo today! It was a warm one! We ended up spending the majority of the day just the 3 of us and I totally enjoyed it! Kennedy loves animals and the zoo is always a hit. She enjoyed feeding deer, riding the train, riding the carousel with Quinn, and her favorite animal was the Squirrel Monkey. Feeding the Lorikeets is one of Kennedy favorite things to do. You get a small cup with a liquid in it, hold it in your hand and extend your arm. The birds just flock! At one point she had 2 birds on her arm! I love this shot because she wasn't expecting the bird to take flight and Quinn was looking too! We only got to enjoy half the zoo on this trip. Unfortunately on the Africa side a gorilla got loose! They stopped letting people head that way, so we headed home. But not until after we enjoyed some free Dip n Dots!!!
May 30th - Memorial Day
The pools opened this weekend so Kennedy was beside herself! The water was QUITE cold - I didn't even get in! But it was Quinn's FIRST trip to the swimming pool! Considering how cold it was she really enjoyed it and had lots of smiles for us!
May 29th
Celebration at the Station! One of my favorite traditions!! This year we talked the Elliott's into joining us! Kennedy and bff Taylor had a great time goofing off!!! (Hopefully I will have a post soon about Kennedy's outfit...Quinn was matching!)
May 28th
Doggie mini spa day! Kennedy and I brushed the dogs today...forever! They have so much hair it is ridiculous! We have always joked that Izzy has so much hair we could brush and never stop and still not get all the hair! Later Jeff played doggie dentist! He has a great tool that helps knock the plaque off the dogs' teeth. Kennedy helped out by shining a flashlight on the dog's mouth. And Quinn was extremely interested...can you see her trying to work her way into the mix?!
May 27th
Birds!! We have started our bird watching - hooray! Miss Kennedy and I have our trusty bird book out along with the rockin' binoculars . This year we will be keeping a bird journal. We will track the date, the bird type, where we spotted it, what it was doing and the time of day. Currently there are 4 bird feeders in the yard and one bird bath.
May 26th
T-Ball Season has officially begun! Be on the lookout for lots of photos of the Pink Panthers soon!
May 25th
A bad weather day! The horrible tornado had just struck Joplin days earlier. Storms had been cropping up all over the Midwest over the previous weeks and were all over the news. On this morning, the gals and I had gone to a friend's for coffee and playtime. We moms were discussing how our hostess's home didn't have a basement and what they would have to do should a tornado head their way. I kid you not, just then the tornado sirens sounded! We all just looked at each other and no one spoke! Someone turned on the television and we tried to make sure the kids were unaware. It appeared the storm was East of us so we started to breath easier. That is until the Sheriff's office called into the news station and said they were taking cover!!!! We all decided to throw the kids in the car and just head to our homes - and our hostess had a safe place to go as well! I snapped this shot as we were driving home. The gals and I spent much of the afternoon in the basement watching the news!
May 24th
Oops! Forgot to take a photo today!
May 23rd
Last day of Kindergarten!!!! There was a family picnic on the playground - even Mema attended! This is a shot of 2 of Kennedy's friends, Ava and Brady. Seriously...kindergarten is over???

Embrace the Camera
I am joining a new weekly blog link-up. So, yes, I take at least a photo a day. But VERY rarely is a photo taken of me. I am the one behind the camera 99% of the time. And to be honest, I like it that way. I would rather now have my photo taken, much less look at those pictures! Anyone with me?!
But Emily over at The Anderson Crew has challenged bloggers to get photos of themselves!!!! And post them! Yikes! But I want to do it so I can show my girls that I really was there for all those fun memories!!! Regardless of whether I like the way I look, my daughters won't really care! Years from now they will just enjoy the photos! No make-up, no biggie. Dark circles under my eyes - hey that is reality! So I am jumping in this week!
We took the dogs to the dog park for the first time this year! And it was Quinn's first trip as well! I can still remember taking Kennedy her first time! She slept the entire hike! Not Quinn - she was awake and not enjoying her infant carrier! Thought you wouldn't know it from the camera! :) You can see Copper in the background shaking himself off after a dip in the lake. I realize I am not looking at the camera, but it is a start! Excuse the "dog park" clothes, the gross pony tail, and my old glasses. :) Just keeping it real I guess!!!
Feel free to join in at Emily's blog HERE!
