She's getting close!

She will be walking SOON! Check out the video. She takes a few steps at a time! Go Kennedy!

My BIG girl

I wanted to show how BIG my baby girl is! She is standing w/out aid now! She started this a few weeks ago when we were playing in our pool. (see video clip a few posts ago) I have been taking her out to play in it almost every day so she can build her strength up. (That seemed to be the only place she would stand alone.) After doing that several times, she has built the courage to stand alone in our house ...here are a few pics! She has come a long way!

My new favorite outfit!

(it's huge right now...but she is growing like a weed! This should fit by fall/winter.)

Suits her perfectly with the cat theme since she has 3 kitties of her own!

"Yes, I know I am a big girl""Taking a rest...standing is a tough job!"

"WHOA Nelly! I'm about to fall now!"

or it could be..."Hi mom!"
"Are we done yet?"
"The tag tastes so good!"
Look at my tan legs!
"Yes, mom let me have the plastic piece from some leggings she just put away...tastes NICE!"
"Okay...we are officially finished w/ this photo shoot"

A sweet poem from a friend...

Standing Alone!

We played in Kennedy's pool today after church. She surprised us w/ a new trick!

Blueberries & Garden stuff!

Monday at lunch...she loves blueberries!
Josh tilled up our garden earlier this year. Before we got the chance to plant anything, we had some volunteer plants pop up. We are now growing watermelons and pumpkins! I am so excited! I never knew plants would or could do that! How cool! Here are a few photos of what they look like right now.

Playing with Nina

Saturday we were invited to our neighbor's home for an outdoor playdate. The weather hot and sunny, so we let the girls play in the water. We all ate from a bowl of locally grown blueberries, blackberries and watermelon picked up from the Farmer's Market that morning! The watermelon was a big hit with the girls! We had a wonderful time! The girls are 5 days apart in age! They played so well together! Looks like we have a new friend!

Kennedy loved this bucket! She climbed in and made it home for a while!

Just her size! :)


It looks like Kennedy is asking to ride the zebra!

Nina was so kind to let her!

After we came home, she passed out from a day in the sun!

Adding to our family!

I am sure I threw some of you for a loop with my title! No, we are not expecting another baby. We just rescued a little kitten. The service department @ JJ's was working on a vehicle and found this little baby in a wheel well. Josh called me and told me the story about what happened. I told him we did not need another animal to take care of. I have a hard enough time keeping my house clean with the 2 indoor cats we currently have. (it requires a lot of sweeping and vacuuming!) So after doing some thinking, I told Josh that we could take him/her as long as it could be an outdoor kitty. We have a great neighborhood for kitties, in fact, there are 5 outdoor cats I know of at this time that seem to do perfect. We live in the "country" and it will have a happy life here. At the moment, it is staying inside due to the fact he/she is so tiny. After we take it to the vet to get shots, flea medicine and spay/nuetered we will take it outside. We have a garage that it can stay in at night. I forgot how much joy a little kitten can bring! We are waiting on a "real" name b/c I am afraid if I get too attached I will want to keep it inside! So for now, we are calling it "Pip" b/c it is a little Pip Squeek! It has the puniest little me-ow!

Josh is in love!

Kennedy loves "Pip" already!
