Independence Day

I know that this is really late, but I thought I would share our Independence Day Celebration with all of you. Keep in mind that Kenzie hasn't ever liked going to the fireworks because they are too loud. On July 3, we went to the river and found a park where there were many children playing, Kenzie jumped right in and started playing, she met a little girl named Lindsey, they instantly became best friends and we are going to start play dates soon. Then when it got close to time for the firework display to start, we all walked closer to the second street bridge, I have some pics below so that you can all see what happened that night. Thank you Dustin (my little brother) and Candice (my future sister in law) for taking the pics of the display. I really did appreciate that so I could chase the kids, while they took pics.

This was the first time Maddie took to the swingset and she did it a couple of hours before we went to the river for the fireworks, now I have a hard time getting her off of it. She loves the glider!

Kenzie had so much fun sliding down the huge twisting slide at the river, she didn't want to leave! I just love the look on her face here. I was lucky to get the pic, she wasn't very into having Mommy taking pics that night, so like I said, when I snapped this, I was shocked it came out due to the delayed flash on my camera!

"Mommy look, I am going up the steps to the big slide!" I was so scared for her because it was up so high, but she kept going up the steps and then sliding down and repeating the process time after time after time.

BOOM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TAKE ME HOME! That was basically what went on next. The fireworks went Boom! Kenzie screamed and then yelled to be taken home. I just put her on my shoulders and walked around with her, then she asked for Daddy, so he did the same and in a few minutes she was asking to go back and watch the "BOOM BOOM'S" with Mommy and Lindsey.

Another Boom.

"Big Boom Mommy!"

"Wow Pretty Boom Momma!"

"Look another one Mommy!"

"Daddy, Red Boom!"

"Pretty boom"

"Mommy, I like Boom!"

"Kenzie, it's ok, it is just the grand finale!"

I have to give Candice props here, after it was all over, she wanted a picture of the city line, and she got a great one! Thanks again for doing all the pics Dustin and Candice, you did great! Now for the after facts. On the 4th, Kenzie woke up and said "Mommy, I need to go to the park and play then watch Boom Booms!" I couldn't believe it! She hated the idea of it just one day prior! I am so happy that she is ok with it now though. So that was our fourth, I will post some more of the pics that were taken while we were in the process of moving as I can.

Love,

Dawn

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
