Texas Chapter 5 - Fun In The Sun

This past Saturday Daidre was off having some self beautifying time alone...or maybe this was the day she took Kara and Kati Mae to their dance recital rehearsal, anyhow... I took the kids to the community pool to watch Kipp's last two swim races. He had already finished 3 races and apparently he is quiet fast with the butterfly stroke. I said hi to Kipp and then I took the kids to the concession stand to buy some snacks.

While I was purchasing snacks, Kipp was off minding his own business when another kid was running and plowed him over. He skinned up his elbow pretty bad and then his knee and finger was not far behind in pain. He was really hurting and decided he didn't have enough steam left in him to finish his races. We found someone to take his place and then the other kids played at the park while we waited for Daidre to pick him up. I felt so bad for him.

I don't really know what to say about this picture, but it totally made me laugh. I guess they weren't really into the fun the others were having. As long as I have my camera, I'm completely content and very happy:)

I love the look on Jayden's face.

I think Kyli had had enough by this point. She was so good at pushing Jayden on the swing for a really long time.

Poor Kyli, when your 12 some things start to get a little boring I guess. ;)

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
