More dance practice

Kyndal got her tap shoes the week before class and had to try them on. She also wanted to wear a ballerina outfit that her Aunt Shelly got her a while ago to do some more practice moves before she started class (the outfit is a little small now). I think she is going to be quite the performer, what do you think?





After observing Kyndal I can pretty much guess that she is not going to like the structure of ballet, she is a little more free form that that. I was the same way as a kid, loved jazz but no so hot on ballet.

LifePoint Church

July 1st we became new members of LifePoint Church. I finally had to explain to Kyndal that we would not be going to "her church" for a little bit while it was being fixed up. I told her we would be going to the church at her school for a while. She was very cute and tried to explain this to her Daddy when we at dinner that night at the Sonic on our way to the membership class. Every time we go past the church which is normally several times a day, she asks if it is fixed yet. We took her in there on Tuesday while I was taking some pictures of the progress, so she got to see the construction first hand. If you haven't read the full story it can be found on my blog here. http://kristinnoel.blogspot.com/2009/06/unity.html

Here she is with her Daddy at the Sonic.

Future Photographer?

Kyndal decided to set up all of her animals for a portrait. Then she wanted one with them. Then she recomposed the set-up in a different location and wanted Mommy in the pic. Could she be following in her Mommy's footsteps?

Two cute things that Kyndal said today

She had her pretend phone in the back seat and she told me she was talking to Teresa. She said "Can you talk louder".... "hang on let me put you on speakerphone"! LOL!

The second thing maybe not as cute but we were in the parking lot at the store and I said Kyndal give me your hand. She wasn't paying attention but when a car started to back out I said very sternly "HAND". She said "Calm down". I responded with don't tell me to calm down and she said "But Mommy you just need to calm down" ... at that point all I could do was giggle.

Wonder where she hears those phrases?

Dance Class

Kyndal is starting dance class on Monday for their 4 week, 8 class summer program. I wasn't sure if I was going to start her in class, until she started doing these dances and shouting out to me or Bret to "watch me." I am not sure where she gets her moves and they sort of look more interpretive than ballet. Anyhow, she will be doing a combo tab/ballet/tumbling class. We picked her up a leotard last night and she wanted to where it when she got home. Once she had it on she started to perform. After seeing how into it she was, I am getting excited! Here is a video of her last night

Road Trip - Little Rock

We stopped in Little Rock on the way to OK and back from TX. On our return trip we made it to a AA baseball game (the ballpark was behind the hotel). The Arkansas Travelers had an awesome little ballpark that we loved. We even got free flip flops, it was fun!


LOL, another pic of me!

Road Trip - Texas

We continued our Road Trip by going onto Texas for Kyndal's Aunt Katherine's graduation. Bret's Dad went into the hospital unexpectedly while we were there and unfortunately they both missed the graduation. He is fine, thanks for all of the prayers and thoughts. Kyndal and I did make it to lunch with the family and to Katherine's graduation though, so here are some pictures.
