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.

Road Trip - Oklahoma

We went down to Texas to see Bret's sister's graduate High School and we decided that since we were going all that way we would go to Oklahoma to see his Brother and Sister in law, sister, and our nephew Bo. We went to see the Oklahoma City Memorial while we where there. Here are a few pics. The rest are posted on facebook.... if you are not on there you should be because I post a whole lot more pics there :)

Zoo with the girls

At the end of May Courtney my niece came to spend a few days with us. Maegan and Courtney made friends quickly and she came over for a sleep over too. I took all of the girls to the zoo. We only went to one side of the zoo and then we toured the historic home and went to the playground. The tour of the house was nice, I have never done that before in all of our previous visits to the zoo. I liked hearing the history of the land and the families that owned it before it became the Nashville Zoo. Here are some pictures of the girls.

Last annual Stonebrook Memorial day picnic

We had a blast on memorial day as what we now know was the very last annual Stonebrook Memorial Day picnic. It was a parred down version of picnics of the past... however we had great time in fellowship with our church family. We played games, ate, and roasted marshmallows for Smores on a tiny little fire! Our friends Kim, Joe and Lola even joined us. Here are just two pics one of Kyndal looking so grown up and one of Jayce, Kyndal's friend and our little buddy holding his "Doctor Kit" that we made in SS that morning.

Oh, one more picture of a bonfire from a past picnic...
