A Lazy Weekend Photo Dump

First let me say that my family is grateful for the men and women who have sacrificed in many many ways to serve our country. 

It has been nice to have daddy home for an extra day this weekend, even if we didn't do much.  Kennedy's social calendar included her friend's 2nd  birthday party yesterday, which I sadly did not take many pictures at.  After we left the party my husband and I were sharing our thoughts about the day.  Last year at his birthday party Kennedy was just 3.5 months old and slept through the majority of the party.  We knew we were approaching the dreaded open heart surgery, stressing over her weight gain or lack of, and felt like the days would never pass.  This year, Kennedy went swimming.  And she spent much of the party crawling around, playing with her friends (and balloons), and being a food bully.  Kennedy is NOT easily intimidated even in large crowds, and she's not afraid to crawl up and steal your food either.  It was nice to be chasing her around pulling random objects out of her mouth and keeping her from stealing food, rather than the thought of surgery looming in my head.  We have come so far in just a year.   

The rest of the weekend we enjoyed some time outdoors with the water table and at the pool, but unfortunately, today did not bring pool weather.  We were lucky to fit in a quick trip to the park this morning before the storms arrived.  That made Kennedy petty excited.  With temperatures in the 90s, it's been pretty impossible to swing lately. 

Here's a few pictures from our weekend!

Daddy has no idea that my favorite part is throwing cups of water on people.

Look at my fancy shoes!

This is so much fun!

 Hey daddy, you aren't going to dump that on me right?

 Hey mom, can you go get the ball I threw into the street?

I'm such a big girl these days.

Yay!!  Swings!

I still think we need them at home.

Hey mom, what are you doing over there?

Summer Fun!

We are fortunate enough to live in Florida, where we can take advantage of great weather pretty much all year long! We've been swimming for weeks now, and Kennedy is acquiring quite the suntan, even though she wears an SPF 70!

I've been looking for new outdoor activities, since we are somewhat limited. The swings are getting harder and harder because they get so hot this time of year! So, we hit up Toys R Us this weekend and scored an awesome deal on a water table that was recommended by one of Kennedy's online friends, Ellie.

Of course, it rained today. Almost all day. Which is rarely does in Florida, especially this time of year. So, in an effort to still get out of the house, I set up in the water table...in the garage. After all, we do live in Florida where there are snakes and gators that frequent our yard, so it's really no big deal to play in the driveway or garage.

Kennedy loved the water table! Though, I think I need to stock up on some extra toys for her to use in it.

 Well this is different...it's kind of like playing with water in the bath tub.

Hi mom!

Wow Grandma!  That water wheel is pretty cool.

I love my new toy mommy.

Can I spin it myself?

This is so cool!

These little people are funny....

Thanks for bringing my bath cups out mom.

Seriously, this is so much fun, I can't stand it!
