End of summer

Kass is teaching Kody how to hi five

Kennedy was diggin her new hat

Kody liked his too

Kass made homemade bubbles for her bubble machine- that is the fireplace covered in giant bubbles

Kody is chewing on everything- including my foot- its clean, no worries

My pretty girl

Rodeo

We went to the rodeo saturday. Kennedy loved the horses and cows, Kass liked the riding monkeys and Kody cried most of the time, he would settle down then the crows would cheer and he was unhappy again. He slept through about 30 minutes and we went to the truck before the barrel racing. Soon enough we won't be able to keep him away...

She was tired but she made it almost to the end...
Licorice lipstick

Daddy is the best

Kody mostly liked to look at his sisters

Our one smile for the night

Grandma

When mom was over she was holding Kody. He coughed, she jumped, he smiled, coughed again, she jumped he smiled, then he fake coughed to see what she would do. She jumped, he smiled. Oh the simple fun babies can have with their grandmas. Thanks for making memories mom.

We love you.

August

This is the view of the peak from my backyard with my cool new camera
Sassy Kassy

Cakes for the fair. Kass did "the itsy bitsy spider" Miranda had "The cow jumped over the moon" Amy did the "three bears"

Kass and Grandma made piniatas

My babies

Grandma came and helped with the kids so that I could bottle some tomatoes

This is Kennedy's new expression, she says "Whats it"

Sharing

My handsome little man

Kassidy wanted to try out the new background we made

Kennedy started to stick her tongue out when she is thinking

Look Familiar

Does this little man look familiar?

Her fathers Daughter

We went outside to help Travis with something and Kennedy headed into the shed, she grabbed the halter and dragged it to the door, then she went back and got the saddle blanket and tried to carry it out the door. She cried when we headed into the house.

We are teaching her sign language and More is her newest sign. Everytime we walk past the garden she does the sign and we have to go and get her some tomatos. (thats my girl)

We picked some nectarines yesterday and she started to dig in. We took some into the house and she decided that she needs to have a bite of each one. SO, if we give you a nectarine, its just a love bite missing....

Kody and Kennedy

Have I mentioned that I have the cutest kids in the world?

Kennedy climbed onto the piano bench and started to play the piano. I think she is destined to be a pianist.

Farwell

We had Alan's farwell in Evanston. We had a great time, he gave a great talk. We are all very proud of him and the decision he has made to serve the Lord.

Daddy and his babies
Alan, Helen, Travis and Kennedy
Yes, she is trying to eat the table

Kass was having a great time playing with her cousins

Check out that little girl runnin. I love the determined look on her face.

Sticking the tongue out is a new thing, just like her Grandma Phyllis, concentrating hard

Cousins. (I love how the water was frozen in place in the picture- I love my camera.)

Kennedy mostly ate olives for lunch. All of them went on her fingers first.

Family reunion

We had the Ford family reunion on Saturday, it was 90ish on Friday and 75 on Saturday so we broke out the jackets. It was so great to see everybody and celebrate Grandmas birthday. There were a ton of new babies around, Grandma would have been pleased. We took a lot of pictures, (big suprise.)

Kody has discovered his hand- and chews on it regularly!
My pretty little girl, she is growing up so fast.

Nana and Papa and the babies

This is Kennedy's seriously thinking about something look

Daddy and his little man

My first pictures with "George"

New member of the family

We will call him George. (like the abominal snowbunny when he picked up daffy duck...Just what I always wanted. My own little bunny rabbit. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.....)

My wonderful mom saw the need to buy me a super cool, incredibly addictive camera. (Cannon Rebel 15.1 mega pixel with extra lenses, soooo cool)

I received it Friday night, opened it and charged the battery. Saturday morning to Sunday night, I had taken 165 pictures already. The shutter speed is amazing. I look at something and can capture it at that moment- no wait- its so cool. I am having way too much fun. I am going to set up a little studio in my basement to take portraits.

(maybe I can get good enough to make some money- we will see)

Thanks Mom, I love Christmas in August. I promise to provide you with lots and lots of Pictures of your beautiful grandchildren.

Kody turns 4 months old

Kody turned 4 months old this week. He is just growing like a weed. He was 16 pounds and 26 inches. He is just 6 inches shorter than his sister. The doctor says that he is just doing perfect. He is such a sweet, well tempered baby. He loves his sisters (when they are not torturing him). We are starting him on cereal and he is not sure if he likes it or not, I am just hoping that it helps him sleep for more than 3 hours!!!
Kennedy needs to stand on anything and everything. She has started puckering and giving kisses which is nice, no more slober kisses. Kassidy and Kody are the recipients of most of the kisses.

"Mom, I am not a good luck charm, make her stop rubbing my head"
Kennedy has started to drag her brother by his feet to help him be where she is. We are trying to help her understand that she needs to not drag him around.

Grandpa and Nana dropped off a ton (literally) of cloths from my sister for Kody. He is set for like 4 years. Kennedy showed off her cool 4 wheeler skills.
HI, I am hoping my eyes stay blue for my mommy. I am 4 months old and too stickin' cute.

Kass was dressing her brother up- just for blackmail pictures I think.
