Feels Like TODAY

Well I am a few weeks behind in posting...whats new right

We have been so busy having fun with each ohther and living our daily lives.

Kennedy has been blessed with a new friend, whom she is very close with, Maggie. Kennedy and Maggie have gotten to know each other at school. So we invited her over to play to get to know her better. They had such a lovely afternoon playing together. I promised the girls that we could make cupcakes. They only wanted to help make the icing cause they were way to busy playing. But we had a blast making them and eating them.

<---Maggie and Kennedy playing dress up. They are dressing up a Ameren linemen

<----Two silly chefs. They were so much fun!! <--enjoying the sweet treats we made. Don't you just love Kennedy's face??!!!!

I also watched our adorable little neighbor Emma last week for two days while her dad was at work. Kennedy has a blast playing the "Big Sister" with her. Emma has such a good time just watching K and what she does. It's darling!!!

Oh and we had some family time on Friday. We played Candy Land and for once I was the winner. I am never the winner. I don't think Daddy and K really enjoyed loosing...

<----Me winning :)

<---they didn't take loosing to well. HEHE!!!

On Sat. we made our annual homage to the pumpkin patch. We decided to go back to Rombach's this year after last years experience somewhere else...there is no beating Rombachs. Grandma GG, Grandma Becky, Uncle N8, Aunt Vicki, and Kennedy's cousins Grace and B-Ray all went with us and we had so much fun. The kids, who were just adorable, got their faces painted, rode ponies and played and played. I was so happy I got to walk with B-Ray while he rode the pony and he was so cute. He just didn't want to get off. He is hilarious!!!! Kennedy was so tickled because Dora the Explorer was there and she gave her a pumpkin and posed for pictures. FUN TIMES. All in all such a fun day. After the pumpkin patch JT took me shopping at Old Navy and bought me a lovely new sweater dress I had my eye on. Yippee!!!

<----K sitting on a $60 yes that's right $60 dollar pumpkin...great for pics, but we didn't buy one.
<--the annual family pic we always get one taken in front of this pumpkin monument...well except for last year (Oh BAD memories...:) )

<---Kennedy got a crown painted on her face. She was ecstatic. Thanks Grandma Becky!!!

Then Sunday we had our annual Sunday School Picnic at church. It was such a good job. My sister in law and brother in law worked really hard on it (they had help but they do so much) and it was just fantastic. We had the National Guard obstacle course. It was SOOOO Super fun. Kennedy did it over and over until she could hardly stand. We also had face painting, a petting zoo, and of course food. :)

<----K got some serious air time. EVERY time she did this obstacle course, which had to have been over 30 times...she had a blast and a half.

<---JT also had a pretty good time doing it although he was not as graceful as K.

<---Kennedy and Hayli had a good time looking at the animals at the petting zoo. They both loved holding the bunnies.

<---Our dear friend Cole got a shark and since Kennedy thinks Cole is super super amazing she also got a shark...but it was a pink glitter shark so I could take that. :)

On to last week...

Kennedy had a party at school and the Mommies were invited. This was my first time to Kennedy's class room so I was very excited. They were learning about the letter P. So they had a pasta party. I made a fun tortellini pasta. (I will posting the recipe on my recipe blog) The kids and adults really liked it...and I picked up a new recipe. I was so happy to have gone and met the kids in Kennedy's class and just gotten to participate in some of her stuff. We ate, sang, and played. I had so much fun!!!!

<---At the pasta party the kids all had the opportunity to try different types of pasta. They had spaghetti, fettichini, tortellini salad and cheesy muscacholi. It was fun and delicious!

On Friday we got to go to the St. Clair Homecoming parade with Aunt Vicki and some friends. The kids had a lot of fun.

<----Kennedy absolutely enjoyed everybit of the parade. But her favorite part was the candy.

<---I did not sucessfully get even one picture of everyone looking or even sitting...oh well.

Okay so now we are caught up...on to another fun filled and busy week. I am looking forward to pumpkin carving..and making candy apples.
