Konnor & Addison's Birthday Parties

This weekend was a BUSY one. First we drove down to Wichita for Konnor's birthday then had to turn around and drive back here for Addison's party. Thankfully they weren't on the same day... I don't know what I would have done then!!

Of course as soon as Grandma got home from work Thursday she took us straight outside to swing. This was the first time Kellen had been on a swing. It took him awhile to get used to it but in the end he liked it.
Hopefully by the next time we go to Grandma's house the new swing set will be put up, I can't wait for that. The pictures of the new swing set look so cool!!

Friday morning we all went to the Zoo (you can thank Grandma for my colorful hat!!). As we were waiting on Aunt Pretty we got to feed the fish.

Kellen and I are becoming pros at Zoo going. We love it!!

Here we all are...

Kellen, Kourtnee, Brayden, Konnor, Me, and Layken (The Davis' cousin)

We are all a bunch of Monkeys!!

Friday was the opening day for the Tiger exhibit, it was pretty cool!! The Wichita Zoo is the best Zoo we have ever been to.

Saturday morning before Konnor's party Brayden and I got to go to the sprinkler park. Mom wasn't planning ahead so she didn't bring my suit so I had to play in my dress. This park was pretty cool, we had a blast!!

Konnor's party had a big bounce house with a slide, Uncle P hooked up the hose to it to make it wet and then we all just flew down the slide. It's amazing no one got hurt. It was super fast!!

Layken, Konnor and I in Konnor's new birthday ride!!

I might have been a little bit confused about who's birthday it was, I wanted to be the star of the show!! That cake sure was yummy!!

They even had a pinata that was FULL of candy. My Dad might need to work with me on my baseball stance!

We drove home late Saturday night so we could go to the Shaw BBQ (Our cousins Danielle and Tanner from Vegas were in town and threw a BBQ, I was attached to Danielle all morning, I love her!! They had an amazing pool that I got to swim in.)

Addison's party was in the afternoon and she got this cool Barbie car, she is still a little iffy about driving it, but I sure had a great time giving her a ride!!

Once again I like to be in the middle of all the action. After we all sang Happy Birthday I made it very clear that I wanted the "A" that was on the cake!! I ended up only getting a cupcake...I wonder who ate my "A"!!!

Being the nice friend that I am I held Addison's new baby while she opened all the other gifts.

Addison had a bounce house too!! It sure was a busy weekend!!

Phoenix Trip

We just spent almost 3 weeks in Phoenix spending time with Dad.

Since Dad worked most days we didn't have a car so we walked to lots of places. Of course we had to walk early in the morning before it got to be 105 degrees outside. Luckily there was a park near by that we spent a lot of time at.

The fire station was also right around the corner so we walked up there and rang the doorbell and asked to see the trucks... with a face like mine how could they say no?!! They even let me get inside and turned on all the lights for us. It was so cool.

It's always fun to wrestle with Daddy. I love my Daddy!!

This is my cousin Austin, he just got this pool in the back yard so we spent lots of time swimming together.

Daddy took me to a baseball game and got us front row seats. I kept playing with my ponies on the railing and security had to keep telling me to get them down. But it seemed like the perfect place to play with them!!

I've got the best Dad!! (That's my favorite "Great" Uncle Gregg in the back ground)

We did so much in Phoenix that it wore Kellen out, he couldn't even finish his bottle!! I've got the cutest brother.

Mom found this "sprinkler park" one day so we stopped by and I had the most fun. My new favorite thing is sprinkler parks.

After we left I told everyone that this was "my turtle" and that she loved me. I can't wait to go back to Phoenix so I can go to this park again!!

Our friend Domenic has a pool so I got to spend quite a bit of time in there as well. By the time I got home I looked like it was the end of summer I was so tan.

I'm so cute!!

I've got the best family!

My Nana and I.

Me and Austin.

(This is possibly the best picture anyone has ever gotten of the two of us, it's hard work trying to get us to stand still long enough to get a picture)

Folly Beach, SC

Mommy, Kellen and I went to see Grandpa Cold Beer and Grandma Lynn in Folly Beach, SC back in May.

Kellen and I hanging out while Mom packed our bags.

Kellen on his first plane ride. As you can see Mom let him lay on my blanket and I was not very happy about that. Nobody gets to use my blanket...everyone knows that. Anyways, Kellen did really well on the plane, the only thing that woke him up was all the people walking my commenting on him sleeping while they headed to the bathroom.

Kellen was not very happy about me taking his toy...he kinda looks possessed!!

Kellen, Grandma Lynn and I

While we were there there was a big festival on the beach so we got to partake in all the activities.

Grandpa Cold Beer's yellow golf cart. I love driving the golf cart!!

Eating cotton candy....

and trying to get every last bit off my face. I LOVE COTTON CANDY (just like my Dad)!!!!

We were all ready to go to the beach.

I ran back and forth like this all day.

We collected all kinds of beautiful sea shells.

Here is Kellen at the beach... I don't think he enjoyed it as much as I did. Next time he'll be big enough and we will have a blast together.

Grandpa Cold Beer, Kellen, Mommy, and ME!!

The next day we went to the Aquarium, we got to see all kinds of animals there.

Look at that huge turtle behind us!!! That was so cool!

They also had lots of sharks in the tank.

On the flight back home we got the very first seats so there was extra room in front of us. It was the perfect place for Kellen to play during the flight. He's a great traveler just like me!!

Overall we had so much fun in Folly Beach. I can't wait to go back and spend more time at the beach and teach my brother how to find the best sea shells. Thanks for a great week, we love you Grandpa Cold Beer and Grandma Lynn.
