Kennedy tries to say so much these days, but my favorite is when she tries to imitate animal sounds!

preparing
We are leaving late tonight to go to Washington DC for Rick's brother's wedding. We have been doing lots of preparation for the big day - shopping for dresses, finding shoes, mending a suit, ironing, packing, cleaning, and most importantly dancing! The girls are excited to go the reception and get their groove on. Lately Rick has been playing the piano in the evenings and the girls dance around. I decided to catch it on tape the other day.

i'm lazy
So I apparently decided to take the summer off from teaching Reagan very much. I decided to try to be more diligent with teaching her new things, so I was super impressed with our first "lesson." I took a few tips from my cousin-to-be Jill about what things kids are learning in preschool and kindergarten, as well as a few new ways of teaching these things. I decided to start with writing, since she obviously loves letters and words. I spent about 15 minutes working with her on writing the letters A, B, C and D. Here are the results...
(Sorry the picture is fuzzy, I still haven't bought a camera yet and am using my mom's back-up in the meantime...)
Isn't that awesome?!! I was sooooo excited! My little, big girl is learning again!

we miss uncle nicky
"Hello Uncle Nicky! Are you somewhere near St. Louis? I suppose you are. Bye!"
That was Reagan's fake conversation with my brother the morning after he drove back to St. Louis. His trip here was waaaay too short! (Not to mention that Reagan was not herself with a 103 degree fever for 3 days - yuck!) We tried to see him as much as time would allow. The kids (of course) loved him!
Having fun at the Children's garden, after some yummy Potbelly sandwiches.

We have some very strange children...
Yea, we said "smile." They heard "act like freaks!"
Nick chasing the kiddies - I love their faces!
I love being in charge. I told them to stand on the clover... so they did!
Why on the clover? Who knows. Guess I thought it was funny that they did what I said.

Which one do you think will be the bully?
Nick threw Austin, over and over and over and over... (Molly's face is priceless) 
So now the kids are back to being bored. When are you coming back Nick?

seriously
where does she come up with these things?
More Reagan-isms...
Will you get me a yellow bandaid to put on my teeth so I can have yellow teeth?
Bad people have underwear full of tinkle. Good people have a potty full of tinkle.

independence day
We have great friends, and our great friends have great parents. That is why we had a wonderful weekend filled with friends, sand, water, boating, games, food, fireworks, not much sleep, tons of fun...
Lake Michigan was a little chilly - 52 degrees. So we mainly played in the sand. Only Mitch and I were actually brave enough to swim in it. Reagan enjoyed the sand...

I love Lake Michigan! So pretty - even overcast!
The girls liked digging, but both hated having sand on their hands.
Kennedy didn't really mind the cold water too much.
Kennedy started to really like the sand by the end! She even tried to eat it!
Katie Roll being cute playing ring around the rosey with the kids.
Kennedy still being cute in the sand.
Part of the gang playing cards, Austin and Kara showed up later.
Lindsey and Troy being cute on the boat.
Reagan riding with Daddy on the boat. She really liked it for the first 45 minutes or so and kept asking for us to go faster.
Kennedy didn't really like her life vest.
The kids, Kennedy, Hayden(?), Reagan, Mason, Ady, Skyler. (Missing Blake and Hannah)
The kids are so funny together!
Adam's sister are so great with the kids - they absolutely adore them!
Kennedy enjoying a freeze pop, ahhh the life!
It was a wonderful weekend. The kids did as well as could be expected. Reagan LOVED playing with the other kids! Lori, of course, spoiled us with great food. We love you Rolls!
