Playing Catch Up

I haven't blogged in about three months, and just wanted to put a couple of old pictures in here to get caught up.


Kayla wore her Cinderella pajamas for PJ day. She was a "Friendly Frog" in Ms. Lisa's class.

Ready to feed the ducks!

 We have to stand on the tables so the ducks don't bite our legs.
 
In May, Kayla was invited to a fourth birthday party for Chloe -a girl in her class from daycare. The party was at a place in Fayetteville called the Glitterbox and she had a blast!!! The girls got mani/pedis and were pampered like crazy. It was a great party!
 

I thought the statement on the wall was very appropriate!! If you can't read it, it says, "It's not easy being a PRINCESS, but somebody's gotta do it!"

I got to hang out with my sister, Rhyan, and her beau, Sam, on Mother's Day weekend in Little Rock. It was a great time for family!! And we got to climb Pinnacle Mountain which is about a mile hike up a really large hill. Since I was six months pregnant at the time, I got quite a few looks on the way up!
 
The Rogers Aquatic Center openned up this summer. I took Kayla the second or third weekend it was open. She had a blast, but pretty much spent the whole time jumping to me from the side of the pool.

One of our favorite mommy/daughter things to do is go to Auntie Anne's pretzel store at Pinnacle Hills Promenade and get a coke icee and pretzel. Then we walk down to the water fountain so Kayla can put her feet in the water and throw five or six coins in the fountain.
 
 
Kayla went to vacation bible school this summer for the first time. The theme was "Stand Strong for God". She LOVED it! One of her favorite parts of attending VBS was getting to ride the shuttle that ran from our church to Highlands United Methodist where the camp was held.
 
This is a photo of her and a friend she made there.

Since Kayla has been about one and a half years old, she has loved throwing rocks in water. We modified our rock-throwing a little bit this summer, and converted it into Barbie throwing...and swimming. Her dolls' first outing was to Lake Windsor.
 
 


For the past three years, Dad has lived in Clarendon working on getting his retirement, while Mom has been in Little Rock. Occasionally, they meet in Fort Smith on the weekends instead of making the full drive to one another's houses. Sometimes, I drive Kayla down to Fort Smith so she can spend the weekend with them. Mom took this picture of her while swimming in the Aspen hotel swimming pool.

Kayla got about 5 inches cut off of her hair the week before her fourth birthday party. It made her look so grown up!!
