Happy Birthday Papa!

So I forgot to post for Joel's birthday yesterday, but since all he said he wanted to do was chill out and do nothing... well I didn't get any pics taken! We did go to the gym to work out and swim, and had a nice dinner at Pappadeux's after 5:00 mass (yes we made it to church!), so all in all it was a nice day. happy birthday Big Daddy...

From kenna's camera!

Last year for Kenna's birthday my sister gave her a VTech kids camera - very cool, and although it has taken her awhile to figure out how to take 'good' pictures, she has lots of fun with it... I have a hoot every time we download the pics to her pictures folder to see what she has taken pics of lately. Thought I would share some of my favorites! hold your laughter til the end... :)

We'll see what gets the attention this next year! ;)

End of summer fun...

My first success at a juice box! Mom still had to hold it but I tackled that little straw this time! Bring on the world, baby!

How was my dismount?

Do i get to keep the gold?

First time to the "driving range"! papa was so patient... she had a great set-up, but then the swing! Oops - she said 'I think I was supposed to hit the ball'!!!!!!!!!!

How long til Halloween? :)First day of Fall Preschool!

The Greatest Show on Earth

For weeks we saw billboards with ads for the circus, so finally I told joel we just had to go. We went to the one in Dallas at the American Airlines center and it was GREAT! Even Papa had a great time (lol babe...) I tried to remember pictures, but seems like most of what I got was the elephants (surprise, surprise) and "Bello" clowns (he was the 'star' of the

show!)

Bellobration (everyone with 'Bello' hair!)

LOVED the elephants (Adelyn too!)




So cool this thing spinning around above the ground (nothing below!) and they are running around and flipping inside it and chasing each other!!




Other highlights were the tigers (Joel's favorite?), the dog show (including the Great Dane!), and Bello and his 'sweetie' doing acrobats at the top of the 40 foot poles right in front of us (all while swaying back and forth over the crowd) - crazy!

More summer fun!

Cha Cha at Rainforest Cafe! Kenna's new favorite place to eat (even though she still doesn't like the gorillas...)

Ooh la la! Anything she can hold on her arm like a purse she loves!

Circus time! those pictures will be next!
