Independence Day

I know that this is really late, but I thought I would share our Independence Day Celebration with all of you. Keep in mind that Kenzie hasn't ever liked going to the fireworks because they are too loud. On July 3, we went to the river and found a park where there were many children playing, Kenzie jumped right in and started playing, she met a little girl named Lindsey, they instantly became best friends and we are going to start play dates soon. Then when it got close to time for the firework display to start, we all walked closer to the second street bridge, I have some pics below so that you can all see what happened that night. Thank you Dustin (my little brother) and Candice (my future sister in law) for taking the pics of the display. I really did appreciate that so I could chase the kids, while they took pics.

This was the first time Maddie took to the swingset and she did it a couple of hours before we went to the river for the fireworks, now I have a hard time getting her off of it. She loves the glider!

Kenzie had so much fun sliding down the huge twisting slide at the river, she didn't want to leave! I just love the look on her face here. I was lucky to get the pic, she wasn't very into having Mommy taking pics that night, so like I said, when I snapped this, I was shocked it came out due to the delayed flash on my camera!

"Mommy look, I am going up the steps to the big slide!" I was so scared for her because it was up so high, but she kept going up the steps and then sliding down and repeating the process time after time after time.

BOOM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TAKE ME HOME! That was basically what went on next. The fireworks went Boom! Kenzie screamed and then yelled to be taken home. I just put her on my shoulders and walked around with her, then she asked for Daddy, so he did the same and in a few minutes she was asking to go back and watch the "BOOM BOOM'S" with Mommy and Lindsey.

Another Boom.

"Big Boom Mommy!"

"Wow Pretty Boom Momma!"

"Look another one Mommy!"

"Daddy, Red Boom!"

"Pretty boom"

"Mommy, I like Boom!"

"Kenzie, it's ok, it is just the grand finale!"

I have to give Candice props here, after it was all over, she wanted a picture of the city line, and she got a great one! Thanks again for doing all the pics Dustin and Candice, you did great! Now for the after facts. On the 4th, Kenzie woke up and said "Mommy, I need to go to the park and play then watch Boom Booms!" I couldn't believe it! She hated the idea of it just one day prior! I am so happy that she is ok with it now though. So that was our fourth, I will post some more of the pics that were taken while we were in the process of moving as I can.

Love,

Dawn

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
