What We've Been UP To

This last Thursday and Friday Rob had a conference at Zion's National Park, so we joined him and enjoyed some hiking, swimming and relaxing. Unfortunately, my blasted batteries died so I don't have any pics to share. (Rob took some on his phone, but I am too lazy to ask him for his phone and download the pics) Kennedy made friends with a cute girl from England...when she would talk to Kennedy it was constantly what? what? Mom, I can't understand her, what is she saying? Let's just say Kennedy has officially been introduced to "accents".

The last month or so, Kennedy has been saving up her allowance to buy a unicorn that she spotted the first time we went to B&N. She has done wonderful with doing chores, keeping her bedroom clean and making her bed every morning. Now that she has this sooo desired Unicorn, I wonder if she will keep up her good work? We'll have to see.

Kennedy and her beloved "Snowflake"


Yesterday, we took the kids to a duck pond to feed the ducks and geese. We spotted a couple of turtles too, which they loved seeing. Conner was letting them eat the bread right out of his hand (he referred to every one of them as the "ugly duckling"), Kennedy was a little on the weary side. Needless to say, they both had a fun time and we came away with poop free shoes!!! yeah!






And FINALLY....the highlight of my week....drum roll pppllleeeaaassseee...Conner stayed in nursery the whole time today at church, no falling apart at the seams because they took the toys away from his when it was time to go to the "lesson room". He was immediately given a treat when he got home!
