A few things....

I just happened to capture this little diddy tonight after bathtime. It's nice to know that for as much as Maggie teases Lucas and "accidently" hurts him, that deep down she really does love the little chunk. They aren't supposed to eat on the carpet or couch so they have to get as close as they can while still being on the tile. I thought it was too cute to not take a pic.


Of course as soon as they saw the flash, it was over in a short moment, but a sweet one it was.

Kennedy Park
This is the newest addition to my in-laws place that is already pretty great as it is. They've been wanting to get a swing set for the grandkids and a swingset they got. Not only that but they now have their own "park" in the backyard. The kids absolutely love it and I love that the swings are sturdy enough for adults too! My kids were dying to go play at Grandma Kennedys "park". You think you'll be seeing me at any regular park anytime soon? Not if I can go to a secluded one all by myself!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy for loving your grandkids and spoiling them with this awesome playground!

This is the kids running to the "park" for the first time

Lucas and Krew

Maggie on the zebra... those spring toy things.

Even Grandma Kennedy went down the twirly slide!

The awesome industrial strength, school type swing set.

Sprinklers anyone?
So the other day it was around that time, you know the couple hours before dinner that make me want to scream because my kids are bored to death? I thought it was a nice warm day and maybe they would like to put their swimsuits on and run through the sprinklers, a common summer activity that all the white trash kids like me did when you don't have a pool close or handy.(no offense to WT'ers) Well we lathered em' up with sunscreen and turned the water on and they maybe got their hands wet....a little.

She's standing on the bricks 10ft. away from the water, trying to let just her hands get wet.

"looks nice but ya right"

Just enjoing the pretty water dropletts and the rainbow it makes in the sun.

As you can see, the water mist is so thin that you can barely see the water at all and she still wouldn't get close.

My sweet little big headed boy. Oh well it was worth a try!

Holy cow Amber....your kids have their own private playground! I am going to have to show this to my parents to put a little guilt into them.

Oh...my...goodness! Where in the heck do they live? I thought they lived right by MHS? Did they move? That is the BIGGEST "backyard" that I have EVER seen! And my word those playground things are SO expensive! I like how the Kennedy's roll!:P

That park is CRAZY! That is so cool. That first picture really is so sweet. I know the 2 hours you are talking about before dinner, and I hear ya on that.

Lucky, lucky. I love the whole "playground" idea. Brett and I talked about how fun it would be to have something like that, but I didn't realize how expensive they were. You got the best of both...a huge playground and you didn't have to pay for it. I also love the pic of them two hangin out watchin t.v. That was so sweet.

Your kids are cuties!!! Are they ready for a baby sister??? I still can't believe you lift Lucas up...maybe lifting him up will put ya in to labor...if that works I will have to borrow him next month!! lol

I love the spinkler pics...your grass is so green....go Russell!! Can we come play at the Kennedy park??

Hi, My name is Lucy. You may know my brother Mike Gonzalez. I lived next door to the Kennedy's for years. I saw Helen at my nephew's funeral and told her that I had a blog. So if you could direct her to my blog that would be nice. I love seeing all the Kennedy's grown up and doing great. They hold a special place in my heart. I would love to get to see Keith's family, but they locked their blog.
