Fun with Cousins

Kelly spent the night with her cousins and had lots of fun. They played American Girls, swam and stayed up really late.


Kelly loves to swim, so it's no surprise seeing her in the pool at Uncle Mike and Aunt Kelly's.


Here they are, from left to right, we have Leia, Emily, Tommy, Christion, Annie, Luke, Uncle Jonathan (rear) and our Kelly.


Kelly loves Leia.


Here are the girls in their pjs. I hope Kelly didn't keep them up too late!

Kelly's in Pennsylvania!

Yes, it's true, our little girl is visiting our family in PA-all thanks to her Daddy! Tom worked very hard to find a "hop" to the east coast and praise God, they managed to get a flight. On Friday they left from March Air Reserve Base and flew to McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey.

Kelly is having a blast. She finally got to see her baby horse, Pinky, and Mom-Mom's new puppy. Swimming in Mom-Mom and Pop Pop's pool has been one of the many highlights of her trip. Here she is swimming with cousin, Asher. More pics will come once I can get my mom to email me some.

Kelly's Vegetable Garden

About a month ago when Kelly's grandmom, uncle and cousin were visiting they planted some vegetables. They planted watermelon, dill, basil, squash, tomato, cantaloupe and honeydew. Kelly has been faithful watering them every day, and her work has paid off. Here are a few of the plants that have made progress.


This is one of the first veggies to grow-the zucchini squash. Look how big it is! We'll be picking it very soon.


Here is our other squash plant. I think it is yellow squash.


The plant in front is basil. It has really filled out and grown up. The plant in back is banana pepper. We added this one later.

More Baby Horse Pictures

So my Mom sent more pictures of the baby horse today. Thought I'd share them since they're so cute.





Kelly's miniature horse, Sierra finally had her baby! Introducing Sierra Pink Lady (I think that's the name Kelly chose). It looks like she's all head, but isn't she adorable??!!!

Today we took Kelly to the movie theater, something we hardly ever do. We saw Kit Kittredge, an American Girl Movie. It was a great family movie, and I definitely recommend taking your kids to see it.

Swim Lessons

The last two weeks Kelly has been taking swim lessons at the base pool. Just two years ago she wouldn't put her head under the water. Now she loves to jump in the pool, go down the slide and jump off the diving board.


Here she is practicing her freestyle.


Kelly jumped off the diving board more times than I could count.



Another fun part of swim lessons was going down the slide.


Here is Kelly with her swim teacher, Rachel.
