Kaitlyn

All of my kids love one-on-one time with Gram.

Gram agreed to a makeover. Kaitlyn decided lip gloss would make a great foundation.

S’more pie coming right up.

The scribble scrubbies came out to play.

Kaitlyn couldn’t wait to perform a song before cheer practice tonight.

Kaitlyn cooked dinner tonight but was not excited about the process for the green beans. She does not like getting her hands dirty.

Soccer practice started tonight. The girls’ coach has four medals that he uses to motivate the girls. He hands them out at the end of each practice and they have to be returned at the next game. Kaitlyn got the unicorn medal for showing the most improvement.

Movie night.

When Kaitlyn got home from school, she joined Ben and they played babies for over two hours. (She hasn’t touched a doll on her own in years.)

First day of 2nd grade!

Kaitlyn made dumplings for dinner.

I recently bought Kaitlyn a transfer book. She loves it.

We checked out a new beach/splash pad today and had a blast.

Kaitlyn is practicing her “flying” skills in cheer.

Kaitlyn’s favorite place to hang out today was this box.

My kids have been looking forward to this day all summer. It was the day we washed windows and baseboards! Everybody helped and it only took a few hours with the promise of a movie at the movie theater later in the week plus popcorn and candy.

Kaitlyn had her first Cheer event today. (They are still waiting for uniforms to arrive, but t-shirts and bows are here!)

“You are welcome”

Kaitlyn has been begging for this robosnake for weeks. She carefully planned to use some birthday money and has been waiting for a free day for us to go buy it.

Practicing cheer – high V.

She wasn’t quite ready for morning…

Pop brought coloring books and crayons for these guys and they have loved them.

I was painting all day and Wade was in charge of the kids. He was super Dad and pulled out the waterslide to keep them entertained.

Evidently Kaitlyn was the big winner at the ending games today at Gymnastics camp and came home with an alligator pool float.

It’s a Thursday.

Kaitlyn’s request for summer was a gymnastics class. This week she is doing half-days gymnastics camp all week.

Kaitlyn doesn’t often make her own lunch – but she will take charge when it comes to a pb&j.

Birthday party!

These two played hide-n-seek in this box all afternoon.

It’s rather difficult to get a natural smile these days.
