Summer fun!

I was going to try to put these in some kind of order, but that takes alot of work. So here are pictures and comments of the beginning of summer for us. We attended the College of the Ozarks Honor America program. There were fireworks! Kevin and I enjoy being Grandparents so much! It is way better than being parents. I guess that is why they put the GRAND in front of parents... Kennady is sure a Grandma's girl!

Dustin is attempting to grow facial hair. (and he refuses to smile for the camera)

Kennady likes to blow rasberries and spit...

Jovie and Kennady have fun together alot! (you gotta watch out for those older cousins!)
Jovie will make a wonderful big sister in January.

Kennady REALLY loves Nilla Wafers!

This is what happens when you take them away form her...

Delila is another cousin that came for a visit. I tried to get a picture with all three little girls, but Delila wouldn't .

More Kennady cause she is so cute! Grandma found the cutest dress for the 4th of July!

Two Little Monkees!!

Swimming at the Lake is Kennadys favorite activity (besides eating). We like to head out to the lake after a long day at work.

Kennady loves to splash!

And Splash.....

and Splash...

(I actually put that on twice and I cant figure out how to get pictures off once I get them on..)
and then the sun sets!

Makes for great lighting...

Just the cutest baby ever!

Building a Bridge...

Here is the latest project at our house... Dustin decided to build a bridge over the creek in our yard. He had his friend Aaron come over and help. Kind of reminds me of the Tom Sawyer painting the fence story- power tools were involved!

The bridge turned out wonderful and Kennady really likes it alot. She has decided to be the toll collector. You have to get past her to cross the bridge. Dont let her small size fool you, She is so adorable that anyone will stop and pick her up and forget they were crossing a bridge!

Hard to just walk on by!

This has nothing to do with the bridge, but Stupidcat just looked so content watching me take pictures that I couldnt resist taking a picture of him.

Another change of subject. This is now the view out my back window. It used to be just woods and very green and tranquil, but now a house is being built right in my back yard. I am not too happy about it, but not much that can be done about it and I hope I end up with good neighbors!

Update.

Dustin is back for a little while. He needs more prep time. He is planning on going back out soon. It has been a busy weekend.

He's gone!!

He is gone! It is official! Yesterday, June 3rd, we took Dustin to the airport and sent him off to the MTC! A couple of weeks ago we went to the temple and had a wonderful day!! Here are some pictures!There is nothing better than going to the temple with one of your children!! It was a wonderful day!

We arrived at the airport Very early in the morning with all of Dustin's luggage.

And away he goes!!
Stay tuned for more Dustin on his mission stories!!
