Kai and Kenyon's 1st Day

Kai is in Kindergarten this year and Kenyon is in Head Start pre-school. Kenyon was very excited to start, but after four days of 9am-2:30 pm he wasn't loving it so much. LOL He asked me, "Mom, can you un-sign me up for school?"

Conference on the mound. Karter is #8

Tough loss. Kolby coached, too.

Karter got his lamb and pig ready for the Fair. His pig was naughty and an ornery SOB. He was the #15 hog in the fair though.

Ally made the tumbling performance team, too. She was nervous during her first performance so she didn't do as many back handsprings as she normally does (she can do as many as five)...she only did one and didn't quite know what else to do. I nearly missed her back whip, too, because people were walking in front of the camera..grrrr...

The Tooth Fairy Visits Kai

Kai lost his first tooth and the Tooth Fairy gave him FOUR BUCKS! Wohoo!

Summer's Over, Man!

Back to School it is!

Karter's 1st day of 6th grade. He goes to the Middle School down in town now. Kai was a little upset about it. He watched Karter get on the bus and said, "I cried a little, but then I dried it up. He's just going so far away." (it's 10 miles, Kai...LOL)

Here is Mr.Cool on his first day. I let him make his hair blonde....

"Enough pictures, Mom...I gotta go!"

Kai the Cowboy...the making of a rodeo legend.....

Kai has a dream. He wants to be a cowboy when he grows up and have "a big, pretty ranch full, and I mean FULL, of longhorn cattle with giant horns.".

Kai dresses in Wranglers every day. His Pop bought him some boots for Christmas and that boy has put 1000s of miles on them already. He wears them faithfully and has nearly worn them out. He also doesn't leave the house without the belt with his name on it that Pop also bought him for his birthday in March, just before he died. He rides his bike all around the neighborhood wearing boots and a black cowboy hat. Damn he's cute!

Photobucket

He is enthralled with cows, ranches and the cowboy life and was happier than a pig in poop when he got the chance to go to the Frost ranch in Randlett. He got to meet two rodeo cowboys (Joe and Josh Frost) and they had a little brother who even let Kai ride a goat a few times...just like a bucking bull. Well...sorta...

I think he held on for 8! LOL

Kai is hilarious and quite creative as well. He is always coming up with catch phrases and new exclamations. One of his best catch phrases that really caught on within the family is "Sweet rockin dude!!" when something is good. And, just the other day, as he was enjoying some strawberry ice cream topped with yummy berries, he just couldn't get over how tasty it was. He exclaimed, "Oh my heck! This is SO STINKIN' BROWN COW GOOD!!!" lol Oh, I do love my Kai-Kai.

"Where'd he get that shiner?"

Why do people always feel compelled to ask the mom, "You beating that kid?" when they get a black eye? (I would never hurt my baby!) But...that may sound better than the actual story...especially a few years from now. He'd probably rather say he got in a fight with his brother or got it playing baseball or something. Anything! lol

It actually looks much worse than in this pic. It's pretty black and blue.

The poor kid was on the toilet waiting for some assistance and got sick of waiting because he was excited to get in the bathtub with his brother, so he lunged forward and fell off the toilet and smacked his face on the side of the tub. Yep...a pooping accident. LOL Someday I'll pull these pics out and say, "Check out Kenyon's shiner he got when he was pooping!" Can't wait! lol

Cardinals Rule!

This one's for you, Grandma Laura!

Kenyon got a package from Grandma Laura the other day and was so excited to open it and even more excited to wear his new Cardinals shirt. He said, "When I'm big I'll hit a home run like Albert Pujols!" (it sounds so much cuter in 3 year old speak though)

Go Kenyon!
