Photo Fun

I took a few other pictures of the girlies and played around with Picasa 3- a FREE photo dealie (I know that's not a word). Anyway I had lots of fun playing with color and other alterations or whatever you call them. These are of Kinley and Shea.

Painted Pony Farm Field Trip with Kinley

McKinley and Kate on the bus being silly...

Photo op...my sweet little kindergartner!

Cute little girl holding a cute little chick... she put the thing to sleep!

Feeding the goats- she was trying to feed the baby, and was a little scared when the big mama's came over...

The girls...The first two on the left are the girls Kinley talks about all the time- Bella and Kate. They love each other and are SO cute together! Kinley comes home and tells me about their conversations- usually silly, but they always compliment each other. I love it!

Since it's a little difficult for me to get into the kids' classroom regularly, I attempt to go on their field trips with them whenever possible. My name was drawn out of the hat for Kinley's field trip, and she was so excited! I was too. We had such a fun day with her little friends. As you can see, there was a lot to see and do. She learned all about a working farm- this one is family owned and the tour was given by the husband, wife and daughter. Farmer Pam makes homemade goat ice cream the night before each field trip comes, and it was delicious. She got to milk a goat, hold baby chicks, feed the goats and sheep, and we saw a huge pig, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and I think that's it. It was so much fun and the weather was just perfect. My favorite part had to be watching how Kinley interacts with her little friends and with her teacher. I think she may be Mrs. Fitzpatrick's favorite...of course!

Happy 6 1/4, Kinley!

Well, since poor Kinley's birthday falls on December 30, it's always a little difficult to plan a party for her. I kept promising in January that we'd have one for her (and she told all of her friends...), so we planned a pretty untraditional "6 1/4 Birthday Party" for her. Six of her friends came over and we had some girly-girl fun! She was beaming the whole week before as she looked forward to the second official party she's ever celebrated.
We love our little Kinley girl! Here are the reasons why...
1. She always has a smile on her face.
2. She always jumps in and helps with whatever needs to be done.
3. She's not a complainer.
4. She loves to be silly and to make us laugh (rapping is the most recent source of fun- "boom, chick, boom, chick, a wicka-wicka-wicka-wicka WORD") complete with "rapping arms" and sideways ball cap...
5. She loves to dress up and has particular style beyond her sisters and mom.
6. She's sensitive, sweet, thoughtful, helpful, and a ball of fun!
