Fun in July

When people here that Scott works from 4:00-12:00, they first say, oh thats a horrible schedule.  But it's actually a perfect family schedule if your kids aren't in school.  We have a lot of fun.  Here are a few things we have done this July.

Happy 4th of July!  We went to Allen's 4th of July Celebration.  The girls had fun on rides, but most of all loved getting their hair done like Elsa and Anna and colored!  It took me 4 shampoos to get all that blue out of Kadee Lynn's hair.  Kadee Lynn has so much more fun when Estelle is there.

Kadee Lynn participated in the kids bike/scooter/wagon Parade in Allen.  It was the farthest she ever rode her bike (around a corner of the shopping mall).  She won for best decorated bike!  (She also was the best dressed but I guess she couldn't win both awards)....mommy and daddy loved her prize - a $50 BBQ giftcard.  Woohoo!

 "I'm the winner!"

About every 1.5-2 weeks we go up and visit Grandpa and Grandma Stanworth.  Kadee Lynn loves playing with them.

Daddy had a birthday!  According to Kadee Lynn he is 46 - quite a bit older than reality.  :).

We decided to try out Six Flags water park.  Kadee Lynn wasn't too fond of standing in line for the big rides that we could go on as a family in rafts.  So we stayed in the kids zone.  She was 2 inches too short for the kids slides, which were pretty big - but we managed to sneak her on.  She thought she was such a big girl, especially for going on the tunnel slide by herself.  She cried when we had to go home.

We are huge fans on Little Elm Beach Park.  Scott gets a little bored of making sand castles and playing in water with no waves.  But he LOVES to paddleboard now.  Kadee Lynn is also a big fan.

Unfortunately there aren't any indoor malls in our town.  But we will occasionally drive 30 minutes to one - as it is SO hot.  Lately we have been watching wipe-out and American Ninja warrior as a family.  Kadee Lynn came up with this course at the mall by herself.

Kadee Lynn gave her first talk in church!  She was so excited, as she was sick the week she was supposed to give one in Utah.  Her talk was on her ancestor Elizabeth Taylor (Her great-great-great-great-great-grandmother).  She told me she wants to die so she can go to heaven and see her.  We had a big talk about not wanting to die because she needs to be here for all of family.  Kids are so cute.
