Cracking herself up...


Kez was very interested in helping Bud take apart the baby toys. And check out the free kitchen set I scored:) I was taking a run and saw it on the side of the road, so I booked it home (sorta...if you were randomly driving by on the road you would not necessarily have looked at me and thought, "Wow, that lady is hauling." it would have probably been more like, "Do you think we should stop and offer her a ride?") anyhow, I got home, grabbed the keys and flew out the door to claim my prize. It didn't fit in the trunk so I had to do some backseat cramming, but it was worth it. It even came complete with a box of dishes and food! After a quick run over with the dust rag it was ready for action. Of course, three minutes into playing with it, Kezzie ripped off the sticker on the front-the only damage to the thing and my destructive child does it in three minutes. Ho-hum. Anyhow, she loves the doors and spends most of her time opening and closing the doors. Bud and I spend our time trying to interpret the French and Spanish buttons-both claiming to have an interpretation, but both realizing the other is most likely only guessing.

Back Home

Someone learned how to be cheesy in front of the camera.
She was pulling the funniest faces...


Her birthday party with Cameron.

Well, the summer is officially over and we are back at home. I think Kezzie recognized her old stomping grounds right away. We drove through the night and pulled up to our place at 4 am. We were discussing how to get her up to bed when we heard a little voice singing "Da-da-da-da" from the back seat. That was the only noise she made the entire ride! We walked into the living room and she said "OH..." when she saw her toys in the corner. Then she went right to sleep!!

It is still nice and warm here-today was actually hot. The first few nights Bud and I felt like we were in the jungle because of all the noises from outside. It feels like a rainforest with all the crickets and other creatures singing away-but now we are totally used to it. Kezzie had to adjust to all the sounds too. The train is one of her favorites-she gets so excited to hear it come past. She also is just starting to sing along with the church bells, and she giggles at the many horns we hear each day.
