New Soccer Team!

Keegan Quote

Keegan, "How is that spider thing pronounced?"

Me, "A swastika?"

Keegan, "Yes. That's it."

Kelsey Caitlyn Quote

Listening to some song lyrics...
Kelsey, "What did he just say she wore in her eyes?"
Me, "The stars from the sky."
Kelsey, "Oh." Pause. "Huh."
Caitlyn, "That is exactly what I thought."

More Summer Fun

One of our favorite things this summer has been that Brooklin has been here to visit quite a bit. Yea!

We spent one morning at a park with fountains (referred to as "the water park" by Brooklin.) Coincidentally, we ran into some of our best friends that same day. Yea, again!

Many games of tag were played. And all these many months later, Clara, the Mouse King, and the Nutcracker are still favorites. Clara tended to get sleepier and sleepier as the game continued :).

 

Happy cousins

 

Cupcakes!

A local farmers' market recently had a cupcake contest. Both Caitlyn and Keegan decided to participate, decorating cupcakes to look like something you would find at a farmers' market. Below are the cute results!

 Kelsey went with corn on the cob cupcakes. We looked long and hard for just the right yellow candies :).

 Caitlyn made flowers out of marshmallows and topped them with colored sugar.

 And ended up winning both her age group and the people's choice award! Woo, hoo!

they had such fun and all of the entries looked so cute! Love fun stuff like this :)!

Keegan Quote

Keegan, "Kind of like during the Middle Ages... not Smurfs, but it sounds kind of like Smurfs..."
Caitlyn, "Serfs?"
Keegan, "Yes! That's it! Serfs."

Keegan Quote

"Mommy! In exactly one month, I will be a teen-..."
Me, interrupting, "This is the seventh."
[Her birthday is the 8th.]
Keegan, "NOo, it's not..oh, wait. Nevermind."

Keegan Quote

"Kelsey. You may now exit my room."

Brooklin Quote

Brooklin was having a wedding and Keegan said she would be the preacher.
Brooklin responded adamantly, "Shoo, shoo, Creature!"

Brooklin Quote

Talk, talk, talk, "please."
Kelsey and me, "Good manners!"
Brooklin, "I will keep them my whole life."

Different Swimming

In addition to swim team, the girls have gotten to swim a few times at Aunt Lisa's house with the favorite cousin, Brooklin!

Some duplicate pictures from Facebook, but I liked them enough to post twice :).

Caitlyn looking pretty (in the bathing suit we shopped hard and long for.)

Love this picture of Brooklin and Kelse. They have such fun together.

 

Yeah, Brooklin didn't look at the camera, but, oh, well :).

 

Speaking of having fun...

Keegan, Kelsey, and Brooklin have had more fun doing this

they all pile on to a float,

then tip!

And laugh :).

As I have been known to do when watching :).

Very thankful that this cutie has been here visiting so much this summer.

Hope you're having just as much fun as we are!

Bye for now!

(with a final picture of a too grown-up looking Keegan!)
