And,the photos to prove it.....

Bella and McKenzie.
Nik and Kennedi. I started babysitting for Kennedi(who is Zak's age) when she was 6 weeks old. Ironic I now have children the same age as the two kids I babysat for.

I thought this sign was funny.

The boys and I at Nashville Shores.


Bella playing at Ms. Ann's last week.

Bella helping me clean. She loves to do this. It is sooooo cute. She will even take an empty cleaning bottle and make a shhhhhh..... sound like it is spraying stuff out.






Not Me Monday

I have started following more and more bloggs of people I do not know and I enjoy a lady's blogg where she does a "Not Me Monday" theme weekly, so I decided to try it out this week. Since this is my first Not Me, I will add a lot of things that have happened in the last month since my last post:)

BTW, my mom use to say she had 3 children when my sister and I were growing up. Michelle and I would always blame "not me" when we did something wrong.

Nope, it is not me that has not taken the time to add a new post in four weeks.

Not me that had friends down here 3 weeks a go for the weekend. Nope, they were not the Mom and little girls that I babysat for when I was in high school.

Not me that spent 14 hours cleaning my house 2 weeks ago. Nope, it was not me scrubbing floors, windows, and carpets. It is not me that still feels like she has so much still to do to get the house in good shape for the start of school.

It was not me that drove the boys to Nashville to a water park. Nope, it did not take me 3.5 hours one way. Oh, well the person that did take them had a great time hanging out with just her boys. I even took them out on a jet ski.(The water park is located on a HUGE lake.)

It was not me in Nashville freaking out on the jet ski because my life was on the back of it. Nope, I was not paranoid. Yeah right!

It was not me thinking the entire time I was on the jet ski that I was crazy as a teenager in P-Cola Fl riding a jet ski with Greer.

It is not me trying to catch myself going now that the boy's football season has started.

It is not me that needs to learn how to say "no" when people ask me to do something I really do not feel like doing.

It is not me that has let herself go so much that she is 6lbs from weighing the same thing she did walking into the delivery room.

It is not me wishing Bella would slow down in changing and growing.

It is not me hoping that now that Larry's job at NAS is over things will get better. Nope, not me praying Larry and I will make past where we are right now.

There it is, the Kennedy's life for the past month at a very very quick glimpse.......

4th of July


Many of you probably do not know that The 4th of July is hands down my favorite holiday. I love the permanent scent of sunscreen on my body, the feel of the wind blowing through my hair on the boat, the sing along session with "Buffet", Cubs baseball playing in the background, the brats on the grill, and the fireworks lighting up the sky. I was so excited all last week to head "home" for a weekend of all the above. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had a different idea for this year's festivities. I arrived at my parent's house on Thursday with sunglasses on and so excited for the trip to the lake on Friday. Friday we headed to the lake and had a blast. Friday night we enjoyed brats and all the yummy trimmings. Saturday we woke to a steady cool rain that lasted till late yesterday afternoon. So much for a weekend of fun in the sun.....oh, well we were still able to spend time with the fam and see a cool display of fireworks. Of course now that my sister and Larry are gone it is beautiful and looks to be a perfect day for a trip out in the boat or to the pool.
