July the 4th!

We had a wonderful July 4th! It was a fun day...all day! We started the day by having pancakes - we are out of red food coloring, so Kendall asked for green! Randy even made a pancake for each of us - all of our initials! So impressive.

While Cooper took her morning nap, Kendall and Randy painted some pictures. She loves to paint but we don't do it often, so she was so excited! When Cooper woke up we went to Kendall's favorite place for lunch...Chick fil A! Then we went to the Lake Jackson pool to swim - and Kendall went down a big water slide all by herself! We were so impressed - she was so brave and we had a lot of fun.
After naps we went to our friends the Gryseels' for their annual fourth of July party! Lots of our friends from church were there, so it was a great night of just hanging out and laughing a lot!

Kendall was probably most excited about her best friends Sarah and Caleb being there!

Right away when we got there Kendall was ready to put her swimsuit on and get in the little pools Laurie and Tony had set up!

Then she ate her dinner so she could eat some of the awesome desserts they had!

For so long now, Kendall has been asking me to braid her hair. I don't know how to french braid, but Jenny does and she had braided her Brittany's hair for the party, so I asked her to teach me. I watched her fix Kendall's hair, and Kendall was so excited. She was showing it off to anyone that she saw and she just kept touching it over and over again. I have been practicing but I'm still not as good as Jenny!

Showing her braid to Jeff - he was so sweet to be so interested! :)

Sitting with "President Jeff!" Earlier in the night, she ran up to me and said, "Mom! I just saw President Jeff!" She definitely thinks he is a celebrity. :)

We had a great Fourth of July and the only thing Kendall was sad about was that we couldn't have fireworks! We look forward to maybe having some on Labor Day!
