We love Auntie Kelley!!!!!!!!!

Recently Auntie Kelley had a big modeling job on television! She modeled back to school clothes for JC Penny, which is awesome! However, it was on the Spanish channel so we can understand very little. She looks great though! Here is a video link to see she doing her thing on UTube:

Kelley is the third one out (the first of the girls), wearing a silver top/dress, leggings, and a jean jacket.

Gwen loves to watch it every chance she gets! She even points to the T.V. when Kelley comes on and say "Kayie!" "Kayie!". We are sooooo proud of you Kelley!

The final days of summer

This week I went back to work, so before doing so we all decided to have a little fun. Gram, Gwen, and myself joined Grandma Rosie, Dawn, and Gracie to see the animals at the zoo in Evansville. The girls loved seeing all the animals! Both pointed out all the ducks (or anything with wings), Gracie mooed at all the larger animals, and Gwen pointed at everything! We had a great morning checking it all out and getting in a good walk. That place is really hilly!
"Look Gracie, a giraffe and a zebra!"
On August 12th Brad and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary, and spent the weekend primitive camping in Spring Mill. I had no idea what primitive camping would involve (besides the lack of bathrooms-just a outhouse, lack of running water, and no electricity), so I was nervous to say the least! Well, I survived! It wasn't that bad at all! The actual bathrooms were within a minute walk of our camp site (thank goodness!!!) The ground is very hard to sleep on (Brad said I had to experience it all so no air mattress), but the tent was much easier to put up and cooking over the fire was almost easier than in the kitchen. We had a lot of fun hanging out together and hiking through the park.

After camping Brad and I came back to play with our little princess! Here are some recent picture and videos.
"Check me out!"
"Nimbus, what do you see?"

What happens when Gwen gets a sandbox and some sand!

Gwen is living it up as summer continues! She loves getting into everything, getting dirty, and playing dress up. We mainly have been hanging out at home during the last few weeks of my summer until I start back to work full time. I have started some trainings and I will be getting my rooms set up this coming week (if I haven't said it recently...I am now placed at David Turnham Elementary, Chrisney Elementary, Dale Head Start, and Jasper High School), but I still will have lots of time with Miss Gwen. It will definitely be a big change for both of us! However, I am now so much closer to home that it will make things so much better! Enough talking...here are her latest pictures and videos!!!!!!
"It can't just be for pushing around...I can make it a ride-on too!"
"Today I had my first pedicure...which necklace will make my look perfect?"
At a wedding over the weekend for Brad's cousin, Gwen discovered rock candy....
At the same wedding Gwen and her BFF, Gracie, got to run around and play together
"Say Cheese!"
"Now to send a text...."
Gwen recently got a sandbox and we finally set it up. She loves it! She won't pay attention to much besides the sand though....
Gwen in the sand again! She just couldn't get enough!

The slide is also a favorite pass time of Gwen's! She is so independent when she plays!
