Back on Memorial Day, we celebrated our sixth anniversary. We decided to head out to the botanical garden in Grapevine and have a picnic. On our way, we picked up a pizza from one of our favorite places. Once we got there, we attempted to eat our dinner, but Kennedy had different ideas. She was pretty eager to explore the garden so we were on the move after her. While there, we were able to snap a couple of photos before the mosquitos got after Rachel.
The following weekend, we headed to Amarillo to celebrate the marriage of our friends, Brice and Lindsey. We're all pretty busy and have gone our separate ways, so it's always a special treat when we get to spend time with them. We're happy that they're now married and wish them the best in the future together. At the reception, Kennedy sure surprised us. She stayed up way past her bed time because we couldn't hardly keep her off of the dance floor. She always enjoys being around other people, but she really seemed to thrive in the middle of all the action at the reception. She played so hard that she didn't even make it out of the parking lot before falling asleep.
The wedding also got us to thinking about Whitney and Nate's upcoming wedding. We look back at the early days of our marriage with such fond memories. We were still in college and life was more carefree so we can't help but to get excited for Whitney and Nate.
That Sunday, we headed back home for another work week. Everything started out just like normal, but on Tuesday, Rachel got the call that Kennedy was ill and needed to go home. It turns out that several of the kiddos had come down with some stomach crud. On Wednesday, it wasn't clearing up so we called in some backup help. Puma flew in on short notice to give Rachel the opportunity to get some uninterrupted time at the office. As luck would have it, Kennedy's stomach problems cleared up on Thursday. That's OK, they took advantage of opportunity to spend some time together.
With all of this walking, Kennedy has discovered that she can pick something up and carry it more efficiently than when she was crawling. Since then, she's been carrying stuff all around the house with her. On Saturday evening, she was walking around with her purse so we couldn't help but snap a picture of her with it.
On Sunday, we met up with the Jalbert's for brunch to celebrate Matt's birthday. On our way out, Kennedy and Addison held hands as we were walking to the car. We could watch those kiddos all day long.
