Ballroom and soccer balls

All Keegan pictures tonite - Keegan and Bill are taking ballroom dancing classes together. How sweet is that? Naturally I had to go one night and take pictures. It was after a soccer game, if you can't tell from Keegan's outfit.

The ladies and men learn their parts separately at first, then do it together.

Next class - rumba!

And one from the soccer game. I know it's right into the sun, but I like it anyway :-)

Kelsey Quote - Busted yet again

Hmmm,this is becoming a habit.

When we went to the water park, we missed two days of dance, very unusual for us. Going back, Caitlyn mentioned that she hoped one of her friends would be at dance since she had a lot to tell her after being gone for two days. Kelsey said to me, "I bet you hope your friends are there to talk to, too, don't you?" I did, and she added, "because you always have a lot to say to them even when we haven't been gone for two days."

lol - can't argue with the truth :-)

FFF Wet! (Yes, I'm a week off) AKA - Eeeeek - Kelsey is 7!!!!!

This is possibly the slowest blog post ever to be written. I don't know why, but it is taking sooooo long to upload pictures on here. I mean, I have dial-up, it's always slow, but I have been trying to load these photos for almost a week now. When it does work, it takes about an hour for a couple of pictures. So, you see my problem, as I love to post pictures :-). OK, enough griping, but if anyone has an idea about what could be causing this or how to fix it, pleaase let me know! But for now, on to the post...

Well, Kelsey, my BABY, had her seventh birthday. Instead of a party, we went to an indoor water park to celebrate. Fun, fun, fun. No crowds at all. We had a ball.

I'll post more another time, but here we go for now :-)

Coming out of the Storm Chaser. Kelsey was too short to try this one, much to her dismay, but Bill, Caitlyn, Keegan, and I all rode it. We can't decide if we liked it or not =).

Bill, Caitlyn, and Keegan reacting to this....

The girls loved the giant hot tub.

I'm such a dedicated mom. I went in it whenever my children wanted :-).

Coordinated Keegs
Kelsey asked for a chocolate chip cookie cake, and I found an Emeril recipe online. Major yum! (If you make it, add the nuts, even if you don't usually.) For some reason, Kelsey stuck candles in his eyes and nose! He has a smile, too, it just doesn't show if the pic.

Kelse had mixed feelings about the wave pool.

She is definitely not for being splashed in the face.

Kelsey and Keegan getting squirted on the see-saw. This area was actually for kids smaller than Keegan, but since it was so empty they let her play, too. Periodically water squirts out the sides and top of the see-saw.

A great time was had by all.

Everything was just right

Except the fact that my baby is now 7

SEVEN, I say

Catching up

Just cute :-)

Caitlyn to Kelsey -You are very definitely a quogger.

Kelsey - I'm not! No. I am NOT a quogger.

Pause
Kelsey - What is a quogger?
Caitlyn - A quogger is a sister who is loved very much by her other sisters.
Kelsey - Oh. I'm a quogger.

As I was disinfecting the kitchen sink after handling chicken -
Keegan - Why does raw meat have so many germs?
Kelsey - Because it comes from animals. And animals don't have hand sanitizer.

The moral of this picture - Don't count on Bill to say "no." Kelsey is now the proud owner of 5 goldfish - Long John, Finry, Dot, Red Star, and Orange Oranges.

Random Easter pics

Silly pose ;-P (In case you couldn't tell)

Caitlyn looks like she has no arms, but I like it anyway :-)

Kelsey with her eggs Easter morning

Sooooo sweet. Keegan loves animals.

Kelsey Quote

"I like the "E" sound better spelled with a "y" than with an "i-e." It's one less letter to remember."

Kelsey Quote

Kelsey woke up last night with her legs hurting. This morning, we talked about it and I told her it was probably her muscles saying, "I'm growing, I'm growing." Her unhappy response, "Why would they say that? Why don't they just do it and not say anything?"

FFF

This week's FFF theme is the beach. Unfortunately, we haven't been to the beach in years :(. so, I substituted swimming, instead. Close enough :-). These are from 2007.
