Brandon and I have been busy painting the kids' rooms. Kennedy moved into the basement when uncle Nick moved out at the beginning of the month. We sure do miss him!!!! We had to paint over Nick's Army Green with Princess Pink- which takes about 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint:) Below is pictures of our work in progress (Parkers room). We are painting over the beautfiul pink and white stripes that took my mom 12 hours to tape/paint last summer- with a lime/olive green that matches our new elephant baby bedding!!!
Here we are adding the dark brown around 3ft up the wall where we are going to add a white chair rail!!!! That is when Brandon figures out how to do it:)
Here is our bedding!!! I had the hardest time finding something simple- but absolutely adorable and not BLUE!!! I just love it- Carters Green Elephant Crib Set!!! I can't wait to finish the room!! I will put pictures of the finished product up as soon as Brandon does the chair rail so hopefully in a week or so!!!
Kennedy moves up this week from the pre-school room the the pre-kindergarten room!!! She is so excited!!! Today at school is CRAZY DAY- where they dress and do their hair CRAZY. We put pigtails in with pink stripes (thanks aunt TRACI). She looked super cute!!!! This is shortly after Parker had his first food- cereal!!!
Here h is just not sure about the whole cereal thing!! But he decides to give it another try!!
I think he made this face after each bite he tried:) By the end of it he was opening his mouth faster than I could get another spoonful ready!!! I'm so glad it went well- probably cereal a few more days and then fruits and veggies!!!! What a big boy already!!!!!
On Sunday we went to the park by our house!! Kennedy had so much fun!! Parker enjoyed the walk there and his new toy elephant!! 
This is Kennedy's school in the back ground where she will attend Kindergarten next year!!!
This was Brandon's only day off all week- so we took full advantage of it!!
Here is Parker getting ready for a bath!!! He just loves bath time!
Again, at the Park-what a ham!
Getting better at tummy time:)
First time trying sweet peas- not quite sure about them- but last night we had sweet potatoes and they were a BIG hit!!!
This is Kennedy's CRAZY day outfit- she had sooo much fun. But I think I may have gone over board on the pink hair. I have a feeling next year they will send out letters saying no hair dye on crazy day!!! But all of her friends loved it! She definitely had the craziest hair:)

BUMPER CARS!!!!
Bouncing in the BIG Castle!!!
Tired of the whole pretend driving the truck in a circle:)
Now this was more Kennedy's style- a pink and blue jeep!!!
Kennedy likes to dress up like a Fairy!!
Kennedy entertains(babysits) Parker for me- she is so good with him!!! But I think she is a little jealous of all his cool toys!
I caught Kennedy playing with Parkers Gym during his nap time! She is such a cutie!!
Brandon and Parker rocking!!!! Parker loves to giggle at daddy!!!
Kennedy dressed herself- what a cute little model!!!
Grandpa and Grandma Kennedy with Kennedy :) We stayed with them when we went to my cousins wedding in Ames!!! We had a lot of fun!!!
Nick with Grandma and Grandpa!!!! It was so nice to see them!!
Parker is a big fan of cousin Gus's bouncy chair...thanks Gus for letting us borrow it:)
The first 10 photos I took I kept missing his smiles. By the time the camera flashed he had stopped smiling and was a little scared at the bright lights!!!
Here Parker is modeling his newest Michael Jordans...just like daddy.
Grandma Lu and Parker relaxing on Mother's day weekend!!!
