Brownies Anyone?

She brought a plateful outside to share with her friend and Phelan. They have been playing outside almost everyday this week after school. They made a friend with a neighborhood boy, Quin, who has been playing with them too. I think he's a bit younger than Kadie, but not too much. Phelan just loves having a boy around to rough house with.
Today they had a whole group of kids playing out front of our house with them. Kadence is great at gathering friends. They each had different bikes or scooters. One girl brought sunblock, another kid brought snacks, and Kadie provided a towel, blanket, and pillow to lie on. They had quite a little block party going on out there.

Kadence has turned eight. In preparation for getting baptized we bought her a new white dress for her birthday and I took her out to do a photo shoot in it. Turns out to be the last pictures of her with her front baby teeth. She lost one the night before her baptism, and the other a few days later. :)





Phelan's shot.
He enjoyed running around on the golf course, and even stayed behind me when I was taking pictures of Kadence, most of the time anyway.

I can't decide if I like this one better in color....

or sepia tone...

Kadence's school is having Spirit Week this week. Today was "dress as your role model or hero". Kadence said she wanted to dress like me. I kept asking her if she could think of anyone else she'd rather be, but she just said, "Nope, I want to be like you." So I loaned her my "Harvard" shirt and she wore her play glasses and her boots that match mine. I think the cutest was when I went to bed I found my shirt folded neatly on my bed.

(This one just makes me laugh.)
