Symphony Square

Aunt Rosie and I took Caelyn to Symphony Square for Children's Day Art in the Park twice this summer. We had a good time. We saw Cowgirl Sue and Auntie E perform. Caelyn made beautiful artwork using paper plates and colored musical instruments. She met Ronald McDonald and told him how much she loves his chicken nuggets and fries. She even got her face painted.

Easy Breezy Beautiful Caelyn Girl.

Caelyn has started her own line of lip care products. It is called "Crayola". She decided that I did not have enough color on my face and she applied "lipstick" to my lips using a crayon. She even turned my head if I looked away, said something I could not understand ("X#@hshidl&") and showed me how to press my lips together. I think reds, browns, and blues are my best colors.

Feeding Sonny

I have already given Caelyn chores. Each day she enjoys feeding Sonny his food, literally. She is pretty good about dumping his food in his bowl, but she insists on sitting right next to him while he eats. She takes a piece out of his bowl and tries to stick it in his mouth. Poor Sonny. And she gets really mad when he does not want to eat the piece of food she is trying to feed him.

The sheriff

There's a new sheriff in town!! Caelyn had fun trying on Papa's boots.

Hanging in Tyler

4th of July

Caelyn got to do her own fireworks this year. She threw Snappers and with some help held Sparklers and wrote her name. They were all safe and harmless.

Going to the zoo

We took Caelyn to the zoo for the first time. We all had a good time. Caelyn was naming and pointing to the animals or doing the signs for them. At times, Caelyn seemed to be more interested in eating Cheerios and looking at the people around her. She really enjoyed petting the goats. We think she was more interested when the animals were closer to her.

We did not teach Caelyn that

Chad look-a-like

Brick Oven dinner with family

We had a great time hanging out with the the Hornsby clan after the track meet:):)

Pet store fun

I had to go to the pet store this week to get Sonny his free birthday toy. I now know what to do if I ever need free entertainment for Caelyn. I will take her to the pet store and let her look at all the animals. She had so much fun. It was neat to see her name or sign the animals. She danced and laughed when she saw them. She really liked the turtle and birds. I had to be quiet when we walked past the sleeping kittens. She told me to shhh. We are excited to take her to the zoo in a couple of days.

Germany

Chad and I went to Germany for a conference he had. We went to Berlin and the conference was in Bad Saarow. It was amazing over there. The sites and the food were great. There is so much history over there. This was out first overseas trip without Caelyn. We missed Caelyn terribly while we were gone, but we know she had a good time at her grandparents houses.
