Pictures by Kinsley

For Kinsley's birthday, she got one of those digital kid cameras. She (and Colby) have had a ball taking pictures. Here are a few of their best shots.

A New Baby and Shopping

First, I have to say congratulations to our friends Sara Whit and Brian. They finally (and I do mean finally) welcomed baby Lilly into this world. They are a wonderful Christian couple that will be great parents to Lilly.

Second, the Baker/Cagle clan (whom we love deeply here at the Brennan household) gave Kinsley a Target gift card as part of her birthday present. Yesterday I took her to go shopping. She was so cute. She toted her oversized Hello Kitty purse with that gift card in it all through the toy section. She was very meticulous in choosing her toy. Then she brought it to the front and let the lady scale it (scan it) and proudly pulled out her gift card to pay.

Now just random pics from the past few days.

Sometimes I think I'm looking in a mirror with this child.

I hadn't posted a dress up pic in a while.

They are so sweet together!

How grown up is she?

Tough Questions and Partying at Mimi's

Okay so first I have to tell this story. I was reading on a random blog about how this couple's 3 year old knew that Obama was president. So I decided to see if Kinsley knew the answer. This is how the conversation went:

Me: Kinsley I have a question for you.

Kinsley: Okay Mamma.

Me: Do you know who our president is?

Kinsley: Our president?

Me: Yes, do you know his name?

Kinsley: Um, I think it's Dinky Dino.

Political activists we are not.

Now, on the pictures from Kinsley's family birthday party.

Happy Birthday Kinsley!

Our little Kinsley is 4! Yesterday we had her Friend Party. We decided to scale it down this year a little bit. We just invited some of her "big kid" friends. It was a lot of fun and considerably less stressful (for me). First we had art projects for the kids. The girls made princess crowns, necklaces, bracelets, and colored their own picture frames. The boys made pirate hats, swords, eye patches, and picture frames. Then the kids got to decorate their over sized cupcakes with different kinds of candy and sprinkles. Next Kinsley, with the help of all her friends, opened her gifts. That was done in about 30 seconds, literally. We also busted a pinata and played Pin the Tail on the Donkey. It was a really fun day!

When the Pinata busted

This morning Kinsley got to open her presents from us before church. Her tummy is hurting a little so we hope it gets better by this afternoon. Mimi is having a Family Party for everyone after church.

Baby Campbell

Congrats to our friends Derric and Carrie on their new darling Campbell. A whopping 8 lbs 14 oz! Callie will be a great big sis. We can't wait to meet her!

The Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum today for the first time. I can't believe I waited this long to take Kinsley. The kids had a blast (and so did Mimi and I).

Not a picture from the museum. I just thought he looked cute eating breakfast yesterday.
