New Camera and New Pictures!

Kinsey and I drove back to Missouri for a week so I could have help with her while I did my finals and observation. Mimi and Papa had a few surprises waiting for her including a big wheel and a lawn mower that blows bubbles like Marissa's. Kyle had to take our camera back with him so we got a new one and I love it! I went a little picture happy and took a lot of random shots of her watching TV on her big wheel (it was too cold to go outside the first few days) and playing with her other new toys...

Being a little daredevil ;)

I feel like she has a Chopper...

She's too cool for school

Eating goldfish on the steps....

I love how clear the pictures are!

Getting ready to mow the lawn...

We decided to play with the classic bubbles instead...

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the North Carolina Zoo on Tuesday to have a fun family day on Kyle's last day of leave. Kinsey couldn't see most of the animals in the exhibits but she got really excited about the ones she could see. She would say "rarrr" for the bears, "oo oo oo" for the chimps, and "meow" for the lions, haha. Here are a few pictures of her and Daddy during the day.

First animals of the day...

She cared more about her raisins than the animals...


Big birdies...

Looking at the lions...

Looking at the chimps that were hiding behind rocks. They were the only monkeys other than the gorilla that wasn't visible...lame! We're going to take her to the St. Louis Zoo soon!

Trying to show her the chimps...

Walking with Daddy to see the grizzly bear...

I was trying to get a picture that showed how they were both rockin' some shades :)

Kinsey's First Haircut

Sunday we went to get Kinsey's hair cut for the first time at a kid's salon. Marissa and Amy were going that day so we got an appointment when they did thinking it would keep Kinsey happy to have her friend there but we were wrong! She had fun playing and loved the tractor chair until the lady touched her and then she was mad, mad, mad! Here are pictures and a video that Amy took...

Playing with Marissa in the waiting area...

Before front shot...

Before back shot :)

She was really excited about the tractor!

and she thought the lady was nice...

She was OK with the drape...

The water was the beginning of the unhappiness...

Getting ready to cut...

"What are you going to do with those?"

The beginning of the screaming...

Lots of unhappiness...

We moved over to the "big kid" chairs so she could sit with Daddy and that helped for a bit...

Poor Marissa didn't like her bangs being cut either...

So everyone sat in the "big kid" chairs...

Kind of cheesin'...

All done...

Then they put a lot of crap and some clips in her hair...

After back shot...

Marissa was all done and got a sucker :)

Playing after the cuts...

After shot with no clippies...

Kinsey got a sucker too and was a big fan...

Here's a video of the massive unhappiness...
