I now understand why my mom always kept my hair short as a little girl. It is so much easier to brush and take care of. Megan decided she was ready to cut her hair again. This time, she wanted to go a little shorter than last time. She said she wanted to have it short like her cousins Courtney, Hallie, Rachel, and Karsyn.
I think she is so cute (who wouldn't) and she totally loves it. 
Atwood asked if he could give Kendall a taste of his sucker, which she enjoyed very much.
This last week, we spent an afternoon at Lake Tapps and the kids got to play with their cousins. Of course they had a great time. 
Megan was so great. She got in the water and swam around like a little fish the whole time. 
Isn't Safeco field awesome? You get a good view no matter where you sit.
Our friends from Idaho came to visit for a couple of weeks. Last summer, right before they moved, we all went to a Mariners game together. Because they were back to visit, we all felt the need to see another game together. It really wasn't the best game (they lost really bad), but the kids had so much fun together. Dilan said the Kress family should come back to visit every summer so we can always go to a game together.
Cotton candy anyone? I love cotton candy. I am not sure if it is actually the taste or the memory of having it as a girl with my grandparents at the Seafair Torchlight parade in Seattle. Either way, it still tastes very good.
Our seats were in the sun for a while and Megan was so hot. 
This was Kendall's first Mariners game. She was really good through the whole game. 
And of course, Kendall sits and watches them all play!
After the party, Dilan's cousins all came over to have lunch and play on the water slide. After they left Dilan, Megan, and Atwood dried themselves off. I am not quite sure why they didn't just stay in their swimsuits. Before I knew it, they were outside in their dry clothes running and jumping in the water from the deflated slide. I can't blame them, the water does look inviting on a hot summer day.
Ok, so Kendall discovered her shadow. I actually don't know that she knows it is hers, but she noticed a little something there. She would bend down to try and touch it and then it would move a little so she would try to follow it with her hand. It was so cute to watch her try and grab at it and then look up at me like "Um, how come I can't get this thing".
It's so nice that she can just sit and watch the other kids swinging or playing on the water slide. She is our Ms. Social and loves to be around her brothers and sister!
Kendall loves the grass. The other kids weren't quite sure of it when they were her age, but she loves to sit in the cool grass. Her eyes aren't open here, but I just couldn't resist that smile.
