Birthdays and Barney

 Happy 2nd birthday to Kendall!  

We celebrated Kendall's birthday with her today at her home.  Kirk got to play with his friends Caden and Caroline, too.  He had a good time and is really good at saying "Happy birthday!" and can even sing the happy birthday song....to everyone!  

 Kirk liked Kendall's purple mirror that said "You're beautiful!" when he pushed the button.

Kirk also really liked Kendall's pink dress!  He had to check it out for a while before giving it back to her.  He's amazed by girly things, I think!

Kendall got a really "awesome" (as Kirk says) water table for her birthday.  The kids had a great time playing in it.....and basically swimming in it!  They were all soaked! 

Kendall also got a house.  Kirk loved opening and shutting the door!

Kirk loved "cooking" on Kendall's new grill.  He made hamburgers and hot dogs.  He was pretty good at scooping them up with the spatula!

We went to see Barney Live on Tuesday, May 31.  Kirk had a blast!  He knew the songs, and sang and danced all through the show.  He didn't take his eyes off the stage once!  Angel, Riley and Brad went with us.  I included some video of him dancing above. It's sideways (because of the way the camera was held....we just got a new camera, so now we know you can't edit video angles!) but I included it anyway because it's hilarious how hard he was dancing!  He loves the "Dino Dance" song and he danced his little heart out.  He was super excited the whole time, and was even looking for Barney under the bleachers and in the bathroom afterwards!

Kirk smiled and clapped along through the whole show.  He did the moves to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "If You're Happy and You Know It!"

Kirk refused to take a decent picture with Riley after the show.  This is the best we could do.  Everyone had a great time!  Barney is "super-dee-dooper!!"  Haha!

I hope to post more regularly over the summer.  I am so glad to be on summer vacation and we have already had some crazy trips to the pool.  Kirk acts like the Tasmanian Devil for the first hour or so we are at the pool, and then he calms down a little.  He has absolutely no fear of the water (or anything else, for that matter) and he loves "swimming."  He told me on our way home yesterday, "Mama, swimming is so fun!"  I had to laugh!  He also has learned to count to 13 (I count with him to 20 before I throw him in the pool....he loves it!).  He gets a little messed up after 13, but he loves to say "seventeen" and says it about 5 times before he moves on!  He also said "Hey ladies!" to some women who were hanging out around the pool....what a ladies man!  Haha!  He makes me laugh so much and I never know what he's going to come up with next!  It's going to be a fun summer!
