My Little Artist

I've been meaning to post this for days, but our week has been very hectic.  Between my dear friend's little boy having a horrible accident and now Kaylyn has strep throat, I've been a mess!

On a side note, we have a new little artist at our house :)  Over the weekend, Ashton decided that she LOVES to color.  On Saturday, we went to Hurricane Wings to eat and they give all of the kids crayons.  Ashton has never really paid that much attention to them (she is normally too busy messing with everything else that is on the table), but that day was different.  She wasn't interested in all of them, but only a yellow one.  She had it from the time they gave it to her until I had to get her ready for bed.  She held it in the car, carried it in Publix and everything.  Once we got home, she was content in her room with her yellow crayon and coloring book for what seemed like hours.  She would sit in one spot and color, then lay down and color, then move to a different spot and start all over.  At one point while sharing this cuteness on the phone with PawPaw (my dad) she even followed me in the kitchen and laid down on the floor to color some more.  On Sunday morning, I thought we were going to have to take the yellow crayon to church with us, but luckily I got it away from her.




Maybe yellow will be her favorite color...who knows?!

Hawks Rise Field Day - 2012

Friday, Ashton and I went to Kaylyn's school to watch her and her classmates participate in Field Day.  Kaylyn is so competitive and gets excited for this day every year.  I'm not sure who she gets her competitive nature from, but I do enjoy watching her compete!

Kaylyn & Ashton and Kaylyn & Penelope before the competition began...

There were things that her class did as a team and there were individual competitions too.  I didn't get a picture of Kaylyn's class doing tug-of-war, but she wasn't very excited because they lost both times.  Luckily, she was prepared for that outcome going into the day, so it wasn't that bad when they didn't win.

One of Kaylyn's favorite things to compete in is the frisbee throwing contest.  All of the girls compete against each other and Kaylyn seems to do well every year.  This year, she came in 2nd place out of all of the 3rd grade girls.

Kaylyn after her throw...she was nervous and biting her nails... 

still one of the furthest... 

Ashton and her other BIG sister Jessica (Kaylyn's best friend)...if you look, you can still see Kaylyn standing there with her frisbee in the background.

One of Kaylyn's other favorite's is the hula hoop contest.  She didn't win, but still had fun doing it and that's all that matters!

Walking and hula hooping...she's pretty good... 

In these, she is walking backwards... 

Regardless of winning or losing, it was a great day!  The weather was perfect and all of the kids really enjoyed being outside and doing activities that they love.
