Matt's family genes are very dominant

Matt just came back from Houston with lots of pictures. We were looking at some of the pictures and realize how much our kids look like Matt's side of the family. Below is a picture of Matt when he was young (top) and a recent picture of Brady (bottom):

Below is Matt's mom Patricia (top) and a recent picture of Kinley (bottom).

We tried to find a similar of picture of Kinley with her mouth closed but seeing Kinley with a closed mouth is almost imposssible :) (I have recently started calling her motor mouth).

Kinley's dance costume and our new water slide

Kinley's dance recital is coming up June 8th. They are dancing to a tap number named "I'm a little Teddy Bear." Kinley is only kind of interested in dance so this may be our only dance class but at least she looks cute! It has been clost to 100 degrees in Lubbock the last couple of days so I decided we needed something to cool the kids down. Kmart had this water slide on sale so we bought it and have had the best time.

My first vegetable garden

I have always wanted to have a vegetable garden and this year we finally did it. I am so excited! Matt built me two garden boxes and we fenced off the area to keep the dogs out. The area still needs some work (weeding and the fence) but I think it turned out really nice. We also got a dwarf fuji apple tree. It will probably be next year before we have apples but I can't wait. Here are some pics:
