Ms. Straight Hair

Mom, if you're reading, stop now - you won't like this!

Kennedy was born with beautiful curly hair. One might even call it 'unruly' at times but it's sweet and it's Kennedy. Of course, however, she wants long STRAIGHT hair all the time. I finally gave in and straightened her hair with a straightener, she looked so different!!! I can't blame her though, I remember being a teenager and despising my curly locks (I now love and appreciate them). Here is Ms. Straight Hair:

Kennedy's Flower Girl Dress

Kennedy will be the 'flower girl' in my sister Tammy's wedding in August. She is very excited to be all beautiful and carry flowers. It's a casual-type wedding at her cottage, so we wanted to find something summery but still beautiful and flowing for her to wear. I found this outfit and it's just perfect and as a side bonus, it's a skirt/top combo so easy access for tube feeding! Woohoo! She loved it and I think she looks adorable in it. I can't wait to see her in it with her hair all done up with flowers.

Bowling Banquet 2007

Kennedy had her very first bowling banquet today. She got two trophies, two plaques, and a medal! I was, needless to say, a VERY proud mama. She was SO excited as she hadn't won a trophy before so getting two big ones was just like winning the lottery. She was so pleased to see her name engraved on everything. She was hugging her trophies and was pleased as punch standing up there with her team. She got awards for "Most Improved New Bowler", 2nd place team for tournament, personal high triple, single, and average, 2nd place overall team, attendance, and about four certificates for various categories. It was such an exciting day - it will be a long summer without bowling. I'll have to continue taking her once in a while so she keeps her 'game' on. Here are some pictures from the day's festivities:

Music Festival

Kennedy sang with her school choir in the Provincial Music Festival this week. She knew every word and sang her heart out; I was SO proud! Here are the videos, they were taken from up on the balcony with just my regular camera, not a dedicated video camera, so they aren't too crisp but you can see her, she's on the right end of the first row.
