We went to a birthday party on Saturday and the kids were so excited to get to ride some horses. It was so incredibly hot and the barn was not air conditioned but they didn't seem to mind. Parker was unhappy because he was getting off the horse, not because he didn't want to be on it.

Kennedy was thrilled. She really wants to take riding lessons but after looking at the cost of them, I doubt that's in her future any time soon.

Emerson was too little to ride the horses, but she sure did enjoy all the animals.

As most of you know, I am every so slightly obsessed with my children's clothing. I know I won't get to dress them forever so I am taking full advantage of this time in their lives when I can put them in all the cute clothes I can. I'll be selling their clothes at the consignment sale I started, The Posh Closet Sale. Our Fall/Winter sale is August 5th & 6th at the South Charlotte Banquet Center and we're considering doing a one day sale in the Huntersville area as well in August.

Our attempt at a group pic

As usual these pictures are all backwards, I never get them on here in the right order! I have so many things I'd like to post from the past 6 months. Time just flies so quickly each day that I never get around to doing it. Kennedy was in a musical theatre class this year which she really enjoyed. She loves to sing and dance and perform so it really was the perfect class for her. She had her final performance two weeks ago. Thank you so much to all of our family members that made the day special for Kennedy. Thanks to Roger & Bonnie and June for coming down from Winston Salem. Thanks to Lara for coming down from Boston. And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Bob for sending flowers since they wished they could be here.

We couldn't get Emerson off the stage. Maybe we'll just become a traveling family drama troupe.

Kennedy could not be bothered to get off her imaginary phone call to take the picture. I think we're going to be in trouble in a few years!!

This is so Parker like. While he does enjoy dressing up in Kennedy's princess dresses, he really is a typical boy.

Our little drama queen.

This is Kennedy's teacher Miss Cathy. We were soooo very disappointed to hear that she is moving to Florida. She was the best teacher Kennedy has had so far and she did a fantastic job with the kids. So sad she won't be able to have her again next year.

It was a loooong day for the young ones. They'd been there practicing since 3 and it was after 8pm at this point.

There were 5 different classes and each class did four numbers from their own musical and then they all did a finale together with a medley from Bye Bye Birdie. Kennedy is just to the left of the boy in the green shirt.

Kennedy's class did Annie. This is Kennedy interrupting her number to wave to her adoring fan AKA Parker who apparently just kept waving to her.

I love these pictures of Kennedy, except that looking at them reminds me she's growing up so quickly!

We did some pictures of the kids in April. I love these first two. Emerson just loooooves to hug and kiss.

But apparently she's pretty possessive!
