Camping Time

This past weekend we went camping with our good friends Amy & Nathan at Cuivre River State Park and had a blast.  There were 4 adults and 4 kids (a 4 yr. old, 3 yr. old, 2 yr.old & 1yr. old) and we all survived and the kids did really good too.  The kids did lots of bike riding to burn off some of their energy.  Emma had fun being pushed all over by Jeffrey. We also hit the beach (forgot the camera) where everyone got to play in the sand and swim a little.  I also realized I didn't take any pictures of tents or kids in tents (oh well....maybe next time).  We took Emma's playpen and she slept in that and Will had his own sleeping bag.  I had brought a 2 man dome tent I thought the kids would love to play in but they had more fun jumping on the air mattresses in the big tent.  Hopefully this is just the first of many fun little trips with Will's best friend Jaden.

Can't go camping without yummy smores!!!

Sydney's 4th Bday & Mother's Day

Sydney the birthday girl turned 4 on May 12th.  We went in town to help celebrate and everyone had a great time.  Will and Syd are only a month apart and it is so much fun to watch them grow up.   Happy Birthday Miss Syd....you are turning into quite the beautiful little girl.

Emma had to practice her hula hooping and art skills.

Everyone had to hitch a ride in the car!!

The very next day was Mother's Day and we it was such a beautiful day we decided to go to Shawnee Mission Park and just have some family fun.  GiGi was able to enjoy and was in fairly good spirits and the got to spend time with all 3 of her great grandchildren.  Since we live out of town it is not very often we can all get together.

We go to enjoy some very traditional family activities.  Frisbee and soccer, tea parties in the park and keep away from Will.

Here are some random pictures from that day.

Carnival Day

Friday was Will's last day at school and we finished it off with a carnival.  I can't believe his 1st year of pre-school is done and next year he will be in pre-k.  Will has come so far this year and has learned so much.    Will had so much fun at the Carnival he actually came straight home and took a nice long nap for me which rarely happens any more.  We started our day with a 3 legged race.  There was a jump house, an obstacle course, games, musical chairs, riding bikes, snow cones, face painting and many prizes.   We then finished off the day with a picnic lunch.

Just like brother

Emma got ahold of Will's backpack and was strutting her stuff all over the house.  She thought she was the coolest and was having the time of her life so I had to take a few pics.   It's not that long they are this age and before I know it she will have a backpack of her very own.

Awww........

My Mother's Day present from Will that he made at his pre-school.

Sprinkler Fun

It was about 90 degrees yesterday and we still haven't opened our pool so we broke out the sprinkler.  Even as hot as it was Will had to wear his rain coat and boots as he played in the sprinkler. The clothes still got completely soaked but he had a lot of fun.  Emma wasn't too sure about the sprinkler but decided to practice her soccer skills.  I think we are going to have a lot of fun this summer!!

Here's.........................Woody!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this picture was just too cute to not post.
