KC Overnite

Here are some other pictures of the June 4th trip to KC.  Travis and Grandpa took Mckinley to a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party. 

Jackson's Birthday Party

Jim & I went to KC for Jackson's birthday party.  It was a good day.  Jackson helped.  He made scarey dinosaurs for the water balloon attack.  He helped me make the water balloons...my poor fingers.
The tank hint was a huge hit. The guests took home dog tags and MREs.

Here Jackson and Mckinley are throwing water balloons.  Notice the boy standing behind Jackson has a broken wrist?  He actually has two broken wrists.  He managed to throw water balloons with no problem.










Grant watched from Grandpa's lap.

First Tomato of My Summer

Today, when Jim & I returned home from KC, I had a ripe tomato on the vine.

Teacher Road Trip

Keiren, Brian, & I took a road trip to Lone Jack, MO to go to the graduation party of one of our former students, Hillary.  It was a long day, but so worth the trip.

Hillary was so surprised.  She was very angry (p.o.ed, I think were her words) that she hadn't heard from us...not even a card.  Her Mom knew we were coming and kept the secret well.

I asked Hillary what her plans were...she is not letting any grass grow under her feet.  She is starting college is summer and will have her RN in two years, then go on to get BS in Nursing.  Yeah Hillary, we are so proud of you!

Bailey Has Made Himself at Home

Bailey prefers water out of a glass instead of a bowl.  He doesn't seem to care where the glass is and that he is not supposed to be on the counter.

Bailey's other big achievement is napping on the bed with Sunny.  This doesn't happen often, but I see more naps together in their futures.

Bailey is over 8 pounds now. 

Happy Birthday Mckinley!

Happy Birthday Granddaughter!  Grandpa and Grandma love you.  We hope you loved both of your cakes.

Misc. Activities Over the Last Months

                                                                                       

Jim and Lanie taking a nap.                                           

Lanie needed a new pair

shoes, so off we went! 
 She has to wear tennis to daycare, so tennis it was!

















Lanie reflecting, whatever it is 20 month old girls reflect on - probably shoes - it runs in the family.
















 Sunday, when the Kuhl's came by, it was so nice we had to play outside.
 












Jackson and Mckinley blew bubbles at each other.













Finally, Sara sent them to the yard to run off some energy for the trip back to KC.

Grant enjoyed sitting in the grass.  Notice how far Jackson is out in the yard.  He was chasing bubbles.

Bailey now weighs 8.2 pounds. He is getting to be buddies with Sunny, well sort of.
