Lawrence, KS Christmas

Holiday Break 2014 - We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas in Lawrence, KS this year.  Santa was good to the boys and we've had a lot of fun adventures with GG, Grampa and Uncle Brian.

Proud

Proud - Reece had an awesome week at school.  So proud of him!!

Play time

So nice when the boys play well together.

Soccer Game

Soccer boys - Reece is loving soccer.   For his 1st season playing he's doing great!   Zach knows how to chill at the games!

Cider Hill Apple Orchard

Apple Pick'n - There's nothing like some fresh apples straight from the tree.  We had donuts, picked apples and are ready to do some baking.  Even bought some apple butter which will be delicious on some toast for breakfast tomorrow!  We all had a great time!

High School Football

Enjoying a local high school football game.  Lawrence High against Free State.  Wonder if any of our boys will be out on the field one day...

Hurricane Football

Go Braden Go - Awesome day of football.  Braden had a great run and catch during the game. 

Football

Hurricane Flag Football - Braden is playing football this year and really seems to enjoy it.  First game today after many practices.  He's the tallest one out on the field....we just need to teach him to catch the ball.  Had a great catch and run today....almost a touchdown but his flag was picked just before the end zone.  Fun season ahead!

   

   

Kansas Sunflowers

Beautiful - I love to go and look at the sunflowers each year.  They are a sight to see!

My Pals

Artwork - Braden brought home this really cute drawing from school the other day. It portrays his 'pals' Henry, Charlie, Hank and Riley our dog. Too cute!! He even has the school uniforms ..khaki shorts and a navy blue shirt.

Soccer

Kick It - Reece is playing soccer this year for the first time. He's a natural and loves being out on the field. He gets so excited being out there and is so much fun to watch!

T-Ball for Reece

Another season behind us.  Reece did a fantastic job at T-ball this year.  He loved 'wacking' the ball and running the bases!  Way to go Buddy!!

Baseball for Braden

Braden had a great season playing Coach Pitch (aka Aaron as the pitcher) Baseball. The boys stepped it up into a tougher league and it was so fun to watch them develop throughout the season. Of course, Aaron at coach, had a hand in that as well. The highlight for Braden was playing catcher and being the only one to catch a pop-fly! It was an exciting game!!

4th of July

Great Wolf Lodge - Fun family 'stay-cation'. We enjoyed a lot of swimming and putt-putt. It was a wonderful way to spend our Holiday weekend (at least part of it). The kids enjoyed every minute of it (Aaron and I did too!)

Tooth Fairy

Loose tooth - Braden lost another one tonight.  Hoping the tooth fairy comes!!

Quiet time

Tent building -  I should have known something was going on as it was too quiet during nap/quiet time.  Reece and Braden built a fort today.  Pretty creative!

Little slugger

Baseball boy -  Reece is ready for his t-ball game!

Ice-cream boy

Every last drop -  that's my boy.  He loves ice-cream just like me. 

Tae Kwon Do

Orange Belt - Reece is on his way to an orange belt for Tae Kwon Do.  He is doing a great job and having a lot of fun.  Even some of his friends from preschool are participating which makes it extra special.  Here he turned in his white belt for an orange/white striped belt.

 

     

Morning Hike

Beautiful Morning - We started the morning off right with a hike through the woods on Memorial Day.  It was a bit muddy but a lot of fun and nature was just beautiful!

Jiggle Jam 2014

Family Music Festival - We enjoyed some music, dancing and bouncy houses at Jiggle Jam.  The family music festival featured some really great Kindie artists including two favorites - Mr. Stinky Feet and Laurie Berkner.  The boys had a lot of fun singing and dancing....and I did too!

Mother's Day

Love my Boys - Received some beautiful cards and flowers for Mother's Day.  Aaron gave me a lovely necklace.  It was a special day!! 

 

Big Boy Bed

1st Night- Zachary is growing up!  He's climbed out of his crib a few times so it was time to move to a big boy bed.  He's all excited and tucked in.  Hoping for a good night's sleep!!

Playset

Big Day -The boys were waiting patiently for their playset to be installed.  It has been 100% fun ever since!!
