Happy Memorial Day

Jet's so excited the pool is ready to swim in again he forgot to put his swimsuit on
That Harleigh sure likes her feets

Daddy's supposed to be playing with Harleigh, but he seems to have had other ideas in mind

This year for memorial day we went on a float trip to Noel, MO. The kids stayed with my parents. Everyone had a good time, though afterwards Granny and Pops needed some much deserved rest.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy's Cake (Jet decided he was 825 years old!)
Harleigh decided to eat Daddy's rubber duckie the girsl got him since he wouldn't share his cake with her!
And Rogue went straight for the marshmallows Jet got Daddy as part of the smores they're going to make together when we go camping this summer
Daddy and Jet both like the new driver Granny and Pops got Andy...
Jet's really excited about it, but Daddy won't let him try it out....

Happy birthday Andy! You're another year older and wiser and all that. You also have 2 more kids and 1 less car this birthday that last birthday! I can't wait to see what your 27th year brings....love, your wife!

Daddy turned 27 today! (so did Aunt Betsy)

Happy Mother's Day

This year for Mother's day Jet and the girls made the gifts. Okay the girls just watched, but you know...Jet had a great time making them. And we had a great time spending the day with my mom and grandma! It was a nice and relaxing weekend, which was well needed for everyone. We did miss spending the day with Grandma Linda, but hope to make it up there soon!

Guess what it is Nanny, I'll give you a hint (it's a birdbath)

The final product
Getting the dirt ready
Jet's Dirt Hauler!

Seeing how much Jet enjoys his "garden" at our house made my mom decided to give him his own section in one of hers. He got to pick out the plants he wanted in it and Nanny even gave him a gnome to put in it!

Busy Weekend!

Rogue and her Pops

We went to Granny and Pops house this weekend for many reasons....


1) we needed to pick up the Jimmy so I'd have something to drive to work until we get a replacement


2) It's Andy's Birthday


3) It's Mother's Day


4) We needed to get our camping gear out and make sure it was all still there (we're going on a float trip over memorial Day weekend! the kids are staying with my parents)


5) Andy needed to change the oil in the truck and rotate the tires

Movement!

Here's Harleigh, Rogue started out right next to her....
And this is where Rogue ended up...
Harleigh's closeup! She's so silly!
And Rogue just thinks this is hilarious!

However, Momma and Daddy are not ready for the extensive moving/crawling to begin. Don't get me wrong, I know they have to grow up, but do they have to do it so fast? It's only been 5 months!

Mommy goes to Chicago

Harleigh and Rogue's baby (Jet handed them out, mommy thought they should get the one that has the same hair color as the girls)

Jet and the legos!

So work sent me to Chicago Weds-Friday of last week for a bioassay development training course. Oh the excitement! The course was okay, but the 3 days in Chicago was better. I hadn't been in 5 years so it was pretty nice, and whose really going to complain when the airfare, hotel and food is free! So every night after class I walked around downtown seeing what there was to see on the miracle mile and of course looking of the perfect gifts for the kids since this is the first time I've been gone since I've had them! I walked to the hershey's store down by the water tower one day just to look and got Jet a paper hat (I know it's cool) And I was very good and didn't buy all the chocolate I saw, however, if we ever get to take Jet up there they had a machine where you could make your own chocolate gift that he would love to do! Anyway, I'm walking out of the store and what do I see across the square but the American Girl store. Now I'm not so into this so I thought I'd just go in a look, not planning on buying anything. Then of course, there were these signs for the bitty baby twins department, so I had to check it out! And then there were the twins that had a blonde and a brunette in very very cute tea party outfits in purple and green. And now we have the twins, but I was good and didn't get the extra outfits! (right?) So now the girls have baby dolls! and for Jet I found a Lego store, a little boy's heaven! and I was able to get him a set that we never see here in Kansas! What a successful trip!
