Kids ~ Video

Let me tell you that we (I) had big plans for this video but those of you with children will understand that things don't always happen the way you hope :) So we would like to share our news even though our children are not fully clothed and there are no piggy tails ;)

The boys new toy.....But the girls LOVE it

New Kitty Pics

Just look at these pretty babies!!! We are having so much fun with them! They will be 6 weeks on August 25th so we will have to start working on finding homes for them :(

New kitty's

11 days ago we had three new baby kittens born! We have Sunshine, Star and Todd. They have grown a lot and just opened their eyes this weekend. I will get some better pics posted very soon!

Iowa ~ Flower Girls

We had a great time on our trip to Iowa! The girls did a great job at being Flower Girls!!! The kids danced the night away and the wedding was perfect!

Pillsbury Crossing

We spent a little time today at this great little hidden place .... It's a great place to take your kids or dogs and let them play... There were several other people there and more dogs than kids but it was lots of fun and kept us cool!!

Ella is 3 today!!

Today Ella turned 3! We had such a big day with her. Grandma & Grandpa Reynolds came up and we took her all over town ;) We went to this amazing little place (for Manhattan KS) called Pillsbury Crossing (pics to come). We took Ella to her first movie...we left early but it was fun while it lasted! We then spent the rest of the day at home playing outside and doing the whole cake and ice cream thing!

Cabo San Lucas ~ 10yr Wedding Anniversary

I can't believe it has been ten years!!! Justin and I celebrated our anniversary by going to Cabo San Lucas. It was a fantastic trip!! We had 4 couples total and there was never a dull moment! I think Grandma's and Grandpa's had their hands full while we were gone ;)

Gracie's Graduation

It's official ...Kindergarten is over! How in the WORLD did that happen so fast? Gracie has grown so much this year! She loves school so much ~ I just hope she loves 1st grade too!!

Field Trip

Here are some pics from Gracie's last kindergarten field trip :( We went to a farm, insect zoo, local zoo and park all in one day!! We had a great time !!! I really can't believe how fast this year has gone & how much she has learned!!! I'm lucky that she loves school as much as she does. I hope she loves 1st grade just as much!

ME

Incase you are reading this blog..... you should know that I am sleep deprived ;)

Gracie's 6th Bday!!!

Gracie is showing off one of her new pairs of earrings ( clip on )

Gracie had a sleepover with some girlfiends and her cousins came from Warrensburg ~ We had pizza, cake , movies & popcorn. Ella and I slept on the couch downstairs just so we could be there incase and of the laides had a hard time. Everyone slept all night and we made it thru with little fighting ;) Gracie had a great bday !!!! It's hard to believe that she is 6!!

Sisters

One last pic from the Tulip Festival!!!

Tulip Festival

Every year in April we head to the Tulip Festival for some great times! Ella was able to ride the horses, jump in the bouncy houses and do all of the fun things that Gracie loves! I love taking pics of the girls and I usually try to come out of this each year with a few great pics ~ I think we managed but I have to tell you that the tatoos on Graice's cheeks were not placed there by me ;) Justin was trying to help me catch a few extra winks this morning...You can imagine my surprise when I woke to find one of my "models" with face art :)

This one was at the end....You like the grump look?!?! She's like really mom - I have to stand by these tulips again?!?!?

Ella Pics ~ Gracie is hiding from the camera ..again!

Ella found a pacifier that they keep around for their babydolls ~ She was pretending to be a baby while we took care of her. Gracie and I took turns.

All I can say is GO MIZZOU!!!!! Jusin and I found Ella in the kitchen like this - She was giggling and just walking around with this trash can on her head ~ It's a good thing we never use it for trash ;)

Ella and Wiskey ....... That cat lets her do whatever she wants!!!

Snow Fun This Weekend

Let's just say that we did not fix our hair for the outdoor fun :) We rolled out of bed and had snow gear on before anyone else in the neighborhood was awake! Those are pj's under the snowsuit ;)
