Our Family

Lately

So again blogger and I disagree on picture order so here's a random photo dump of the past few weeks. Lucas is loving school. Today he got in the car and told me he hit his best friend with a shovel.....but said sorry right away. Boys....seriously!

Henry is growing and running! He's all about tractors and farm equipment.

Vest wearing, apple eating stubborn boy.

They've enjoyed all the dirt work by our house.

I made my first batch of tomato soup...fresh from the garden. Henry kept signing more after his bowl was empty.

After returning from Dallas the stomach bug hit our house.....and then proceeded to hit all of the families homes. Luckily it wasn't too rough!

Go Kstate!

The boys and I took a trip to Dallas a few weeks ago.

Trail walking

I try hard to not be jealous of all the COOL places for kids in the city. Urban Air trampoline park was open for 5 yrs and under the morning we went. They had Disney songs blaring and all the moms and kids got to jump. I was sweating along with all the kids. Such a fun time!

Nap time on the airplane. Luckily the guy next to me had kids and understood.

While in Dallas my mom wanted some pictures of the boys. They turned out pretty good. Henry wasn't in the best mood but overall not bad.

Our trip to Dallas was short and sweet. We had a great time seeing friends, spending time with family and taking in the city.

Last slip and slide action for the summer

bugs are awesome

First Day of Preschool and everyday life

Lucas was a little nervous and didn't want to get dressed the morning of his first day. After some convincing and 2 planes in his backpack later...he was out the door.

He was so excited and waved mom and dad goodbye!

After a long 3 hours...for mama... I picked him up. First thing he told me: "A boy threw rocks on the playground but the teacher told him No No" I think he's been around mama and grandma too long.

Short story: During baseball season we feel like the playground police. Donna, Gina and I are constantly telling unsupervised children not to throw the rubber, climb on the wrong parts of the playhouse or be too rough around little ones. Just gets frustrating!

The second thing he asked was "When can I go back!" Warmed my heart he had so much fun.

Lucas and Halle are in the same class!

Random pictures of the boys!

A boy hanging out in his boxes with his favorite planes.....in his Dusty tent.

Loves riding his bike!

Playing in the rain....and mud!

First day of school was very boring for this kid. I probably pulled him around for 30 mins.

On Friday Lucas and Sam had a lunch date. He got to "work" then go to Buzz cafe for a burger and cookie. He was thrilled. What a special memory for those two.

short stay-cation

Since school is around the corner and both Sam and I are going on trips in September, we thought a quick family vacation was best. And by quick I mean one night...a little over 24 hours. But we had the best time and got so much done!

{disclaimer: All pictures were taken with my iphone... didn't feel like hauling the big one. Got some great shots but most are blurry. Hard for little iphone to adjust to fast boys!}

This was our first Great Wolf Lodge experience and I was very impressed. The slides and pool depth was PERFECT for the boys.

VERY blurry but had to show off their favorite part of the hotel. RUNNING down the long hallways. Henry would giggle so hard he'd fall over.

We arrived and headed straight for the pool.

Gotta take a sucker break.

We ended up swimming for 4 hours straight minus the 20 mins we took to eat a snack. The boys had a blast!

We got cleaned up and headed to a T-Bones baseball game. The promotion was Kids Eat Free! Ummm.. baseball, beer and free food for kids. Yes please!

First cotton candy experience at 3 yrs old!

Not sure how other families do things but most time Sam and I divide and conquer. I hung out with Lucas by the swings, slides and blow-up jump things while Sam pushed Henry around in the stroller. It was a beautiful night and the kids had a blast!
