Welcome Spring!

Spring has meant OUTSIDE OUTSIDE OUTSIDE PLAY! From morning to late evening we are thankful for this beautiful weather, parks, garden starting, planting flowers, picnics, no bugs, sunny days, playtime, fresh air, ahhhh…. Can it stay forever please? Someone said the other day that if the weather was always like this, we would not appreciate it as much as we do. WRONG! I promise I would appreciate it… promise! Please stay spring- forever! We HEART U!

Many updates to come on our HUGE garden project we are working on for the summer! Our extra bedroom has been transformed into a giant grow house! We are planning a very ambitious garden this year along with preserving much of our bounty for the winter!

April Showers…… A little puddle jumping anyone???

Bring May flowers!




I absolutely loved this series of photos with Q-man and his favorite fire truck! He popped his hat on- always backwards- grabbed the little firefighter he calls “mini-daddy” and made his many truck vroom vroom and emergency sounds. I think boys are born with the ability to imitate motorized vehicle noises perfectly!









I snapped this picture of K and Elmo at the Earth Day activities in the park- I then noticed the “no pictures” unless you purchase the $3 commemorative photo- whoops! I love getting a deal!




Please feed the animals! If you haven't been to Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure in Salina- it is worth a visit! We had a great vacation to Salina visiting Nana and Papa while Daddy was away! Can't wait for their new water park to open this summer! We'll BE BACK!

And Happy Birthday to Daddy today!

And yes, she was singing this while sitting on the potty! Your gift!

Happy THREE to KG!

Three years ago our lives changed forever! We welcomed our little princess into the world. I didn't truly know my capacity for love until the day she arrived. We also have had amazing successes this week since her birthday on Saturday! She came home from school on Tuesday and announced that she was done with diapers, gathered them all up from her room, and gave them to Q-man! We have had success after success since! Happy Birthday to my big girl!!!



Traditional birthday waffles with candles to start the day!

Thinking over her wish...

Of course Abbey dog participated- AKA- suffered through wearing hat in hopes of waffle bites!

The big girl bike!!!!

Uncle Brock and Uncle Josh always know just the right gift for our trendy toddler! She loves the boots!!! LOVES!

Make a wish...

Her requested PINK cake with PINK frosting... and rainbow sprinkles!

Papa D and Q enjoy some light reading!

And to top the birthday weekend off- we celebrated Easter the next day!!

A Little Monkey Bizz

We spent a rainy Friday morning at a fabulous place in KC called Little Monkey Bizzness- the highlight for Q-man had to be LUNCH after at Fritz's train restaurant where trains bring you your meal and zoom around a track built around the ceiling! When we tucked K into bed that night (the night before her 3rd birthday) she says to us "I don't think I want a bike for my birthday, no, I want a train that brings me food!"
