A Fun Day at The Pumpkin Patch!

We had a fun time at the pumpkin patch last week with our MOPS group! The boys ran like crazy, and really enjoyed playing with the other kiddos. They got to pick a pumpkin, feed the goats, go through a maze, climb, and take a hay rack ride. All in a days work, right?! It made for some GREAT naps!! Enjoy pics from the day!!

Touch a Truck Event..

Last weekend we surprised Drew by going to an event in the area called Touch-a-Truck. Anyone who knows Drew could probably guess what his reaction was when we arrived. This was a really cool event in Dallas, where a variety of trucks were parked, so kiddos could climb in them, honk the horns, and run around. Drew had a ball, and so did Evan! Although to our surprise it took Drew a little bit to even get in a truck, but once Evan did it, he HAD to do it to!! Here are some fun pictures from the day!

Some Iowa FUN!!

We all had a relaxing and fun time in Iowa with my family, even though there was practically NO Cell service, which meant no connection to the outside world... AHHHHH!! Somehow we still managed to survive! We did lots of fun things, here is one night of fun... my Mom & Bob had sprinklers they had saved and we lit them ALL!! The boys LOVED them!!

Grandpa Hot Rod's first attempt with matches -NO GO!!

Now, for Grandpa Hot Rod's way "A TORCH..."

Not sure how this happened, I think it was just the lighting because those sparklers did NOT go this high. Just cool!!

HIGH Flyin' Daddy Time!!

Guess who! We are finally getting settled in our new house and feeling pretty good. We plan to be settled in this house for the next few years, so God willing we will not be moving anytime soon, WHEW!!

Now to catch you all up! In April Drew had a Daddy day, so off to the airshow they went. David was excited to share his love of planes with Drew up close and personal. This was Drew's very first airshow, and let me tell you he was absolutely exhausted. Enjoy a couple of fun pics from the day. Daddy didn't take a lot, but hey ateast he took some!!

MORE FUN WITH FAMILY...

We were just so blessed to have David's family in town last week. Erin & the kiddos stayed with us for a few days then his parents rotated in at the end of the week. One of our first adventures was a trip to the St. Louis Zoo, which never gets old.

Finally after a few visits since we lived here, the HIPPOS were out. Let me tell you I was so excited! They are by far my favorite animal!! I had to be peeled away from their tank.

Enjoy some pics from the day!!

MY NEW TOY!

I have been shopping around for awhile for some outdoor toys. Craig's List comes to the rescue again, man I love that site. I ended up finding this cute Carrot Slide and a big sandbox for around $27, which is a great deal.

Then I got a call from my friend Courtney and she had a friend who had a play set for FREE. I jumped on that one. I will put pics of it up soon, it has a wavy slide and holes to climb in and out. I think it is technically called a Climbing Slide, or something like that. Drew loves it, but hasn't gotten to play with it much due to the rain....bummer! Enjoy the pics!
