Sam's 7th Bday party -part 1

The pictures are in reverse order, sorry!

Sam choose to have an Army theme party this year.  He invited a few friends over to help celebrate.  Andy dressed the part of drill sergeant and took the boys on a march through the woods, then back to headquarters for an obstacle course, presents, cake, pinata, and freeplay.  Everyone had a great time!

My 29th birthday!

Ok, so really my 34th, 

We had a great time celebrating my birthday with presents, cake, and ice cream!

Trey fell and smacked his face on the sidewalk during trick or treating!  Poor kid!

Pumpkin Carving Time

Halloween snuck up on me this year.  October went by way too fast.  We carved pumpkins Saturday afternoon, thankful for a beautiful day.  We always let the boys draw their design, then Andy carves it.  They had a great time!

I'm Back to blogging!!!!!! (I think)

First Trip to the Farm this Season

We have an amazing "petting farm" here in Overland Park that the kids just LOVE.  When we moved here 5 years ago, it was never busy and was fun, but hadn't lived up to it's full potential.  It is run on donations and contributions only.  In the last  few years, so many wonderful items have been added to the farm.  There is a new Dairy Barn, apple orchard, tractor riding, new playground, the list goes on and on.  Here are the pictures from our amazing trip yesterday.  The weather was perfect and so was the kids' behavior!!!  Both boys caught a fish. Trey grabbed right on to his to release it.  Sam was not touching his, so Trey did it for him. Adler had fun running around like a crazy man and petting the baby pigs.  My favorite was the baby lamb, only days old.  So sweet.  We'll be back to the farm many times through the fall.
