Family fun in the water
Yesterday we took a few hours as a family and went to a nearby pool/water park. Lots of fun!
Joshua definitely enjoyed the lazy river more than Kayla!
"What's up with all this water?????" In all fairness to Tyler, we completely barged in on his nap time, so he was ready for the party to end sooner than the others!
And then . . . on the way home, there was a random turtle that was directionally challenged in crossing the road. So (only in KS) one of the other drivers had some garden shears that he used to prod the turtle across the road. It made quite an impact on the kids as Kayla SPECIFICALLY prayed for the turtle at night when we tucked her in!

Summer fun
Well, folks . . . I thought I should document this . . . Joshua's first piano lesson! So far, so good!
So last week I walked into the kitchen to find this . . . One of the older two kids had left a almost empty, completely crushed sleeve of saltine crackers within Tyler's reach. It must have seemed like a perfect opportunity for him to help himself!
And Kayla's newest favorite thing . . . hitting the ball WITHOUT the tee . . . she is much too old for that now, I guess!
Trip to Worlds of Fun!
This past week, we took advantage of WOF's Twilight deal and had a GREAT time as a family! It was one of the days you just want to "bottle up" and remember forever! We got there at 4 pm and walked out at 9 pm -- and ALL THREE KIDS did great! No melt-downs, fits, or tantrums. Amazing. And, there were no lines -- literally.
Bryan took the older two on this . . . not very up close, I know!
Joshua was 48" exactly . . . and I do mean exactly . . . so he was "eligible" to ride some of the "big people" rides. Since Kayla could ride with an adult, Joshua ended up riding most by himself -- he was such a trooper!
On the carousel
Hanging out at Camp Snoopy (the kid's area)
Two years ago, we spent FOREVER here! Still enjoyed it this time.
Probably the most enjoyable part for Tyler of the whole day! Once you scooped enough balls into the hoses . . .
. . . this would happen! The cart tips and it "rains" balls!
This catepillar kid's roller coaster was probably the favorite of the day. I bet J & K rode it 15 times AT LEAST. Since there were no lines, the ride personnel would just ask if they wanted to ride it again instead of unbuckling/rebuckling, etc. It was great!
Happy as a clam!
Kayla LOVED seeing Snoopy . . . Joshua . . . um . .. not so much!Tuesday, June 08, 2010

Memorial Day and beyond
We spent part of Memorial Day at the zoo . . . always a treat when Bryan is with us as usually it is just the kiddos and me.
Afterwards ,we grabbed a bite and there was this man doing balloon animals . . . definitely a treat!
This picture was not staged . . .a very typical sight in the afternoon! Lots of play time with the neighbors!
Tyler's new favorite perch!
Last week, my friend Hyla from college made a trip to KS . . . so much fun to reconnect. We hadn't seen each other since we moved here. 
We realized after she left that we didn't' get any pics with just her and me . .. grrrr.
Right before Joshua's first piano lesson . . . yep, we're going to give it a try. I now understand why it was always hard for my mom to be consistent teaching me lessons!
