Kansas and a hairCUT!

We got to go to Kansas last weekend and it was SO fun to be there.  The boys have such a great time with their cousins and I love being with his family.  These 2 were inseparable.....

This is how Mimi took around Lucy....in her grocery cart :)  Lucy loved it.

And these 2 were also inseparable :)
6 boys....all eating was done outside :)
Mimi's best friend sent this outfit for Lucy.....pretty cute on her :)



Lots of water guns were involved over the weekend!


Lucy getting a ride in the wagon.....she was fine with it but Tyson wasn't having it!

This was the biggest entertainment.....sliding down the slide into the blow up pool AND getting squirted with the water gun.


Even Pawpaw got into it :)



Mamu, Papa and Lucy :)



So this is Mimi!  Crazy?!?!  Lucy looks JUST like her!!!

All 6 boys actually sitting still for a few minutes :)
There were several photo shoots from Aunt Mal over the weekend :)  Lucy just sits there and poses and smiles.  LOVE IT!
And here's Mimi and Pawpaw with all 7!









The older 2 got to stay a few days while we took the younger 2 on home.  They had a blast playing and being with Mimi and Pawpaw.  Caleb got sick a little but he had fun!



So since I was down 2, I had a little more focused time with this one so we did some hard core potty training!!!!  He went naked and it's going ok.  Definitely have had some accidents but overall he is getting it and we are NOT going back to diapers :)  We had fun together....made cookies, did lots of bubbles and played trains a lot.  He talks a LOT when his 2 older brothers aren't around.  

potty training can really wear you out.....i found him like this :)
and I decided it was time for a change.....so I went and had 11" cut off my hair!!!  wow!  I donated it to a place that makes wigs for children with hair loss.  My hair is so thick I figured they could make 3 or 4 wigs out of it :)

Feeding the Ducks, Dentist, Zoo and Kayden Staying with Us

We live right around the corner from the lake marina and all the ducks hang out there.  So we went riding our bikes/riding in the stroller to go feed them.  There were TONS of them!  It was fun and the boys had a great time.





and Lucy too :)
Caleb screamed when it was his turn for the dentist and then by the time Weston was finished he was so very brave.  He sat like this for most of the examination.  Silly boy.  No cavities on either one!!!  yea!!!
Oh that sweet face.....can't handle it....even taking pictures of the video monitor :)
We braved the zoo last week.  It was a lot of fun.  Caleb has been begging to go for awhile now.  Melody and her girls met us there and so did some of my friends from church.  It was actually not hot that day so it was a great day to go!

Yes, that would be my child with his mouth on the turtle.  yuck.
Lucy did pretty good...she got tired but made it through :)


Here's the whole group!



A day at the zoo isn't complete without riding on the train!  That's all Tyson could think about :)

I love this picture....so my Caleb :)







Kayden came home with us and spent a couple of days.  She is SO easy and so fun to be with.  She plays great with the boys and an awesome helper!  She loves being with Lucy!



We got to visit Grandma Martin.  Lucy was so cute with her!


We made homemade ice cream sandwiches....and I do mean homemade!!  We had made homemade ice cream the other night and we used a recipe and made homemade brownies that we used for the cookie part.  They were very yummy!!!
