Aug 15 stuff :)

We had a busy GREAT August in our house.  A small break from Summer birthday's before Rylands and time to fit everything in before summer is over.  

I got away for a short girls weekend with Kelsey and some friends.  We had a GREAT time.  I did realize I don't get away enough though.  At the restaurant BOTH of my cards got shut off for suspicious activity.  What was the activity I asked the companies - "You left the Wichita area"  SAD :(

A trip to the YMCA outside pool always proves to be a bunch of fun.

 We took the kids to Sedwick county park for a nice Bike ride

Ryland of course fell at our break at the boundless playground and got a bloody nose

This is one of my favorite pictures ever.  He looks like he is 5 already - his face is just so darn precious

Having fun in mommy's new swing in her classroom

Man he loves cake, cookie and brownie batter (just like Daddy)

One more trip to Botanica (we took Rylands 2 year pictures here this year)

Just having fun

Landrie wanted curly hair so I did braids before she went to bed

It was curly for sure :)

Open house at Garden Plain with his new teacher Mrs. Jennings

I went to one of my students parents weddings this summer to help out.  Doesn't he look HANDSOME!!!

Mommy fit in one more quick trip to KC to play with Kelsey Maelin and Kace!

It is always a good idea to give a kid a choc snack on a hot summer day in the car :)

Maelin

Kace

 Garden Plain had a movie at the park so we went up with Todd and Rhonda and their crew - it was fun.

Me and all the ladies who work in my room with me on the first day of school

Botanica with Mima Mac

Mima Mac took us to Botanial Gardens one day this summer - it was a very nice time.

Checking out the trains

Look MOM TRAIN!!!

Ryland wanted NOTHING to do with a picture - there were trains to watch

We got one later when no trains were around

Of course he loved the water

Mima climbed into the tree house with them.

Eating cake batter

We went to the fair - watched the parade ate fair food and rode the rides

Daddy was brave and rode this one with Ryland

Ferris Wheel ride with mommy

Pink motorcycle for sure

Jaren set up a game of fowling in the basement

Lets just say Ryland likes the Cinnamon butter at Texas Roadhouse

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture - he looks 4 years old

How precious is this

Another hair gel attempt

Just didn't want to stay up

Jaren with his new goal!

playmates took a timeout for a picture




First basket made on the new goal

Daddy took a week off with us this summer and we had a wonderful time.  We loaded up our bikes and went to Sedg. Co. Park one day for a bike ride with a pit stop at the boundless play ground.  

Another day we went to the zoo - both days we got AMAZING weather.

Ryland Reece pretends to sleep and then be 'AWAKE'

His laugh makes me smile with my whole body

I just love Toddlers voices
