It looks like rain....but we'll go for a walk anyway!

We went for a walk the other day...then it finally decided to start to rain...so, back inside! It hadn't rained all day, up to that point!

Fort Cernin

So we built a fort the other morning...and the kids loved it.

Some Fun with Grandma and Mandy

Mom and Mandy came down last Wednesday and stayed thru Sunday. Thursday, Tim and I went to Kansas City for the Service Awards Banquet. We left town at 12:00 and didn't get home until 1:15am. It was a long drive. We drove a 15 passenger van to Jeff City, then shared a Charter bus with them and Columbia. It was a great dinner and was nice to have an 'adult' night out! Tim had 4 employees (that went to KC) recieve awards that night. While we were away, Mom and Mandy just played and wore the kids out. On Friday, we went to the park in Camdenton. After the park, Mandy and I (more Mandy than I) did a little 'retail therapy' at Polo and Target, while Colin napped and Taylor entertained G-ma! Saturday, we went to the High Schools running track and let the kids run. Tim took the kids one Sunday afternoon and they loved it. Taylor and G-ma ran/walked the whole track, while Colin played with bottle caps, water, and sand. Taylor loved running and then jumping into the sand, as did G-ma. Mom, I know you told me not to post any of the pictures of you jumping, but you may have a future in the Long Jump! She got some air in some of the jumps! After running, we met up with Tim at the store and ate lunch. I had to work that night, so G-ma and Mandy took the kids to Miner Mike's for some games. Sunday we went to church, lunch at Pizza Hut, then more games at Miner Mike's. Mom and Mandy left shortly after that. It was a fun weekend, and the kids were exhausted. Taylor fell asleep before 8:15 that night...which is early for her...she was beat! Thanks again for coming down for the weekend! We had fun!

Meet my little monkey. She likes to climb up onto the table and wait for me when we are leaving the house. She is so my daughter! Colin on the other hand climbs up in the rocking chair and just sits...and looks darling!

Kids will be Kids

Colin has learned to climb up a chair and onto the table. I took this picture AFTER I got him down. I so wanted to take a picture of him up there, but didn't want to leave him up there while I ran to the bedroom to get my camera. The chair doesn't have to be out too far for him to climb up either!!! What a hoot!

No Mommy, I didn't climb up onto the table?

Sending big HUGS to everyone!!!! Muuuuaaah!

Little miss energy at night, was trying on Tim's shoes. It was so cute though. She would run to the hallway, pick a pair of shoes, then hide behind the couch and tell us to close our eyes. Colin would then go get his shoes, thinking we were leaving!

My Little baby girl...isn't little anymore! :(

Colin has taken a liking to powdered donettes...

Hy-Vee Picnic

On Sunday, Hy-Vee had a picnic/cookout at Pirate's Cove Miniature Golf. It was from 10-7. I had to work 11-6, so it was up to Tim to keep the kids happy for the whole day! Tim had a great turn out for it and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time. Taylor played 5 rounds of golf, had 5 hole-in-ones, and had 5 hot dogs! Tim said both our kids were very good. Poor Colin couldn't hang in there long enough and decided to take a siesta in his stroller. Taylor was actually very talkative, I hear, and walked around with just about anyone who was playing golf. She especially liked playing with the kitchen managers boys, and Katie and Caylen Krecklow. When I showed up, there were still quite a few people there. Both kids were covered in dirt, mud, scraps on knees, etc. Colin kept walking up the putting hill and sitting in water. Needless to say, they both got hosed down when we got home!
