Birthday Season

Kimberly and Nathan's birthday's are in the same month and they are only 11 months apart. That makes for a careful planning for parties!! Now they are too old to combine parties and prefer to do stuff with friends. So, that means that in August this year we had a party every 2 weeks leading into Kali's party the first weekend of September. Speaking of Kali, she has been very very helpful in making the cakes this year!!

Let me taste the frosting to make sure it's safe!! :-)
"Go ahead and put it on the cake... I approve!"

Nathan's cake. It was stuffed with homemade cake batter ice cream. We were rushed in putting it together due to a couple of setbacks. It wasn't a pretty cake but it sure was tasty!!

Happy 12th Birthday Nathan!!

Again Kali was very helpful in making Kimberly's cake... testing the frosting is her favorite!!

Yummy!

Ta Dahhhh! Patrick Starfish! Not to shabby if I do say so myself!!

Check out the hat! She LOVED the cake!!

Happy 13th Birthday Kimberly!

Sleep over with cousin Kaelyn!

Kaelyn has started sleeping over at our house every once in a while and it's a lot of fun... they get so hyper and fired up and then... all of a sudden... they crash!

Ever since Kaelyn noticed we have a big tub she's been begging to take a swimming bath! Well, she got her wish! Here is Kaelyn and Kali splashing around in the whirlpool tub.

They LOVED IT!!
Time to brush your teeth...

Cheesing it up after brushing teeth!

AAANNNNDDDD this is what they did in the morning!! :-)

Deanna Rose Farmstead

Deanna Rose Farmstead has become a great and free day trip with the weather is nice!! Here are some great pictures of one of our many trips to the farm!

Mike's cousin Sarah and her boys Bryce (the little guy), and Beau came up from Nailer, Mo and were excited to see what the farm was all about!

Kali is obsessed with the goats!!

Awww Mommy... a Baby Cow!!

Kimberly is trying to compose herself... the cow was trying to eat her shirt!

The goats fight to get the bottles!
