Out of 500 photos I finally narrowed it down to about 7 entries for this blog. I am now done. Be glad I didn't put 500 on here. I think I got 50 though.
Papa with PJ their newest addition.
Toby & Hank.
Andy and Ken.
All the cousins. Collin, Caleb, Leisel, Toby, Josie, Henry
the plane ride back to NC.
Leisel at the beginning of the Birthday Party.
Toby Had a birthday party with family. He wanted a Nemo party. I thought it would be hard to find the themed stuff, but I found it at Party America and I spent way too much on all that party stuff. He LOVED it though. We had Chicken because he loves chicken legs. The first 3 years has been great. Toby is a different kid than Caleb. We love the differences between the two. Caleb is such a great helper and has a lot of inititive (maybe too much at times). Toby loves Trains, and isn't into TV. He has a great smile with dimples. He loves to twirl people's hair and suck his thumb when he is tired. He loves cooked broccoli, cucumbers, candy (not desserts), and is such a cuddler. He isn't dramatic (he can whine), He takes injuries with stride...gets over it quickly.
Opening presents.
Singing Happy Birthday.
Nemo Cake. Mom and I decorated it. It was yummy.
E-pa and Memaw's garden in the back yard. My dad says he just planted stuff. Pretty isn't it?
Another train ride. We love to ride the train. It never gets old. The breeze on a hot day is so nice. On this day the train almost didn't make it up "the hill". It wasn't much of a hill, but it still was having trouble. We didn't have to get out and push, though.
Leisel right out of the bath. She loves baths. What baby doesn't...
The boys found the BIGGEST SLUG at Ken's Granna's home! Yuck!
A. Judy and Leisel.
We visited my Aunt Judy(my dad's older sister) and Uncle Rudy's home in Atchison, KS. They just celebrated 50 years of marriage...Amazing! My Cousin Lynn brought her two kids. It was great to see them, since it's hard to do as we get older and busier.
Reagan and Leisel.
My A. Judy and My Dad "E".
Connor, Regan, Caleb & Toby.
We went to see my great friend, Colleen, whom I have known since we were 5. They just sold and bought a new home. Her 5 year old daughter Ashlynn took this picture. We had 7 kids total that day since Colleen watches two other children. It was a very chaotic day with 7 kids. We had a fun time though.
My A. Kathy and U. Dean came down for a visit, which was nice. (My Mom's younger sister)
We went to vist Beth and Micah's home. We made s'mores. The kids really just liked roasting the marshmellows and eating them. They didn't care for the graham cracker/chocolate/mallow combo. My sister sold her house to the first people who saw it and found one to buy during our 3 week stay. They are moving in July while my parents are leaving for Australia. Too bad we don't live closer so we could help them move! We are excited for them. Beth and Micah are also having another girl in October!
The carousel ride was fun! Thanks E-Pa. Beth brought Addison down to Topeka and we all went to different places around town. It was Rainy for most of the week, but we still had a good time.
Toby is hanging on for dear life! Caleb acts like he is Tarzan (raised in the Jungle).
We rode the train at Gage Park in Topeka. Everytime I visit the train is broken or not open yet for the season. Luckily for everyone it was open while we visited. We love trains.
We visited Memaw at her work.
Addy Sue reading a book on the train at the Museum.
My lil cowboy. Isn't he sweet?
Leisel Loved this swing. It was a life saver.
These are my hydrangeas in front of our house in North Carolina. I just wanted to have a picture of them. I love to see the flowers growing and blooming each spring.
