Lots of pictures

When we got home from our visit to KC, MO my flowers were beautiful!

Aren't these foxglove impressive?

I'm a little late with my update. I have so many pictures-May is a busy month for most everyone and so goes it for us as well.

We love to catch our boys sleeping. It's so precious.Ken's friend ,Sebastian, and his wife had a baby girl in April.

This is Kim and her mom in the hospital.
Ken, Caleb, and I went to Lazy 5 Ranch for Caleb's preschool...father son moment.

Smile for the camera!

My college friend Tara got married this month and I was able to attend her "bachelorette" party. We had dinner with her friends and then we went to Chuckee cheese and the boys went to a pool hall. It was nice to see Tara...I'm so happy for her and her husband.

The cousins goofing off....bribing them with gum to smile.Ken's parents and the grandchildren.

Our visit with Ken's granna. I think she is 87 years old

Me, Addison, and Toby.

We went to the park in T-town with my sister, Addy, E-pa, Ken, Caleb, Toby, and me. We had fun...but we missed memaw who had to work.Toby and E-Pa in T-town (Topeka)Back in T-town (Troutman) trying to make those goals.

We had a nice time in Trimble, Independence, and Topeka...I had such a great visit. It was so nice to catch up with old friends, See Ken's family, my parents, and my sister and her family. Addison is talking like crazy. I also saw my highschool friend, Colleen, and her two girls. I wish I would have had a camera, because her girls are so cute. We went to Minskys and her oldest daughter shoved a toy motorcyle down the pool table...oops...had a lot of fun, though!!! I am going to be back in KC in October where I will be "not really celebrating" 1o years out of college.

7 years Today!

Ken and I are celebrating 7 years of marriage today. I remember in Kansas there were a lot of pretty blooming trees at this time. NC is done with the spring blooms. There are some dogwoods left blooming, but we have our leaves mostly.

Last night, Ken and I had dinner and saw a movie. We saw "leatherheads" which parts of it were filmed in Statesville (5 min from us) and Salisbury (1 hour form us). It was a funny movie. Ken and I really enjoyed it. Dad, you would REALLY like it. It's how "Professional" football began...but it has a really witty script and a good story weaved into it.

There aren't a lot of pics this month. I've been taking a weekend real estate course, while Ken has been watching the kids on the weekends. Yesterday I passed the test for the class and now I have to take the state exam! I didn't think I would pass, and if I didn't I would take it as a sign that I didn't need to pursue it, but I passed -which is good, but not sure about the direction it's taking me. So we shall see when I take the state exam... Caleb is a good soccer player. On his 2nd game he scored 9 goals! Last year the story was way different-he didn't know a thing, but now he loves it and can't wait to go to practice.
Chugga chugga chooo chooooo!!!!!

One of the weekends I was away at class

Ken, Toby, Caleb, Beth, and Joe went to chuckee cheese.

Our weeping cherry tree blooming a beautiful pink this spring.

My tulips starting to come up in Early April.

Most of our spring stuff is done blooming here in North Carolina. Onto the summer blooming stuff. We are getting a bit of rain...which we really need.

Ressurection Sunday!!!!

What we left the Easter Bunny...yum a carrot and a strawberry.Nana bought Caleb movies for Easter.

Sunday Morning (Ressurection Sunday)


Caleb and his neighbor Friend dying Easter Eggs.

We went to the Easter Egg Hunt at Caleb's Pre-school. After the egg hunt they all went in to hear the story of Jesus's death and ressurection.

Toby loves his sand box....
I'm so lucky my boys love me too!

They Love each other most of the time

Toby fell in the crock. We thought it was funny. He did it again on purpose to see if he could get another laugh out of us.

Where the heck is Belize?

It's in Central America near Guatamala and Honduras. (He would be writing this, but he is a little behind from being gone) Ken and 9 or so other guys from our church went to dig holes for a christian school being built. The pastor at the church had an awesome name: CALEB.

Ken's hotel (the green building)

Mayan Ruins

The four square gospel church in Belize that was built by "missionaries"
Don't pigs and sewage go together well?

Maybe Ken can backlog this and add more interesting comments...On another note Ken's sister and her husband (Beth & Joe) moved out here to NC. It wasn't an easy task moving them out, but they are moved into their new apartment, they both have jobs, and seem hopeful about the their new adventures in North Carolina.

March is coming in like a lion...

...But we expect it to go out like a lamb.

It has been very windy here...basically a storm came through with 60 mile winds. Our yard has no trees (I love trees...I wish we had some. They provide shade and protection from the wind...however they can fall on your house.) All of the product Ken sells got blown away. The shed, deck box, playhouse. Hmmmm maybe a sign?

Smiley boy!

Caleb took this picture...I thought it looked pretty artistic.

Toby and Skip.
