Kansas City Part 1

We ventured up to Kansas City again to stay with Derek's family but we broke up the drive there to stop in Tulsa overnight and let the kids spend a half day at The Gathering Place with Mimi and Grandpa. If you're ever near Tulsa check this place out. It's a huuuuuuge playground that is filled with so much for the kids to see and do!

Taste Buds Kitchen

At my daughter's school auction last spring I bid on some passes to a kids cooking class. We finally were able to go and took Gramma with us to make cupcakes! It was really cute and the kiddos were really into it!

Fort Worth Children's Museum

Gramma and Poppa took the bigs and I to the museum the last week of summer and we had a blast!

Poppa even laid on a bed of nails!

Bailey Turns 12

Happy Birthday you old girl! I know you're getting old and having 3 kiddos around every day has worn on you but just like I tell you every day, I need more years. You are the BEST family dog ever and I need you in our lives for a few more years. I love you so very much Bailey girl. Happy Birthday!

Candytopia

We like to give experiences more than just gifts for birthdays and Christmas and this year I had seen friends doing Candytopia and KNEW that Ady would just love it. It's basically a candy exhibit with interactive things to touch and see and play with and you get pieces of candy in every room! She invited her sweet friend Lottie to join us and they had to, of course, wear their matching dresses! Overall it was a lot of fun for the girls and I'm glad we went!

My Four

I LOVE that Derek snapped these iphone pics the other night. I laid down for a bit and Drew came over to snuggle which was quickly followed by Ady and Will climbing up on me as well. Then Bailey came over to check on us and Will got so excited. I love my four kiddos!!

Ady's Birthday Pictures

Taken a few days before she turned 5. I love my ball of sweet and sass and spunk and snuggles all wrapped up in one. :)
