Wichita

Uncle Klint got called away to go to Air Force school and had to move to Texas right away but he did come home the first weekend and we got to spend some time with him. Grandpa Cold Beer also planned a trip to Wichita to see all of us. So it was a great weekend spending lots of time with Uncle Klint and Grandpa Cold Beer

There is nothing better than waking up to breakfast at Grandma's house. Kellen LOVES his bacon, he even says bacon now. Mom thinks it the funniest thing when he walks around the house saying "baccconnn, Nama (that's how he says Mama), bacccooon...yum yum" That kid might just be the funniest kid around.

Saturday morning we got to go to Kourtnee's soccer game. In case you don't know Kourt is REALLY REALLY great at soccer, her team always wins!! The best thing about going to the kids soccer games is getting to play with Uncle Klint and my cousins. Uncle Klint is the best Uncle ever... maybe that's because he's just like one of us kids :)

We also got to go to one of our favorite places ever... the Wichita Zoo!! It was the perfect day for going to the Zoo. Everyone went with us... Uncle Klint, Grandpa Cold Beer, Grandma and the Davis/Castillo family.

Me and my Hippos. The Wichita Zoo has an OK hippo exhibit, it's pretty good if the hippos are in the water but it seems like every time we are there they are hiding in the VERY back of the pen. One of these days we are gonna be there when they are inside the building and we'll be able to see them up close. I can't wait to go back to the St. Louis Zoo, they've got a great hippo exhibit!

The Gorilla exhibit is pretty great too, they are always really active and love putting on a show for everyone.

Grandma and Uncle Klint swinging Kellen

After a brunch with some of our family we had to get on the road and head back to KC. This is how Kellen always sleeps, once again chewing on his blankets.

After a long weekend in Wichita we were both pretty exhausted. We love Wichita!!

Kellen's accidental hair cut!!!

Mom has been wanting to cut Kellen's hair for a long time now but she didn't want to shave his head and Dad has been begging Mom to shave his head for weeks now. Well Mom decided she was gonna trim up the sides and the trimmer she usually uses was dead and she couldn't find the charger so she used a different set of trimmers. Well those are the ones Dad uses to shave his head, just one swipe up the back of Kellen's head and she realized that it was WAY to short and she had no other choice but to shave his whole head. I don't think Mom was ready for Kellen's scar and screws to be so exposed again, his hair was covering it up so well. So here are the new pics of Kellen's hair and the scar.

This is what happens when Daddy leaves his "toys" out... Kellen and I love to play with Daddy's controllers. We act like we are playing football against each other. I always win:)

Kellen and I both love helping Mom do laundry. We all know that I do laundry much better than Kellen!! It is one of my chores that I have to do each week, I have to say I'm really good at folding and putting away my laundry.

Spring Fun

We are loving the weather, we have been outside just about every afternoon. Mom has started working a couple days a week so we have been spending some extra time with some of our neighbor friends. We sure miss Mom but we are having fun playing with our friends.

This was last Thursday, before 830am Mom had made 2 batches of cookies, started and finished a load of laundry, and had us showered and out the door headed to the store. Now that's one productive morning :)

Mom was trying to get it all done and the best way to entertain Kellen was to give him the cookie batter bowl and let him clean it out. It sure kept him entertained long enough for Mom to finish her morning duties!

Kellen and I were enjoying dinner on the patio! He's a messy eater!!!

It's softball season again which means we spend a couple nights a week at the softball fields. Mom thought it would be a great idea to bring our bubbles and everyone loved blowing bubbles with us.

Daddy was giving Kellen some softball tips. Kellen LOVES balls.

One of Mom's favorite pictures

Kellen thinks I'm so funny

This is one of our nightly rituals...popsicles on the back deck

Check out this new school picture. This was one day that Mom worked... Mom was at work and realized it was class picture day and asked Dad what I was wearing. This isn't exactly what Mom would have picked for me but hey, I'm 4 and can get away with whatever I want. Needless to say Mom didn't buy any of these pictures. Mom didn't know that we took individual pictures, she thought it was only class pictures. At least in the class picture I'll always be in the back cause I'm a head taller than all my friends.

Mostly Kellen...

Mom has been taking lots of pictures of Kellen lately so I decided to share some of them, we sure do love that kid!!

Kellen thought it was too funny when he knocked the bowl of "whales" over making me pick them all up- I on the other hand didn't find it that funny!!

Grandma sent us an Easter basket and gave Kellen these cool puppy books, he loves them. She also gave me the movie "Alice in Wonderland" I've watched that movie so many times already. Katie comes over just about every day asking if she can watch it with me. I love that it's spring and I get to see my friends all the time, Katie loves to come in through the back door and spend the afternoons with me.

Even Kellen likes "Alice"

Kellen and I both are obsessed with pickles, him and I eat them so much that Mom had to buy the jumbo jar from Sam's :)

He is such a Goober!! He wants to use a fork like I do but he's not so great at it.... he makes such a mess!!! Hopefully he gets better sometime- Mom and I are tired of always cleaning up his messes!!

Kellen reading one of my easy reader books while I was over at Katie's house...

BUSTED!!!!
