Welcome to our life
OUR GROWING FAMILY
Last weekend the fam packed up the car and headed to Kansas City. We went with some great pals and just made a fun weekend of it. First stop:
Deanna Rose Farm in Overland Park
This is such a cool place. Super budget friendly and cool things for the kids to do. There were cows you could watch be milked, baby goats to feed, pony rides, fishing, ice cream, cool playgrounds and plenty of other things we didnt even make it to see. It was super hot and Im pretty sure we were the only ones there. The kids loved it and everyone was asleep by the time we left the parking lot:)
Saturday morning my friend and I ran in the color run. Such a fun and dirty 5k around arrowhead stadium. The boys took the kids and walked around while we ran. There were 15,000 runners. Crazy! Here is a before and after pic!
Saturday afternoon we went to the new Sea Life Exhibit in crown center. It was kind of pricey and I wasnt super impressed. There were mostly fish and different kinds of aquariums. Kinseys favorite part was being able to hold a star fish.
Saturday evening we went and had dinner with my Aunt and Uncle. They hadnt met Logan yet and hadnt seen Kinsey for quite a long time. Kinsey took a special liking to uncle Brad and was glued to his lap. Family, burgers and margaritas. Great night!
Sunday we walked around The legends and had lunch at the T-Rex cafe. The kids were totally freaked out by the big dinosaurs but warmed up to them soon. As long as daddy was holding Kinsey she was brave enough to go near them:)
Then we headed to Lawrence on the way home. Nothing makes my heart happier than Jayhawk town. Plus we had to stock up on all of our KU gear
It was so nice to get away from everyday life and spend some good time with the kiddies. They will only be this young for a short time and sometimes its nice to just do life together. Even though hotel sleeping totally sucks, we will do this again soon!
Yikes! Little man turned 4 months last week!!! This is craziness!
Here are some stats:
17lbs
size 2 diapers (barely fitting in them)
6 month clothes
is content 99% of the time (if hes fussy its definitely for a reason)
almost rolling over (I think his thunder thighs hold him back!)
sleeps soundly from 9pm to between 7 and 8am. Wakes every once in awhile for a binky
loves his binky but thinks his thumb is a suitable replacement (NOOOOO!!!)
babbles endlessly
got bananas as his first food and made an absolute mess (to be expected)
has daily blowouts!
catnaps in the morning when we are out and about and takes a long nap in the afternoon
loves to be swaddled still
sleeps in the top of his swing still in his crib
eats every 3-4 hours (still breastmilk only)
total mommys boy still
loves bath time
Seriously Logan you are the easiest baby EVER!!! You fit perfectly into our family and cant imagine a time you werent part of it......only problem is.......you are growing WAY TOO fast....please slow down! Love you bunches!
Holy Smokes
Beautiful weather + Happy kiddos = good family photo shoot
Pretty sure that will never happen again in our lifetime :)
I seriously could just eat these two babies up. LOVE LOVE LOVE them.
Props to the fab Emily McClure, we are gonna miss you like crazy!
Check these out!
Last weekend I took Kinsey to the teddy bear picnic at botanica. I saw an advertisement for it the week before and Josh was working that morning so I figured it would be a fun little mommy daughter date. Logan came along but slept in the stroller the whole time. Teddy bears are not really up his alley :)
So they have these little teddy bear vinettes set up across the childrens garden. There were groups of teddy bears that were dressed up like different movies and stories. We saw Aladin, Snow White, Where the Wild Things Are, ect.....
Kinsey would stop and look at them but had no clue which story was which. Maybe next year.
Overall it was a success and I think we will be back next year.
It seemed to be more of a girl thing and all of the little girls brought their teddy bears from home with them.....super cute. Kinsey chose to bring Mickey Mouse but adorable anyways.
Thanks so much to grandma for braving all of the crazy kids and having a great morning with us!
I know I say this all the time.....but time is FLYING. No joke. Not sure if it is because I am chasing 2 around now or the fact that our schedule is jam packed with stuff, but I feel like Logan was born yesterday. Surely he cant be 3 months old. This sure does make me a little nervous about the rest of my life if these three months have felt like I blinked and ended up here today. I am not sure if now that I have 2 kids that I realize just how fast time really goes or that I love having a baby, but I want to freeze time. If Logan stayed this age forever I would seriously be one happy momma. He is a pure joy. Here are some current stats:
6 month clothes
size 2 diapers
sleeps from 9pm to 8am waking to eat once for approx 20 mins (LUCKY ME!!)
smiles and coos WAY more than I have ever seen any baby do
is a definite mommas boy (his face lights up when he sees me or hears my voice)
eats every 3 to 4 hours during the day
breastmilk only
when he does occassionally get fussy only wants to cuddle
LOVES to be held
loves the bath
extremely content laying on the floor looking at the ceiling fan
likes bumbo time in moderation
overall SUPER easy baby
I cant imagine life before this little guy. Logan you make me so stinkin happy to be your mom and I look forward to watching you grow........just slow down just a little :)
Never in my life have I actually watched the Kentucky Derby. Kinda strange all of the hoopla for only 1 and a half minutes of action.
Well this weekend we went with some friends to a fund raiser which included a Kentucky Derby watch party.
Got all dressed up, wore a fancy hat and sipped on a mint julep. Everyone else thought they were gross but I super duper love mint so I actually liked them.
Great night away from life and spending some time without puke on my clothes. Win Win
Happy May Day....(well it was Tuesday but whos counting).
This was the first year we have ever celebrated. I made baskets while at work and then Kinsey helped cut flowers and stuff them. She was a great big help!
Then we got out the stroller, loaded Logan up and went to "ding dong knock" the neighbors house. Kinsey loved this way more than I had thought she would. She would run up to the door, ring the door bell and run off. I had to put the baskets on the door because she had no interest in that. Pretty sure the neighbors would think we were a bunch of creeps if we just rang the bell and ran off. We got caught twice, but all in all had a blast. This is definitely a tradition we will be repeating!
Plus there is something about the pretty flowers and giving them our friends that makes me super excited this time of year. Trying to soak up every minute of this time in our lives to not mention this awesome weather we have been having!
So HAPPY MAY DAY to you!
