August leftovers

My little stud muffin!

She's the best at getting Kin to sleep!

That's my girl.....never a dull moment!

Well HELLO Luke!

Sleeping babies are irresistible....just look at those squishy lips and cheeks!

Of course she has to get in the jumparoo

Already trying to be just like daddy!

She loves him!

These two playing together....they get along pretty good most some of the time!

See what I mean.....irresistible!

Waiting for the big kids!

He loves his brother and she loves to express her anger!

Out to dinner....see the walrus?

Our littlest Chiefs fan!

Look at that smile!

Her shirt says it all.....LOVED!

Love this girl....crazy personality and all!

The only time she will pose is when I am trying to take pics of someone else!

This is a very sweet picture!

He always wants a pic with his baby bro!

Dolly?!?!?

Johnson County Fair!

So remember my last post?!?!? An awesome family trip to the zoo! Well that same week we went to the fair but.....it wasn't quite as awesome!

 

It started out okay.....

we had some fair food which I wasn't real impressed with!

 

my wee little man looked as cute as can be......

 

this kid stole the second seat of the stroller which.... 

 

was intended for this little monkey! 

 

while we ate we listened to a great band!



 

Kinley was mesmerized by it! 

 

Then we headed to the area with the rides! Owen is so sweet with his baby sister! 

 

All these little cars had horns and there were multiple rides like this with lots of kids honking the horns and there were people everywhere, trying to maneuver a double stroller was nearly impossible....all these together plus Kinley getting fussy and Luke crying made far a very cranky daddy!

 

Chet also got asked if this little guy was his grandson....that didn't help his mood! 

 So I went on one final ride with these 3 kiddos and we headed home!

 

 

Not every outing can be fun with all our kiddos but usually we have a good time, I think we will wait a few years before attempting the fair again....maybe when we are beyond the stroller phase!!!!



At the zoo with my crew!

A few weeks ago we had to go to Topeka to get a birth certificate. I decided since we would be there we should go to the Topeka Zoo! So we went to get the birth certificate and then to lunch.

 

We found this place called Cheeburger Cheeburger, it was like a 50's diner and the kids meal came in little cars.....it was good and something different!

 

 

A couple group pics to start off.....

 

 

 

And we are ready to enjoy the zoo....and it was the perfect day weather wise. Nice cloud cover and not to hot!!!!

 

 

First we came to the Cougar, they are native to Kansas which shocked the kids. They knew we have cougars in Kansas but I think just seeing one up close and knowing they are in the Kansas woods really impressed them!

 

 

The river otters, I asked the kid how the Barbie jeep got crashed in there.....seriously something my kids would do!

 

 

Little Luke chilling in the stroller!

 

Did you really think she would just be sitting?!?!?! She was very good though! In and out of the stroller to see all the animals!

 

Here we are at the monkey exhibit....the cutest little monkeys EVER!!!!

 

Ducks....there were A LOT of ducks!

 

My favorite....the bear!

 

 

The girls enjoying the pretty fountain.



The hippo was having a blast with his barrel!

 

Me and Lukey!

 

Up close and personal with the lions.....

 

it was a little unsettling seeing my baby girl so close to something that could very easily eat her!

 

The King!

These things were kinda crazy!

 

 

Crazy kids!

 

Daddy....get off that limb!!!!!

Katelin!

 

Rylie!!!!

 

Not quite the arm span of an orangutang!

Hey....Chet's brother Chris is asleep back there!!!!

 

Giving a small donation!

 

 

We had a good time, the Topeka zoo is nice because it only takes a little over an hour to walk through it. It was a really fun day. Kids were good, Chet wasn't grumpy and just those two things alone make for a great day!!!!
