First Day of School 2014

Yeap! The kids started school today....1st, 4th and 7th.....Crazy!!!!
 
A couple quick pics of my crew before we left this morning! It was an adjustment for everyone, we got a little spoiled to sleeping in a little!
 




There they are for their first day, it was only a half day!

 
She was nervous, she is at the new middle school and her bff Abby stayed at the other school. She also seemed excited and she is walking with her friend Shayne to her house after school then I will pick her up there....I think this will be a good year for her, I really see her maturing a lot. I'm proud of her, she is a good girl....dramatic but good!!!! 


This kid! He is so funny, I parked at the school this morning and he wanted to know why I am parking and I tell him so I can walk Katelin in, we get inside the school and I look around and say "Where's Owen?" Katelin says"Up there".... He ran way ahead of us and went to class, I guess he is getting to big for mom to walk him in, I didn't see him again until after school! I will miss him during the day, he has been such a big help with the younger kids especially Kinley...they have quite the little bond!
 
And this girl.....she broke my heart! The girl who Loved school so much last year has been so nervous and not wanting to go. She wanted me to stay with her the whole day. We got there and she started to cry and I just had to leave...ugh, it hurt my heart...a lot! Her teacher was comforting her when I left and I knew she would be fine and when I got there to pick her up.............she had a huge smile on her face, her day was a great one and that made my heart very very happy!!!!! Let's hope her first full day goes just as well!

A much needed famly night.....

Chet has been working so hard lately that we really haven't had a lot of time with him so.....
 
we loaded up the kids and headed to dinner and Dave and Busters!
 
Everyone had a blast!!!!
  

Katelin and the O man!
 
Daddy and Kin!
 
We kept her contained in the stroller most of the night......
 
but we ended letting her get in on the fun too and she thought she was hot stuff!
 
 
This is how Luke hung out most the night!


It got late and he slept really well even with all the noise!
 
 
But he seemed to really enjoy being able to see all the lights from the stroller!


 
 
I played connect 4 with Rylie and Owen....Ry beat me but I beat O!!!!
 
Love my little photo bombers!

Daddy won her a stuffed animal but .....
 
 
she wasn't satisfied and insisted he try again....

 
And boy did he....I think he won around 20!
 
The kids were all in awe and even some other kid watched too so we gave him a few to take home! But there was 1 kid that wasn't too impressed.....
 
 
While daddy was showing off for all the kids, I was following this kid around and he was having a blast!!!!!!
 
Luke was hanging with me and Evan too, daddy doesn't impress him to much....yet!
 
I think all Chet's years of running a claw truck has helped him with the claw machines but this one with the giant toys he didn't have any luck.....I think Kinley would have been happy to climb in!

We weren't sure what this furry thing was from the claw machine but Rylie turned it into a tail!
 
My honey and I!
 
She wanted to push him and she did not want help!

Daddy and Luke on the elevator!
 
Then it was time to take my little legends home....it was a fun night for all of us!!!

Deanna Rose....

 
who is she????? Well she is the first police officer killed in the line of duty in Overland Park. Why do I need to share that on my blog???? Because we went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead which is named in her honor. Was it fun???? The kids had fun and I was in good company but it was crowded, not hot but rather warm and we had a lot of kids with us. So it was okay!
 
Here is my crew...my kids plus Xander and minus Luke (he was in the stroller)!
 
What is Deanna Rose....well.....
 
there are animals....farm animals.....
 
plants and flowers.....
 
 
an old school house and a lake, pony rides and a few other things. We skipped most of the activities just because it was so crowded.


 
 
I mentioned I was with good company....my friend Debbie and her kids met us up there and together we have quite the crew......
 
Her 6 plus my 6 plus Xander, at one point i'm looking around and she says who are you looking for and I responded Kinley.....she looks at me and says...uh, your holding her! Yes it was a little stressful with so many kids in such a crowd!

 
Rylie wanted to tote Luke around, she probably had him strapped to her at least half the time we were there.
 
 
My sweet baby!
 

My ornery crazy little girl!
 
Cowboy Xander!
 
Cowgirl Katelin!
 
Kinley wasn't too sure of the horse but Stormy was helping her out!
 
Hanging out!
 
Owen & Connor
 
Sage, Katelin, Evan & Xander

 
My climber!
 
Wonder what they were thinking!


Kinley the flower!
 
Katelin the caterpillar!

 

 
These boys!!!!
 
 
Overall I think the kids had a good time!
 
A couple pics of my 6....it can be hard to get a good one sometimes!
