Prairie Fire

A new museum opened in Overland Park and Mimi and PopPop are members. Today, everyone celebrated Lolo's 5th birthday - without me...I had to work - insert sad face here. They started at Red Robin. The went to Prairie Fire. Here are a few pics from my mom and Wes. 

Yipes!

Is she supposed to be up there?

New Jammies

Nautical themed super CostCo sale. 

Camping at Clinton Lake

Ollie, Penny and I went out to Lawrence to camp with Mimi and PopPop. Aunt B and fam came too! 

Penny liked Aunt B's tent but we slept in the new camper. It was nice and cozy. 

Watermelon!

I asked her to smile. This was down some crazy steps by the campsite. We stayed in the state park - it was very nice and clean.

Tye-dye crew. 

We checked out the beach which also had about a half mile of crazy steps. 

Ollie and Lo even got a Lego set from Mimi of a CAMPER!  You spoil them, Mimi!

In the morning, we went to the marina and fed the carp. They were as big as Penny and we fed them fruit loops. 

Ahoy there, captains drinking slushy swamp water. 

Finally I released a bullfrog I raised from a tadpole with my class. It was tramatic for Penny - she wanted to keep him. Also for Lolo - he jumped on her seconds after this picture. 

Finally we watched dog coursing. Not pictured.  Running dogs, like whippets, chased a bag that they thought was a rabbit on a wild curvy course. It reminded me that we need a dog. 

All in all, a super fun time. 

Preschool Graduation

Our baby, Ollie, graduated from preschool this week. He is very ready for kindergarten, but he will miss he buddies!  

They had a small program with songs and a play. Very cute. 

Ollie and his teacher, Mrs. Goehri, who was the ideal teacher for him. 

Two not so good pictures. Here is Ollie and Lo at her graduation. 

Sliver Spring Sandals

Can't wait until these four shoes get to be together all day!  Hurry up summer!

Happy Mother's Day

Wes and I agree, nothing makes you appreciate your own mother like have kids. We love you!

These two stinkers love Mimi and JJ, too!

Penny Pizza

Tegan and Sara

Beth and I got hard to get meet and greet tickets. So we grabbed mom and headed off to Columbia. 

This was our hotel room. It even came with a warm cookie!

I got changed and we headed off to the Blue Note. 

As we waited, Beth got really nervous. I had butterflies too! 

First the sound check:

Sara and....

Tegan!

Then the photo shoot:

They signed a Lego creation for Ollie. He loves their Lego song Everything is Awesome. 

We headed back to the hotel and ate with mom and Margie. Crazy tapas fest. 

Next we headed back to the concert. 

It was amazing. They played a lot of old stuff and songs from Heartthrob.

Finally we waited in line and met the opening band Lucius - which the three of us are now obsessed with. They told me I look like one of their friends. It was an amazing trip!

On the drive home we saw a goat tied to a tree at a rest stop. Not an animal trailer in sight. Weird. 

Ultimate Cache

Ollie found his first geocache on his own today by Indian Creek. The clue was the tin man's heart. The terrain was difficult, but he did great!  He was disappointed we had to stop hunting. Can't wait for summer when we don't have to stop! 

He got a little penguin and left a toy knight. 

Steep hill and very rocky!
