Fall Photo Shoot

We had a photographer take the kids' pictures for fall and maybe Christmas cards. Here a few good ones.

Ollie chose the theme of cavemen and dinosaurs for his birthday party. This is the first year we decided to have a friend party. Ollie loves mini-golf, so we went to Mission Bowl for a round of miniature golf. Wes and I made his volcano cake.

Ollie had several friends and family come. Hannah Kerr is pictured below (and a tiny bit of Lolo).

Here are Jack and his dad. Jack is Ollie's best buddy at Bethany Lutheran Preschool. They are only 2 days apart!

Here is Hazel Neff (August's sister) - man, she is cute!

We had a piñata for the cavemen (and cavewomen) to beat. That dino was surprisingly tough.

Get after that dinosaur Auggie!

We had a tar pit full of squishy bath. The kids had to hunt for toy dinosaurs in the "tar". Everyone chose to wear the rubber gloves except Penny and Evie.

Ollie loved his party, presents, and games with his friends!!!!

Hoot & Howls at the Zoo

We went to the zoo last weekend for the Hoots and Howls October-fest fun. Lolo, June, and Uncle Jeff came with us - which made it REALLY fun.

June and Penny are going to be best buddies. June likes to attack hug Pen.

Giant zoo animal mural painting. It had rained the day before so the mural was almost fresh for us.

No one was into the huge penguin or lion. No high fives for you!

Pet a goat and hear a story - what could be better! It was a nice day and no Africa (for those unfamiliar with the KC zoo, Africa is really far away and LONG) - Hooray!

Zoo Run 2013

This year I raced for the Penguins, and Ollie joined me! I ran the 4 mile first, and did pretty well. Type in my bib # 96 to see me. I am excited because next year I will be in a new age group. One benefit of getting older - I guess. Hopefully, I will come in under 10. Ollie and I did the 1 mile next. He LOVED it. He was so proud of his medal. He tells me that next year, he is doing the 4 mile with me. Ollie loves to run, so who knows!

Baby Chickies

My class hatched eggs again this year. I brought the chickies home for the weekend. The kids really had fun with them this year. We decided to have a dollhouse chick photo shoot. Penny would wake up every morning, hear the chicks, and say 'check baby chickies". They were so cute.

Ollie's B-Day

I have not even posted about Ollie turning 5 yet! My buddy is now the big 05! I will put an offical post with likes and dislikes, and a pic with him in his chair later. This is a photo at Dave and Buster's. JJ was in town for a few days, and Dick and Ginny came up for Ollie's big day. We went out the Legends, where we thought we could maybe go to the T-Rex Cafe. It was a no go again this year. "Maybe when I am 6" says Ollie. We had a great time anyway. Ollie is such a lucky kid to have so many people who love him. Happy Birthday, buddy!

Ren Fest with the Benbens

The Benbens were in town last weekend for a visit and to go to the Renaissance Festival. It rained all morning, but luckily the rain cleared out. It was good, muddy fun.
