Random Things from the Holidays

I'm still trying to figure this out but I seem to only be able to upload 5 pics at a time so here are some pictures of the kids at Dixieland and Andrew playing miniature golf. There is also one of the Trail of Lights in Branson which was pretty awesome, the displays were ginormous. One evening we made homemade ornaments with balloons, string, glue and glitter...once everything dries the idea is to pop and remove the balloon leaving a glittery lacy ball but we'll have to try again next year : )

First Week in Kansas

We were unlucky enough to have the flu for the first week that we were here but we still tried to do a couple of things. Here are some random pics of us walking into town for an ice cream cone and Jacob playing with his remote control truck (he and Matt were the only ones spared the flu).

Moving Day!

Our final move to Kansas was on Sunday, November 15th. We had a really early flight out of Boise and had a really long layover in Salt Lake City. Here are a few pics of the kids keeping themselves busy at the airport...as you can see Emily decided to take a nap! We finally arrived in Tulsa at 6:00 p.m. After picking up our rental car and retrieving Ninja we hit the road and headed to our new home.

Moving to KANSAS!!

All of our things shipped out yesterday and we will reunite with them on Sunday, November 15th in Independence, KS. As soon as we are able to get settled in I will update this blog with pictures of our new home. Please check back!!

Wild West Carnival

The kids' school had a Wild West themed carnival and here are pics of Emily and Abby...thanks Mom : )

Finally up and running!!!

Matt and I finally got this blog thing figured out...sort of ; ) After uploading 550 pictures and trying to decide how far back I should go I decided to just jump in and start "blogging" about some of our most recent activities. I am really excited to be able to share what is happening in our lives!!!

Here the kids are just playing in the pool and being silly...


Here are some pictures of our first camping trip of the season. We went with my parents and my sister's family...here is a pic of all the kiddos...it rained ALMOST the whole weekend but we still had a ton of fun!!
