Seriously. Can't believe it's been so long since i've blogged. : ) Goes to show how busy we keep around here. Nate & I just got home this afternoon from a long overdue mini-vacation to KS City for a few days! We had a great time. We spent all Saturday riding roller coasters & laughing like kids at World's of Fun. I just never tire of that place, and as for my husband--well, I think we've created a monster. : ) He loves the coasters just as much as I do, and it's so much fun to laugh & scream & experience that stuff together!! We just had a ball! Completely pooped out at the end of the night, but well worth it! It was beautiful outside, and I must say that getting to wear jeans to WOF and not be hot was a major plus. : ) How awesome! Gotta luv goin in Sept vs July! LOL. They started their Halloween Haunt stuff this weekend, so it got a bit interesting after dark, lol. Lot's of interesting characters wandering around, lots of "fog" and strange noises in the night. : ) Oh well, good excuse to hold on tight to each other's hands. : ) We went back & crashed at our hotel and then on Sunday we slept in (who-hoo!) till 8:00 and then had breakfast, got ready, and headed out to a Royals' game!! How fun!! 82 degrees & beautiful! Seats straight up from 1st base, free t-shirts, a home run, and a win!! Not to mention ice-cream-in-a-helmet and "take me out to the ballgame"!! : ) Such fun. After the game, we just happened to find a shopping mall : ) and then ate a nice supper out and even went bowling! : ) just nice, fun, relaxing stuff. went back & took a dip in the pool & hot tub, and just chilled. Got up this am and had breakfast at our fav KS City diner-"The Waffle House" and then headed for home!! Stopped a few times along the way and were home by afternoon. SO GOOD TO SEE OUR BABIES!! : ) They were nappin when we got home, so we had the ultimate pleasure of goin up and getting them when they woke up! : ) So excited!! Such GOOD smooches & hugs!! They were glad to see Mommy & Daddy--however, they had SO much FUN with BooBoo & PaPaw for the last 3 days!! They didn't even miss us till we were already back. : ) The way it should be!! So fun!!
Other than our little getaway, things have been normal and good around here!! Crazy busy with the two little guys, who aren't so little anymore.
Colby is now 2 and weighs in at 35 lbs!! SO busy, we call him a little tornado! You don't believe it? Take him home--but just for a little while--and see!! haha!! Such a passionate little pistol, oooh! Love him sooo much!! He's hilarious, comin out with new words all the time & jabberin away. Doin everything brother does, and sometimes more. : ) Loves to run, jump, play ball, swing, slide, play in sand/dirt, play with his uncle & cousin, check out the cornfields, watch for firetrucks, chase the puppy, and about anything and everything else a 2 year old little boy does!! : ) Such a joy!! Perfect in every way!!
Ryan's almost 4 (Oct 18th!!) and weighs in at about 39 lbs! Strong & healthy, SMART & happy!! So meticulous and proper, yet all boy too. : ) Any type of construction machine, digger, tractor, combine, train, plane, or automobile gets his attention!! Transformers too!! Daddy's proud of that one!! You tell him somethin once, he'll know if for life!! Such a brilliant handsome and ornery boy, perfect in every way!! : )
Our little family is thriving and healthy, strong and happy. : ) We thank God every day for each other and our home, jobs, families, and friends. It feels good to actually have a chance to sit down & put all this on "paper"!! : ) I will try to get back in the blogging habit, i do enjoy it. : ) For now, here's a link to a bunch of adorable pictures!!
