Garden Butterfly

We have this really cute garden butterfly. She is colorful and blends in beautifully with the flowers. She is very quick and it was very difficult to get a picture of it holding still. The neighborhood probably saw her this week fluttering down the street.

Finally we caught her long enough to get one photo that wasn't out of focus.

Time for a New Bed?

The other afternoon, I heard London crying very LOUD and HARD, up from her nap. I went upstairs and this is what I found. I couldn't help but laugh and to her to wait a moment - I just had to get my camera to capture this moment. The poor girl - mama left her stuck, "high-rised" on her crib railing.

So sad, you can see her tears

Yes, I did finally take her off.

The cupcake shirt is a gift from our neighbor Megan, I didn't make this one. Next time Megan makes pinkalicious cupcakes I think London should be invited - she has the perfect outfit.

mmmm Jiffy Pop

Our kids L*O*V*E Jiffy Pop Popcorn. I always try to have some on hand and I believe these are from Christmas stockings. Kassade and Keyton had a few issues trying to get these popped.

They came up with some creative ways to hold and shake it in order to get it started. They also were fighting over who got to put their popcorn where. Kassade went through two before she got hers popped. First of all she kept catching hers on fire and then she kept smacking Keyton's popcorn with hers and then next things we knew - there was flying popcorn out of hers. So, she had to start over. It was funny - you had to be there - too bad it wasn't video taped.

This is Keyton's

Kassade with hers - she didn't want to eat it - she just likes popping it

It's Football Season

Go Buckeyes!

Football season is finally here. I have to admit that I do enjoy football, lazy Sunday afternoons laying on the couch with Russ watching games. But, we do enjoy college football more than NFL. Our house holds many teams - College: Ohio State and Georgia State, NFL: Green Bay, Cleveland Browns and KC Chiefs (Keyton not Russ).

Keyton is also playing football this fall and he just started this past week. So we will have those games to look forward to.

It probably seems strange in Kansas to see an Ohio State or Georgia flag hanging on our front porch. Time to get back to the game.

For Real ? ? ?

This is what London does when we color with chalk.

I don't get it

Such concentration

Is there anyone else out there who's child does this?

or is she is the exception?

Another Zoo Trip

The other weekend we went to the zoo with mom and dad. London enjoys seeing all the animals and it is really fun to watch how she reacts to them.

I wanted to take her picture with the gorilla - she wasn't too sure about them.

I think she is keeping an "eye" on the one next to her.

We enjoy feeding the giraffes. Talk about getting up close and personal with them.

Dad seemed to have the most fun with them.

London doesn't mind the baby, but Emmett scared her a little bit.
