Uncle Bosh's wedding

Kara's Uncle "Bosh" got married last weekend. I thought it would be nice to get some pictures of us all when we were all dressed up. They didn't turn out half bad!

Swordfighting Masters!

Mom bought these foam swords for the kids to play with. Kara has been using them for a while now to slay dragons (mostly her Uncle Matt). Over this past weekend we were finally able to get Landen in on the fighting. I think these kids have a new favorite toy at Grandma's!

Kara's Baby "Brudder"

We've finally told everyone that we are expecting a new baby. Kara is certain that she will be getting a brother, so I'm just going to humour her for now.

We told Blaine's Granny by handing her the u/s pics and having her guess what the picture was of. Her eyes must be really bad since she guessed a car window or an arm. This prompted Kara to beg to see them, and she said "Granny, it's a triangle" I've laughed and laughed over that, although she does have a point, because the way the u/s works the first pic does have the outline of a triangle.

So now she has questions about how the baby is doing on a daily basis. Before I went to work on that first night we told her she wanted to know what I was going to do with the baby while I was at work. I told her the baby would just be coming with me for a little while yet. She also laid her head on my tummy and told me that she could hear the baby crying. The following night she wanted to know what the baby eats. I told her baby still gets his food from Mommy, so he eats what I eat. After supper she asked "did the baby like his macaroni and peas?"

Such a smart kiddo! If only this next one can be as sharp we will be in good shape!

Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Here are a few pics from ours. On Saturday I took Kara to the city egg hunt at the park. She was really more interested in playing on the playground than she was in getting eggs, but she seemed to have a good time. The only wrinkle in the day was that they had a "bunny catch" and she wasn't the one that caught the bunny and got to take him home.









On Easter Kara and I went to church with Grandma and Papa. Mommy got to sing in the choir while Kara played in the nursery. She wasn't real up on having her picture taken in her pretty dress afterwards, because she was ready to watch a movie and get comfy. That afternoon she got to build a cookie bunny house with Matt and Mir. The poor kid got worn out halfway through and told Uncle Matt he could finish it himself. Then she settled in to watch a movie with them and fell asleep. Poor kiddo was running a fever and didn't even wake up for the party that evening. So there was no actual egg hunting on Easter day!

And this final pic is of Kara wearing my concert t-shirt from my last NKOTB concert. She really wanted to try it on, and then once it was on it was too cute not to take a picture of!

One fun weekend

We had a super fun weekend around here this past weekend.

We kicked off on Friday with a trip to Chanute to go to the library. We also went to a farm store and placed an order for our baby chicks. I can't wait to see how Kara does with them!

On Saturday Kara and I went and picked up Grandma Laurie to go to Pittsburg and shop. Mom and I also had haircuts this day. At the mall we ran in to a very special bunny, and Kara just HAD to sit on his lap. She was very brave to go up there, but the poor photographer had to work VERY hard to get any kind of smile out of her. He even had to have Mr. Bunny tickle her!




We ended our day with a trip to the movies to watch Monsters vs. Aliens. Kara LOVED it! She sat still the whole movie through and even today will tell people all about it.

Sunday we went to church, and Kara and another girl had a great time smacking each other with the palm fronds for Palm Sunday. We spent the afternoon playing at Grandma and Papa's. Kara was so worn out that she fell asleep on the way back home, and only woke up once in the middle of the night for a drink and to change beds!
