Last Night

Yesterday was huuuuuuumid and hot here. It was 88 degrees but felt like 98. Although it cooled off mid evening when the storms slid to the east of us and we had a nice time outside. Got some funny pics. Mostly of Gentry but Kennedy was riding her bike and not in the "posing" mood. However her sis was!!!

The "Girls"

Mommy's love

She's snorting like a pig in this one.

She found out her nose has holes! And picking it has become our new discusting habit

Kisses from Dad

Saying Cheeeeesssse!

Daddy and Gentry pulling stunts!

Awesome Weekend!

We had an awesome weekend camping out at the Acorn Cabins at Milford Lake. It made for a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. We surprised my Grandma and it was perfect! Here's a slew of pics to recap.


My grandma with her kids (minus one, my uncle Gail), her grandkids(minus one, my cousin Sean, and her great grandkids.

Beach walking

I just love this one! She's growing too fast. Both girls are.

Wave crashing!

Sun setting on the lake and Cabin. It was beautiful!

Gentry girl tearing up the road. But...really just sitting on the 4-wheeler on the trailor.

Mother's Day

Well this picture is a little over 3 yrs old now. Kennedy was only 3wks old. And of course there is no Gentry yet. But I just love this picture. It is my grandma Shirley (my mom's mom), my mom Susan and of course me and Kennedy. Four generations of women! I think it is the perfect picture for Mother's Day!

The New American Idol Contestant

REMINDER: To hear the video you will first have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and pause our playlist music. Then scroll back up and play video.

Kennedy's two favorite shows right now are Dancing w/ the Stars and Amercian Idol. Which is kind of funny for a 3yr old. But she loooves them. This was after American Idol the other night. She just kept singing and singing and singing. It gets better as it goes on. ATTN: Leslie and Deric....Pay close attention b/c she gives a shout out to ya in the song!
Keep in mind she makes this all up and I am not sure what she is even saying some of the time. But then again I don't when they sing on Idol sometimes either!

I tried to hold as still as possible while filming but at certain points it was impossible b/c I was laughing so hard. This actually isn't her "Best" either. It was mild b/c she knew I was filming!!!

Buck Teeth!

This is currently what our youngest child's front teeth look like and I swear those are not chicklets (the square gum)!!! Okay, now that you are in histerics I thought I should tell you that Kennedy's also used to look this way. They eventually grew together and didn't look sooooo large. We are up to 10 almost 12 teeth!

Big Sis loves it when Gentry gets to spend time with her in "her" bed. And little sis loves it just as much. Kennedy will go out of her way to make sure Gentry is comfy.


Little "Big" Gentry tries to wash her hands on her own now. Not quite tall enough yet though. She'll drag the stool over to the sink get up on it and start yelling "UP". It is quite cute. She currently is repeating about every word you say now, so all language of course must be filtered!!!

Building the Ark

Well we are in day 5 of a flood warning. We live on the very last street on the west side of town. We can see the river and its trees from the front porch of our house. It always floods when we get big rain. Luckily it never reaches any of the houses. It would flood every road on every side of our town if it did. And NO we do not live in a flood plane. So lets hope that never happens. Here are a bunch of pictures from the last couple of days.

Picture taken going over river bridge.

Weekend Wackiness!!!

Well, we had a great weekend full of great times with friends and family. Saturday we had a wedding to attend for our friends Sam and Nicole. We met them through our good friends Kris and Katie (Kennedy's God parents) They truly are all wonderfully genuine sweet people. After the the wedding and reception we headed a little further north and spent some time with our families.

Then we headed through Salina on our way back to visit our good friends Layne and Beth. They welcomed their second child Brynn Emmalee into the world this past wednesday. They also have a 2 yr old little boy Caden. And yesterday was his birthday. Along with Dana's brother Jason. We narrowly avoided most of the severe storms/tornados last night on our way home. Had we taken our usual route and gone through Walton we would have been caught in a tornado warning and other severe weather right behind it. Luckily the only thing we encountered was TORRRENTAIL downpour and amazing lightening!

Sam and Nicole right after the wedding in the greeting line. Aren't they so cute!!!

Katie giving Kennedy a hug.

Kris and Katie leaving the wedding in his shined up truck.

So I wanted a good picture of Dana and his girls...........this is the best I got. Kennedy is trying to show off her band aid. It's Scooby Doo! It matches her dress!

Storm moving north of Clay Center. Picture was taken from Dana's parents house. Storm went right through my parents house.

Caden and his new baby sister Brynn. Yesterday was Caden's 2nd Birthday!!!

Kennedy holding Brynn. She just loved her. Was constantly wrapping her tighter and didn't want mommy to take her back!
