Attempt....

So I attempted to take some pictures of the little man by myself today.....uh yeah.....that's next to impossible.  Thank goodness I had this box to "trap" him in.....  :) 

Great Grandma Ginny's 92nd Birthday!

We headed down to Quincy to help Great Grandma Ginny celebrate her 92nd Birthday....here is Grandma with the kiddos. 

State Farm Park

Kinley has been dying to go to State Farm Park this summer.  We pass it every day on our way into town and I always explain to her that we can't go without Grandpa....so he can let us in.  We finally found a day that worked for all of us and boy did the kids have fun.  They have things for all ages and Hudson LOVED the zero depth part of the pool....he was crawling and splashing all over the place.  Kinley has asked to go there again nearly every day since.  Uncle Blake, Grandma and Grandpa all joined us....what a fun way to spend the evening! 

Silly boy!

Happy 4th!

Rides & Duckies

Kinley has been talking about the 4th of July for over a month now.  She wanted to go ride rides with Audrey and do the ducky game like she did last year.  You would have never known it was 100 degrees outside....she loved every minute of it!  :) 

 Even Hadley got to get in on a little of the action....

 This roller coaster was new this year....the girls were not real sure about it at the beginning....at all....  It was pretty fast moving for them at least and pretty jerky.  They also went backwards for a while....

 By the end of the ride they were mostly all smiles though....but they were OK not to ride it again.  :-) 

 Hudson and his first carousel ride....this was before it was going....he thought he was pretty big stuff.  When it started he wasn't sure what to think but by the end he was smiling and wiggling with excitement.  :) 

 I feel like Kinley is so grown up sometimes....but I love how little they look here.....such cuties....

 Picking their ducks and getting their "surprise".....Kinley was so excited to do this game she had to do it twice.  And I'm sure we'll be back next year..... :)

 And we had to do the big slide twice too.....once with Mommy and once with Daddy....this was another ride that was talked about all year long.....so she was very excited to get to do it again.

Such a fun time with great friends and cute little girls!  :)  

~Firsts at the Lake~

There were a lot of firsts for a quick trip to the lake this weekend.....   This was Hudson's first time to the lake....and he was such a good water baby!  :)  Kinley also tried waterskiing for the first time and loved it!  It was HOT, but there was always a pretty nice breeze on the lake so if you were in the shade or water it was actually pretty comfortable.  Hudson loved crawling around in the shade on the pontoon boat.  And Kinley loved showing him around the "Yozarks"....she was a great big sister.

Hudson's first time on the boat.....he's happy and clapping so that's a good sign!  :) 

 Cutie pie.....

 All suited up for his first float in the lake.  He was not a fan of the sunglasses....but kept all of it on once he could splash in the lake...

 Our little waterskier!!!!  She had so much fun and looked so little out there!  Other boats were clapping for her and taking pictures....so she thought she was pretty big stuff!  :)  She skied every morning we were there.  This trainer ski is perfect for little ones learning to ski.  There is a board with places for their feet just like a ski under that inflatable part.

 Just floatin'.....

 Hangin' by the pool.....
