Guess what…

Took the kids to the dentist today and guess which one of the three has a cavity…

AUDREY!

I told you all…didn’t I!

My little “sweetie”

Audrey is my child that LOVES sweets and doesn’t ask me if she can have food…she will just find a way to get it on her own!

So a few weeks back I made some brownies.  I let her have a few small brownies one day.  I came into the kitchen to get a brownie for myself and this is what I found!

She left one little brownie in the middle of the dish!

She has a dentist appt this week…wonder if she will have any cavities!!!

SOCCER

Eli’s spring soccer season ended in June.

Can you tell it was HOT that day!

The team!

Eli also went to soccer camp in June.

He learned some new skills and had a lot of fun too!

Just a few weeks until practices start for fall soccer.

Garden

We planted a garden again this spring.  Lots of veggies!  And we had planted strawberries last year and we got a ton of strawberries already!

They were so sweet and yummy!

Cub Scout activities

Eli’s scout den met on a Saturday morning to go on a nature hike.  We went to the Overland Park Arboretum.  It is such a beautiful place to walk around!  Good group of boys and their families!

Here is a group of the boys…I only wish Eli was looking!  I better see if someone  else has a better picture of this!

These are 5 of the boys from their den.

They also had cub scout camp in June.  Brian was able to take work off to help out and I think he really enjoyed it!

I am so proud of him for taking such a big part in Eli’s scouting activities!

Now, remember in all the group pictures that Eli is the one in the tye dye hat! 🙂

The firetruck came in to camp to spray them all with water.

They also had a family night where we all got to go out to camp for the evening!

We had a good time seeing what Eli had done during the week.

 

First summer trip to the zoo

We went to the zoo during the first week of summer vacation. The kids were excited to see the baby giraffes and to see if the SkyFari was open (it wasn’t open yet!). We always have such a fun time when we go…they are always so well behaved…and that doesn’t happen everywhere! 🙂

On the tram ride to Africa!

The baby giraffes were so cute.  We sat and watched them while we ate lunch.

They ride the carosel every time we go…a perk of having a Friends of the Zoo membership!

Audrey

Jocelyn – I am so glad that she will still ride along with Audrey.

Eli

Audrey – yes the sun was right in her eyes!!  I took 3 pictures and this was the best of the 3.

One of her favorite animals at the zoo are the snakes.  Snakes and Elephants are on her “must see” list for every zoo trip!
