Sunday Morning... Q man looking like a stud! We bought him some new Spring shoes and it made him look so big. Yesterday he was 11 months old. Wow. I am in shock at how fast the past 11 months have gone by!
After church we made a quick trip to KC. I wanted to go to the Disney Store and just get away for a little while. It was a fun time. We hung out at Oak Park Mall and rode the carrousel (?). It is a double decker one, and the kids always go to the top.
Even Gaby and Kadyn enjoy it.
Sunday Selfie... Kendal and I ready to ride.
Gaby had her heart set on trying bubble tea. After we ordered we ended up with a bubble smoothie. Not the same but it was still good. Kadyn didn't end up liking hers...
After we hung out at the mall for a while, we met up with family friends of ours. We ate at 5 Guys Burgers. It was our first time and it was a super yummy meal. However, they have endless amounts of peanuts and that is just silly to have with lots of kids. Needless to say, we made a mess and I tried to clean it but the employees wouldn't let me. Oh well. We didn't get kicked out; and the kids had a blast.
The adults sat one table over... and just in case we got our drinks mixed up, Bryan properly marked them for us. I don't know why, but it made me laugh!!!
We had a fun dinner hanging out with these peeps. Boy, I sure miss them... in Topeka, in passing, Cubbies, and in Church. I know it's only KC and I think we have done a pretty good job keeping in touch but it is still not the same. I love the time we get to hang out and chat. I value this couple more then they probably will ever know- they are just a fun family that we can be normal around. Our get-together time is always something I look forward to and just makes me smile to see these two people and their family. What a blessing these guys are to Dustin and I.
I love sneaking in and watching my kids play... this AM I saw Kadyn and her Barbie town all set up. I love that she still plays with them and has such an imagination. I remember spending countless hours in my room with my Barbies growing up as well- so I love to see my girls doing the same thing.
I sat down this afternoon and got our calendar caught up with camps, end of the year school events, recital dates, dance pictures and more. We are in the middle of what seems to be our busy season. I love it...most days!!! I felt better after getting everything down and organized.
The girls are in 5 dances this year... Kendal is doing 1 song, Mia has tap and hip hop, and Kadyn is doing tap and hip hop as well. I am excited to see the final product and to get them all dolled up for pictures this month.
Kadyn is thinking about going competitive this summer. I am praying over this as it would be a large expense and time commitment. I think she would love to do it however I am not sure how it will fit into our schedule as a family.
Kk is still plugging away at her reading. She is still progressing but still slow. We are still reading a ton at home and she still has 2 groups a day at school. We are no longer doing after school tutoring since her teacher is due any day now with their baby girl. I know the kids will miss their teacher of two years. She is such a sweet, loving lady and her kids LOVE her as do we, the parents. I know she and her hubby will make GREAT parents and I am excited for their new adventure as a mommy and daddy!
A teacher that knows their class will be a sub for the rest of the year. Kadyn has made such a huge gain, I am just hoping she will continue to make progress and hopefully "catch up". Her teacher made some ready lessons to work on suring the summer and I hope to observe her reading groups soon so we can make summer lessons up to keep her on the right track over summer. This will be the closest thing I get to homeschooling... Yikes! (I'm scared) :)
My church work pile. I gave up on it this afternoon and threw everything into a pile. Our church is building a family life center which will include 5 brand stinking new nursery rooms. I.AM.SO.EXCITED. However, the building won't be complete until August which is a little later then hoped. August becomes a nightmare of a month for us as we start soccer, school, dance, Awana, and fall life back up. Knowing August is crazy, I have outlined my projects for the new space from now until August in hopes I will keep my work load from stacking up. It's a great problem to have, and Lord willing this space will be awesome. I am so looking forward to what this area will have to offer our babies and young TBC families.
I am on day II of doing T25 workout. I like it OK. I loved going to Jazzercise. I miss it. I miss getting out of the house for "me" time. After Kendal and Qman, I just struggled to commit to a class time. So, we have a treadmill, an elliptical, and a TV hooked up in the garage so I can leave and go workout there. Not the same, but it's better then nothing. I just hate home workouts, again, it is better then nothing. My body has changed. After Mia was born, it was somewhat easy to loose weight. Five years and two babies later I am finding it to be a struggle. A huge struggle. I have made some little goals that will hopefully work up to some big goals. We will see... pray fro me.
Wrapping up... I hope everyone is kicking off their week well. Check back soon for more updates and daycare pictures. Happy Monday y'all!
