We went to Kansas City to see the Royals and Cardinals play. Our friends from Kansas City were able to go with us. We had a great time and the kids loved it!

We love Summer!

Goofy kids..for once Olivia has control over Ethan!

It was beautiful out Sunday evening as the weather was cooler, preparing for the rain to come. We enjoyed some wonderful family time outside! A few pics I snapped of the kids...

Superman and the Ballerina

We had a pretty uneventful weekend, which was nice. It rained Saturday and Sunday mornings, but we were still able to enjoy a trip to the pool on Saturday, even though the water was cold! Since it was wet outside, the kids were stuck inside for a bit. They decided to get their costumes out and dress up!

Ethan's 4-Wheeler

Pre-driving lessons!

Papa got Ethan his very own 4-wheeler for his 5th birthday. He was quite excited to receive this wonderful gift in Nebraska and is a good little driver. Mom was a little nervous about this adventure, but Ethan and Papa are very safe and cautious using it. Ethan was very ecstatic to tell me that it takes real gas and has real keys!! I think Papa even put him to work using it by moving some brush.

Ethan's 5th Birthday!

Showing off the big "5" - Ethan requested a Hulk Smash cake - where does he get these ideas??!

A new game for the Wii - MarioKart. I think mom and dad like it just as well as Ethan!

In Ethan's words "I have been waiting to go to a baseball game my entire life." We got Ethan tickets to the KC Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals game in June. He is very excited since he has been waiting to go his entire life!

A new ball bag for all of his ball gear!

We celebrated Ethan's 5th birthday on Sunday! We all had a great time. Hard to imagine he is already 5, such a big guy now!
