Island Park in Winfield

We spent this past weekend in Winfield with some friends. We took the kids to Island Park to see the geese and play on the castle playground. Here's Brody and Hank.



Playing hide and seek with Daddy.
Dan, Abbie, Hank, and Libby joined us at the park. We always have a good time spending time with them! Wish we could do it more often.

Fishing Trip...

We went home this weekend, and Patrick was determined to get some fishing in. So after trying a few ponds that morning, my grandpa and Pat found the "gold mine."

They weighed one of them and it was about 5 lbs. They caught 10 total that morning.

Here's my Grandpa Larry and Patrick showing them off.
So because they had such great luck at the pond in the morning, we decided to go back that evening with Jerod and Amy. Here's Amy showing off her "Catch of the Day!" Isn't it ADORABLE!

Feeding the Ducks and Geese...

We visited Shawnee Mission Park this morning to see all the geese and ducks. They always make me very nervous b/c they come running right up to us, knowing they are going to get fed....but Brody thinks it's so much fun!

Except here, he must think they are going to play a game of "CHASE!"

Brody thought it was neat to see the baby geese, so he would try to take the bread right up to them, but the Mommy Geese weren't liking that AT ALL! They kept making hissing sounds at him, to keep him away.........it didn't work!

After a while, Brody started eating the bread himself. One goose came right up to him and tried to snatch the bread out of his hand!

Yard Help!

Now that spring is here, Patrick has been outside working on the lawn. Dandelions everywhere! Patrick hates them....Brody LOVES them! He likes to bring me bouquets of "pwetty fowers!" Here he is picking "flowers".

Brody is 2!!

Brody turned 2 last Sunday! I can't believe it's been 2 years! Here's a picture of his "Dump Truck" cake.


He was so EXCITED when he blew out his candle!!
Brody didn't want to get his fingers dirty so he ate his cupcake with no hands!!
Aunt Ann gave him a tunnel for his birthday....it was a big hit!

KU - National Champions!!

We all watched the Championship game at the Sports Book @ Bills Casino! We had the entire section to ourselves with a ton of TVs. It was great!


Jerod, Patrick, & Tyler are placing their bets!

Here's some of us showing off the $money$ we won because KU defeated Memphis! Go Jayhawks!!!!!!

VEGAS pics...

Here we are after the KU vs UNC game on Saturday! We watched the game at ESPNZone in Vegas...and sat next to a group of students from Duke. We were all rooting for the Jayhawks!

This is us outside of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino.

Again, in front of the Bellagio watching the water show.

We all stayed at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. It was about 75 degrees all weekend and felt wonderful!!
Here's the whole crew at Ceasar's Palace doing some site seeing! We were waiting on Luke and Amber's flight to get in.
