Memorial Day

After a few days or horrible wind, Memorial Day was gorgeous. 

Memorial Day afternoon, my family began wheat harvest.  With such beautiful weather, I had to take the kids out. 



Daddy with his arms full. 

"Like this, Dad?"



"Oh, I soooo have this down.  Back off, Dad.  I'm driving!"



Papa with his arms full. 

I hate that we didn't get many pictures of Marleigh, but she was in the combine riding with her Papa. 



As soon as we go thome, Marleigh headed straight for her tractors!

Marleigh looked through the pictures and noticed there weren't very many of me, so she took this picture.  Not too bad for a 3 year old!  :)

Kade Johnson: Personal Trainer

Someone didn't take too kindly to the last post.  ;) 

Introducing, Richard Simmons Workout Kade!

"Okay, Mom.... let's work out!"

"We'll start with some light stretching.  And reach!!!"



"Leg lifts!!!  Feel the burn, Mom?"

"Jumping Jacks!!!  Keep up the energy!"



"Up next, push ups!"



"Say, what?!?  Mom, you can't be tired! We're just getting started!"







Okay, son.  Lesson learned.  Mama will never poke fun at you again.   







Like a fat kid loves cake

Marc has a saying.  When someone really likes something, he says,  "..... like a fat kid loves cake." 

For example:

Marc loves KSU like a fat kid loves cake.

Sarah loves the Royals like a fat kid loves cake.

Marleigh loves pink and sparkles like a fat kid loves cake.

Well, here's the proverbial "fat kid"  loving his cake!

Ashley gave Kade some chocolate cake the other day.  Safe to say he liked it. :)

And just so you know, I do NOT think he is fat.  He just a big, solid boy!  

Such an active boy!

Tonight, I was giving Marleigh a bath.  Daddy and Kade were in the living room.  After getting Marleigh out of her bath, this is what I walked into. 

Nice supervision, Daddy!  ;) 

Kade is an incredibly inquisitive little guy.  A dramatic (but welcomed) change from what we're used to.  I look forward to all the messes yet to come!

"Bubba, you so funny!" 

"No, Sissy.  YOU so funny!" 

Such happy babies!

Sibling love. 

Someone is pretty excited to run through the sprinkler during Kade's nap! 

Having fun in the backyard



Marleigh ready to go for a ride!



And when there's not a Harley around, you improvise!  I was in the kitchen and all I heard was, "Giddyup, Bubba!  I said, 'Giddyup!'"   He was laughing at his sister the whole time.
