The Shriner's Circus Came to Kearney

The Shriner's Circus came to Kearney last week, the school had handed out tickets and Grady asked every day for a week when we were going to go. I hate to let a kid down so we loaded up and went last week. I'm so glad we did because it was very entertaining to them at this age but might not be in a few more years. They had a blast and so did mom and dad :)

 There were two motorcycle drivers in this ball, Bryce can't stop talking about it

 Anna the elephant was pretty amazing with all of her tricks

 We found Sharky the juggling clown in the hallway

 Bryce doesn't like clowns any better than he likes Santa or the Easter Bunny :(

 There were three spinning, twirling, flipping ladies on ropes, pretty cool!

 At one point this hula lady had 30 some hula hoops around her body

 Grady was more interested in the circus food than the actual events...

 Bryce however, LOVED every minute of it pointing and smiling

 Grady devoured the cotton candy within minutes

 Bryce tried it but wasn't a big fan of it

 The arena

These ponies did some neat things and Bryce kept saying he wanted to ride them :)



Outdoor Adventures

 One day Brad took his boys to the shop to build something together

Love our bird house, looks great next to my hanging basket I put together today

 Yep, seeing this is pretty common at our house. They were using the garden hose to 'gas up' their toys and when I went to snap the picture Bryce yelled, 'wait I gotta pee' with no regard to where he was at. Good thing we live in Hazard where no one cares and those that see will wave anyways ;)

 The long sidewalks around our house provide fast tracks for our kids toys

 I love summer time for the pretty flowers and freshly mowed lawn smell

 Bryce wanted to mow just like daddy

The new sandbox is never empty!!

Grady's Bday Party

On the actual day of Grady's birthday we had some of his preschool friends over after school that day. In the few short hours they were at our house I think they played with EVERY toy the boys own! For supper they roasted hotdogs and had a picnic outside. The trampoline is always a good time for energetic boys and the picture with Grandpa Greg and Grandma Cyndy is Greg shooting a marshmallow gun! The boys LOVED trying to catch the marshmallows and shooting at each other! Everyone got a turn and I the night was a success! Happy 5th Birthday Grady Lee, we love you more than life itself!

Fun in the Sun

Last week we had 1 day reach 95 degrees and the next was 90 degrees now we are back down to 50 degrees :( BUT...while the weather was nice the boys took advantage of it!!

 Why is sitting on a sprinkler so much fun!!!

 Oh...so you have the control to spray your little brother!!

 My two little hot dogs trying to cook in the sun

One of my hot dogs has a bit more ketchup than the other ;)

Grady's End of The Year Preschool Program

I'm sad to say but happy too that Grady's preschool years have ended and he's on to Kindergarten this fall. This week he had his end of the year preschool program and Kindergarten Round Up. Our baby is getting so big! We will celebrate his birthday next week with a party at the lake per his request!

Happy Birthday Grady Lee

Happy Easter

Bryce wasn't very fond of the Easter Bunny, this was as close as he got
Grandma Cyndy and Great Grandma Phyllis come with us to the huntGrady appears to have gotten a head start on the crowd! It didn't help much as he only got 2 eggs because of the abundance of kids in his age group. Bryce is a good sharer so it was ok!Bryce did very well in his age group gathering up about 15-20 eggs. Inside the eggs are candy or a piece of paper to claim a prize from Ravenna's area businesses. Bryce got 4 slips of paper this year making quite the haul but he shared one with his brother and the other with a friend of ours.These baskets are two of the prizes they got from the area businesses!
One other prize was from the bank where they claimed a $5 bill
~Happy Easter Everyone from Our House to Yours~

~Chickens~

Look what we have, just in time for Easter!! The boys are in love with them!! The black ones we will keep for laying eggs and the yellow ones well...we like to eat fried chicken need I say more!
