Weekend in Kansas City

Will and I spent the weekend in KC.  We really wanted to go home and spend the day with My mom and sister (as well as the rest of the fam) for their birthdays, but we decided to stay put and try to relax.  They were meeting at Forrest Park for the Balloon Races on Saturday!  How fun! Happy Birthday Mom and Katie!
It was a good weekend, I'm glad we stayed.  Friday night was quiet.  Saturday we ran some errands, grabbed some lunch and then the visited a very nice mass at St. Therese Parish.  A very energetic visiting priest from Cross Catholic Outreach painted a vivid picture of what some parts of the world deal with everyday.  I left there feeling alive and very lucky to be living the life I've been blessed with.
After mass we ran one more errand...in search of a wine glass for me and Evie & Mr. Cuddles (more Mike the Knight figurines) for Will.  Unfortunately that took us to Wal-mart (not my favorite place)!  Will was so excited that he had enough birthday money left to make his purchase.  He has been so mature about spending his money.  He found two Mike the Knight toys that he wanted but he didn't have enough money for both of them, so he decided to put the more expensive one back and get Evie unstead.  I was prepared for a little fit...but nope!  Thank you Mr. Will!

Sunday we were invited to have brunch with my cousin Michelle and her family.  Thank you Michelle and Bruce for the wonderful meal and for being so welcoming.  Will had a great time with Ben, Brandon and Miss Katie.  They all played well together and even got to watch Mike the Knight!  Will was a happy boy!  After a wonderful meal we left Bruce at home and met some more cousins for an afternoon of fun!  Jessica and Garrett as well as Jennifer and Michael were waiting for us at Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead.  Will was excited when he saw the big red barn!  What a great place to visit!
 
   Will got pretty good at throwing food for the geese!

He also enjoyed watching the other kids feed the geese.

Here's the gang!  

It was a great day!  Thanks Jennifer, Jessica and Michelle for making us feel so at home in Kansas City!

Next weekend Phil and the kids are coming up on the train!  I can't wait to see them!  It's been fun to Skype, but it will be nice to actually spend some time together.

The Final Week! A fun filled weekend with family and dives 27 &28

Happy Monday!  It's week 3.  We're almost finished.  Will is ready to go home.  He is missing his Daddy, (and he just saw him yesterday!). Phil and the kids came in Friday night and stayed until yesterday afternoon.  We filled the weekend with as much as we could!  Two movies (me and big kids), 3 dives (Will and his daddy), indoor skydiving (Ben and Isabel), and church (together!)!  Together again!  My kiddos!  Will's waving to the camera! All the happy divers...Phil, Grandma Linda, Mason (front and center!) Josie and Will! I had a fun surprise for Ben and Isabel!  Indoor Skydiving!  They LOVED it!  Score one for MOM!  It was fun to watch.  Will said he's going to do it next time!  I might just try it too!   They take you out once to let you figure it out and then give you a second flight to go much higher! The first video shows Isabel's first flight, the instructor said sh...

Hello Friday!!! Dives 36 and 37

Dive 36- Josie and Will.  Started the day with another dose and oxygen and Mickey Mouse! Our last solo workout in Miss Tiffany's gym.  We skipped the yoga today and went right for the stairs.  Will grabbed his canes and some friends and got started.  As he was walking it occurred to me how often I took for granted when Ben and Isabel went walking across the floor with toys in their hands.  Just think about that for a minute...then watch this video! He carried Mario and Luigi to the stairs.  I carried them up the stairs and then he proceeded to throw them down.  Typical kiddo! After getting hurled down the stairs now poor Mario has to be thrown in a hoop!  Poor guy! He threw all of Mario's friends in the basket too.   Then he made his way across the room to leave Miss Tiffany one last message.  He made it about halfway when he fell, but you know Will, he got right up and finished the job! I think Will enjoy...

Week 3, Tuesday, Dives 29 & 30

Dive 29- Mr. Will and Josie.  Mickey Mouse, our morning ritual! After the dive Will headed over to Miss Tiffany's gym.  I guess we'll stick around, he likes working in there!  He basically set the whole day up, I only added one thing!  He started himself on the stairs.  I just stood back and filmed! Rock on , Mr. Will! This next thing I added.  The next time you get up from sitting (in a chair for example) think about what all goes into that. I think this will be something he could master when we come back this summer!  By the way, Miss Tiffany will be back for that one!   Back to Will's plan.  He didn't want me to video him getting into position but I thought it showed a lot of good work on Will's part.  Pulling yourself on a scooter is an amazing workout!   Now for the "real" video.  Will set up all the pins and now he is kicking them over, according to his plan!
