Last week we were able to spend the week in Wichita with Regan's grandparents. We had a great time! Carson loved being on the "farm"...here are a "few" pictures of our week...(beware lots and lots and lots of pictures to follow)
MondayBefore we even got inside Great Grandpa took Jack and immediately started calling him "Big Jack" - I wonder why he picked that nickname?

Great Grandma and the boys. I don't have tons of pictures of Great Grandma because she was working all the time and waiting on us hand and foot - Thanks Shirley for everything!!!!!! We love you!!!

Hugs!! Great Grandma looks a little nervous, but Jack is used to being attacked!!

Great Grandpa "getting" Carson...

Fishing on Great Grandpa and Grandma's pond!!!!

Carson feeding the catfish...they were huge!!!! As big as a real cat!!!!


Regan helping Carson fish for the first time - with his Transformers fishing pole!!!

Fishing takes deep concentration...

So cheesy...this is what I get - no smile or this...I'll take it!!!!

"I can do it all by myself" - just like an almost 3 year old, right?!!!

Playing with Sam...

Silly Sam - what are you doing in the water...



Regan fishing.

Great Grandpa did offer a ride, but Carson was not quite ready to ride on the 4 wheeler yet.
TuesdayThe Zoo!!! Uncle Ryan, Jenny, and Grandpa Robin went to the zoo with us on Tuesday!! It was so hot, but so much fun!!! Thanks for a fun day guys!!!!!

What kind of penguin are you?

"Look at that turtle!" Well, I think it's actually a tortoise...

Jack checking out the turtles swimming!!

Carson and his mommy (aka the photographer, this is the only picture of me)!!!

Napping Jack...such a trooper!!!

Carson, Regan, and two bald eagles - they look like they're kissing!!

He needed a little help from Uncle Ryan...


"Look Grandpa!! It has a bear on it!!"

"Hello silly monkey!!!"

"Peek-a-boo!!!"


"Yee Haa!!!"

Milking a cow...


"Giddy up!"

Feeding the goats...


"Just one more time!"

Exhausted, but patiently waiting for his elephant to get filled...

Making sure it has just the right amount of filling...

Making a wish and kissing the star...

Putting the star inside his elephant...

Leaving the zoo parking lot...

After the zoo we went to Regan's Aunt Debbie's house for dinner and to see Grandma Great. Thank you for a wonderful dinner Debbie and Phyllis - hope you had a happy birthday Debbie!!! We love you!!!!
Grandma Great with Jack!!!
WednesdayGreat Grandma and Grandpa walk to the pond each morning and asked if anyone wanted to go. Regan and I said "no" because we were still exhausted from the zoo, but Carson said "yes, I want to go to the pond" - he walked the entire way there and back!!!

Carson's first time on the 4 wheeler...

Back from their ride...Carson was saying "more daddy, faster, more, let's go!!!"

I love this picture of Regan!!
ThursdayCarson turned into a "farm boy" while we were at Great Grandma and Grandpa's...always wanting to go outside, without shoes - here he is trying to catch butterflies!!!

Carson found this bike in the garage and sat down and starting riding it!!! We're so proud of him!!! We're going to get him his own bike soon! Maybe an early birthday present!!!!

Annie and Sam!!!! Carson loves these dogs!!!



Great Grandpa let Carson sit on his 4 wheeler! Thanks Don for letting us use all your equipment!!! We love you!!! We all had a great time doing new things!!!!!

Don offered Carson a ride down to the pond, but Carson said "no thanks, not right now". He did want to go to the pond, so guess who got to walk with him down there...me!!!! Regan taught me how to drive a 4 wheeler, but I didn't feel comfortable driving with Carson on it and Regan wasn't feeling well this day, so we just walked.

Checking out the trail as we walked to the pond...he was "fixing" it!!

Luckily Great Grandpa came back and picked us up in his big old dump truck - Carson thought it was pretty cool!!!!






FridayOn Friday we drove back to Kansas City to go to the Royal/Cardinals game!! And it was Friday night fireworks too!!!
At The K...
I love this picture of Regan and Carson!!!


Carson climbing on the play equipment at The K, with the new, huge screen behind him!!

Regan racing Frank White...

He beat him!!!!! He got .38 and Frank White runs it in .41 - Good Job Reg!!!!!!! Not bad for being "under the weather" the day before.

Yeah, that's right - that's the cement wall of the stadium - we sat in the very last row!!! They were actually really great seats - we could see everything!!!!


My dad gloating about the Grand Slam - he's a big Cardinals fan!!! My whole family ended up all going to this game, but none of us got our tickets at the same time, so we were all scattered, but not too scattered, my sister and her family were just to the right of us, almost in this picture!!

One of our fellow nosebleeders offered to take our picture...not too bad!!!!

Super cute pic of Carson!!!!

Carson and "the guys"!!!! My brother, dad, and nephew!!

Thanks mom for watching Jack while we went to the game!!! We really appreciate it!!! We love you!!
As I put up all these pictures I realized I didn't take very many of Jack, but I will say he's the best baby ever - wonderful all week, and he's teething!! I'll be better next time and try to get "equal" amounts of pictures of both boys. And I also realize there are not many pictures of me, but Regan did take some, just with his phone, so there is proof of my existence in this family...I guess all these pictures prove it too!!!! Who else would have taken them!!! Hope you enjoyed the "catch up", now for a break, I've been blogging for an hour and a half - just for you!!!!!!!
