Double Weekend Recap

I never got around to posting last weekend's recap, so I am just going to do both in one post.

Last weekend, we had a very busy weekend but we had a lot of fun!

Friday night we made some last minute plans and went to Panzon's with some of Ryan's coworkers. Brennen ended up just staying at my parent's house, so he got to have two sleepovers with them this weekend.

Saturday we watched our nephew Landen for a few hours and him and Brennen had a lot of fun playing. Then he took a 2.5 hour nap so I knew he had a good time!

Brennen loves his Landen!

We took B over to my parent's house Saturday night and my cousin Sheila was over there with her new baby Shane.  Brennen decided he needed to help Grandma feed the baby.  He was adorable! 

Saturday night we celebrated our friend Rachel's 30th birthday.  We went bowling and dancing and had a blast!

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Sunday my brother had booked a tour at the Boulevard Brewery, so Aunt Sarah, Caden & Landen came over to watch B while we went to the tour.  It was actually a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend trying it out if you have never been. I am not a huge beer drinker, but over the past year and a half I have learned to actually enjoy beer, so it was fun to get to try new kinds.

It was a wonderful weekend, but very busy.  On Sunday night I was really just wanting one more day to relax and do nothing! 

This past week seemed to go pretty fast.  It was Ryan's last week before starting his coaching job, so we tried to enjoy his free time as much as possible!

Friday night we ordered pizza and watched the KU basketball game.  It was so nice to just relax and spend time together!

A little half time play break!

Saturday, Ryan took a class out at Smoke n' Fire to learn more about his smoker. Then, we had Syler's 3rd birthday party at Monkey Bizness.  It is an indoor play place and Brennen had a blast!  After a much needed nap, we did some yard work.  Because of the wonderful KS weather, we had to get some of our leaves picked up.  It was in the 70's on Saturday and dropped into the 30's and rained most of the day on Sunday.  I am not quite ready for the cold yet.  Luckily, it is supposed to warm back up into the 50's for the rest of the week.

B playing and enjoying some birthday cake!

Here is B being silly in the bath. It was time to get out and instead he said "night, night" and didn't want to get out.  He thought he was pretty funny!

Since Sunday was so nasty out, we stayed home most of the day and got some organizing done around the house.  Ryan's parents came over for breakfast and to spend some time with Brennen. 

My happy boy...I just can't get enough of him!!

It was a very relaxing weekend, which was much needed. We have a pretty busy week and weekend ahead, so hopefully the work week will go by quickly and the weekend will be here before we know it!

Choo Choo Lunch & Park

My brother Dustin and Meg took off work today, so we met them for lunch at Fritz's. For those of you who have never heard of this place, your food is delivered to your table by a train.  Let's just say that Brennen loved it since he is really into playing with trains right now.  He was very tired because he was up at 6:30am this morning. (Usually he wakes up between 7 and 7:30.)  But overall, he was a very good boy!

Conductor Brennen

Dustin might hate me, but this picture made me laugh so I had to include it :)

Then, my mom and Brennen went to the park with them but I unfortunately had to go back to work :( However, they sent me pictures so I could pretend to enjoy the beautiful weather too!

Brennen was so exhausted. My mom said it only took him a few minutes to fall asleep on the drive home!

It was such a wonderful last minute surprise to get to spend some time with them!!

Now we are ready to relax and watch some KU basketball tonight. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Rock Chalk!

Happy Birthday Caden!

We celebrated our nephew Caden's birthday last night.  His birthday isn't until the 11th, but we won't get to see him on his actual birthday.  We got together at Ryan's parent's house for a steak dinner, presents and cake!  It was a great night and I think Caden had a good time.

Caden with his legos we got him!

Even Brennen & Landen got some gifts from Auntie Kay...water bottles & markers!

Caden with his helmet

 Then, Caden got a card saying to go outside for a surprise...what could it be??

An electric scooter!!  (This was the best picture I could snap on my phone.)

 After most everyone took a turn on the scooter, we headed inside for some cake.

Brennen did not like having frosting on his finger

So Papa took care of it and he was just fine...silly boy!

The birthday boy!

Brennen was exhausted and passed out on the way home!

Happy Birthday Caden!  You are growing into such a wonderful boy and we love you so much!

Pumkin Patch & Halloween

I had the day off yesterday, so my mom and I decided to take Brennen to the pumpkin patch.  We hadn't made it yet this year, so I wanted to try to get a few pics of him...nothing like waiting until the last day!

We went to Schaakes Pumpkin Patch.  This was our first time, and I have to say I wasn't very impressed.  I know it was their last day open, but it was Halloween and there was really nothing going on.  There was a field trip group there, but other than that we were the only people.  We were never greeted by anyone and all they really had were two playgrounds and a hay maze. We did get some pictures and Brennen got to see some chickens and cows, but that was it.  Maybe if we would have gone on a weekend it would have been more lively.  Anyway, here are the pictures!

Yes, the cow is peeing and now all B says is "cow, pee pee"

After the pumpkin patch, we stopped by Ryan's work to show off our cute little Mickey!

Then we stopped to show Grandpa and Uncle Chris Brennen dressed up while they were working.

Later that night, we headed over to Ryan's parent's house for dinner and trick or treating.  I made these adorable mummy dogs for dinner which the boys seemed to enjoy!

Caden wore an old man mask that Brennen wasn't really sure about.  He knew it was Caden, but did not like when he put the mask on.  He would point to him and say "Caden, no"!  Other than him getting used to the mask, he did awesome for his first trick or treating experience! Once he realized the people were giving him candy, he was all over it and wanted to do everything by himself.

Landen the nerd!

It was a great night and we now have way too much candy in our house!
