January wedding and it was 68 degrees!

My cousin got married on Saturday by Wichita. It was a warm and sunny 68 degrees! What an awesome gift for a January wedding! Couldn't have planned that better. It was so nice to get to play outside at the park without coats even! The kids were actually sweaty and hot and Grady wanted his vest off. Crazy! Today it is -1 and snowy. I want Saturday back...
The wedding was at 2 so we had plenty of time to play on the playground during the reception. The reception was in the school that is right next to the church so it was perfect locations of everything with the playground right in the middle and outside the school. I'm pretty sure the kids played outside for about 3 hours.
Paul, Brynlee, and I even got to sneak over to mass during the reception since it was so close and convenient! It was great! Kind of a long day, we left by 8 on Sat morning and drove home that night so we for back around 1:00 am. But, we were so glad we had all day yesterday at home! Well, Paul and the kids were home all day. I got to go shop and to lunch with Ashley before she headed back home!

Royals were in our neighborhood!!

The Royals caravan was at Scheels last week! We got to go get a few autographs and mingle with them! Aside from waiting in line over an hour since they were late, it was fun! And my kids LOVE Scheels, so it was just exciting to be there and get to ride the escalator!

New experiences...

We branched out and went to a Japanese/Sushi place next to our house last week. I really liked it! The kids liked their 'chicken nugget' aka chicken tempura....but that was about it. So we went home and had turkey sandwiches. Paul was gone in KC for work, so it was a fun outing while he was out of town...and we had a Groupon to use! :)

Madison's 4th Birthday

iPad love

This is what these kids would do 98% of the time if they were allowed to...especially Brynlee! She calls it 'my pad' and she believes with her whole heart that it is hers and hers alone. I am amazed that she knows exactly what to do on all the apps and exactly what she wants on each one. They actually play really well together on it too, occasional fighting over it, but not much! It's great most of the time, although I do hide it some so they can't have access to it. And it is a great punishment for Grady when he has had a timeout during the day he is not allowed to watch tv or play the iPad.

Battle wounds...
