Birthday, Pigs and More!

 We headed out to Gunner's birthday party today.  It was a hot one but the kids had fun!

The birthday boy (Gunner) and Korinne

She loved being squirted.  She followed him around saying, "spay me, spay me!"

Sitting on this ball didn't work out so well for Korinne as you can see below.

I stumbled across an article that shared all kinds of great hidden gems in Kansas City.  Pigwich, which is attached to the Local Pig (meat shop) was listed as one of the best lunch spots in KC.  They said they have the best burgers around.  I told Mark we need to start uncovering all of the things the city has to offer and find some new places to explore.  We were not so impressed with Pigwich BUT still happy we tried something new and got out and saw some things the city has to offer

There were too many people standing in front of this place while we were there (they must've been duped by the same article!) So, I snatched this pic from the website that listed the top lunch places.  I really have heard some good feedback about this place besides from that website so maybe it was just an "off" day for them!

Picture of the sign in front of the meat shop

She tested out the chips, which were really pretty good!

I felt like this was a good picture to share the feeling of our whole group regarding the rest of the food!

You can live in KC for many, many years and still not see everything.  Apparently, this is a logo for either a trucking company or a fuel company ... either way, thought it was interesting and had to snap a pic.

Karlee said her barbie was getting her hair done. We had to leave her like this so she could look beautiful

Korinne loves her new big girl bed!  She is getting way too big, way too fast!

First Day of Summer School, Father's Day, Sporting KC and More!

First day of summer school.  Karlee HAD to have the "Elsa braid" for her first day back!

Korinne has made the move to the "big girl" bed.  So, they had to do story time in her bed.

Again with the Elsa braid - it is a necessity after every bath .... and most other times of the day, too!

These kids love Pa's truck!

Cool sun "rains" (as Kohen calls them)

Baby girl, getting SO big!

Date Night - Dinner and a movie.  Applebee's has really stepped up their game - they let you order appetizers and drinks right from an electronic pad on your table.  You can call the waitress and pay for your bill right there too.  They even calculate the tip so you don't have to do the math!

Always trying to pull that ponytail out!

Karlee has a friend that she has been going to school with since she was 2.  She is moving to Minnesota but the good thing is, where they are moving is on our way to where we make our annual trip.  There are already plans in the works to make visits!  They had a little going away party for her over the weekend. 

Father's day weekend was a packed weekend for us.  This girl was beat!

Apparently, so were these two!

Happy Father's Day!

She loves the water!

Jumpy, jump, jump, jump, jump; Jumpy, jump, jump, jump, jump, JUMP.  Most of you probably don't know but that goes to the tune of one of Korinne's favorite Gabba songs.  It is very fitting for the amount of jumping we did that day!

All that jumping and swimming will wear a girl out, though! 

Surfin USA

Sometimes you just have to throw a fit .... even when you are swimming!

Cookie cake for Father's Day

Taking a little break

The picture doesn't really show but she was dancing up a storm!

 Volleyball time!

Karaoke - We met up with a few families of Karlee's friends for Karaoke night.  The kids all went up and sang "Let It Go" from Frozen.  They did a great job and had a blast!

Ready for the Sporting KC game.  We went to meet up with the Henry Wurst crew and Kohen got to go along. Boy, was he excited!

He was a little concerned because when we first arrived there weren't many people there.  He also wondered how he would decide who to cheer for since it was KC vs. Minnesota and really likes Minnesota.  He finally decided to cheer for KC. 

Instead of foam fingers they sell foam Red Card/Yellow Cards.  He had a lot of fun waving his red/yellow cards!

A great time was had - Thanks, Henry Wurst!
