Last bball game of the season and more

Last game of the season


Connor and Kohen - cousins
Awards ceremony and team pizza party
Coach even gave them all $5 for playing hard.  Very generous and he was a great coach to the kids! 
Coach Sue said Kohen was the defensive man of the year!
After the pizza party tooth #6 bit the dust! 
Very rare moment where all three kids are sitting and are all calm at the same time!


Still loves this same reading spot that she loved as a baby
Goofers!
She ♥'s gymnastics!
I slipped this nightgown on Korinne.  She looked down and saw Yo Gabba Gabba. The 2nd pic she is pointing and excitedly saying "Babba". By the 3rd pic she was singing and dancing very excitedly because she was wearing "Babba".  It's a true obsession with this one!  The other two liked Gabba a lot but not quite like this! 
Sleepy little girl!  She has not been feeling so well this week so I have captured a lot of very sleepy pics.  Though, I hate to see her not feeling well, she just looks so sweet!

A little posing after gymnastics.  She wanted to show off her new sparkly boots!
Wednesday was supposed to be dress as your favorite musician day at school.  He decided Rock and Roll is his favorite type of music so he wanted to be a rock and roller ... he decided against the wig and went with his own hair! 
Dr. Suess day at each of their schools
Korinne is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba!  She climbs on the couch, grabs the remote and says, "Babba, Babba" ... or goes to the computer and says the same.  She has a very serious addiction to this show!
Being silly and trying on some snow boots!
Karlee was helping me make a smoothie and she said, "Mommy, all of your adult girlfriends are going to love this smoothie.  Not little girls, though."  Guess it tasted too healthy for her liking!
Please don't mind the blood in the first picture.  I know it is not a pretty site! But tooth #5 bites the dust.  Another loose one on the top that should be ready to come out any day
Sweet, sweet baby girl ...

A little bit of everything

Some more Valentine's Day fun!
More basketball.  Kohen has been improving each week.  Getting faster at taking the shot, playing some great defense, etc.

Kohen decided he wanted to draw each Ninja Turtle so he could hang them downstairs by his sewer play set. 
I was very impressed with his drawings.  He is really becoming quite the artist!
Karlee loves to pose - most of the time!
This little girl keeps trying to trick us.  She really wants to be like her brother and sister and doesn't like to wear her diaper.  She always wants to attempt to sit on the potty but nothing really ever happens!!
Silly girl!
Karlee loves gymnastics.  She has been going since August and will get to be in a recital in May.  She can hardly wait!
Kohen's snowman that he made with Pa.
Very good helpers!  They love to wash the windows - and the toys, and the walls and the floors ...  anything they can spray, they like to wash!
She is constantly standing at the bathroom door when someone is in there and saying, "knock, knock", while knocking on the door.

She was granting me my wishes.  Later that day I am pretty sure I was told I was not getting my wishes granted anymore because I was not a nice mommy and I needed to go to Jupiter!  Ah, the ups and downs in the life of a 3-year-old!
Wrestling match - not really sure who is winning.  I think the girls have him!
Kohen's school had a glow in the dark skate party.  This was his first time roller skating.  He really had a good time.  He wasn't the best skater but he had fun!

Kohen has been dying to go bowling.  He had a great time!
This was a group effort to help Karlee get her ball down

Resting on the bowling chairs.  It is hard work!
A couple pics from Wine about Winter, a wine walk/tasting that took place in downtown Liberty. The lower right is from one of Mark's friend's birthday celebration ... the girls from the celebration, at least.

Wedding, Beach, Snow - Oh, My!

From snowy KC to snowy St. Louis
We got delayed in St. Louis. We were there for 7 hours ... it was spent drinking/eating in the Budweiser restaurant. We did get $200 each worth of credit to Southwest. That made the 7 hours worth it!
The view from our room at the Omni hotel in Champions Gate (Orlando) - where the wedding was. The pool was huge .... too bad we didn't get to put it to use!
Ready for the rehearsal dinner
The Bridesmaids, minus Kaitlyn and Kelsey (they had already gone nighty-night!)
Almost time for the wedding!

They had a photo booth - pretty sure we spent a good portion of our time in there!  The second one from the left has a blank on the first pic because Mark somehow managed to unplug the machine during our shots.
The happy couple
Keith, me, Melissa
Ryan, Brian, Mark
Clearwater Uncorked - it was a wine, food and beer festival. We had a lot of fun.  It puts the wine and beer festivals here in KC to shame!
More pics from Clearwater Uncorked
We had some awesome views from our room and the hotel.  Here are a few.
Some treasure found for the kids
Treasure Island - Madeira Beach

We got some great shells to bring home to the kids.  I even found four that had some sort of sea slug living inside.  They lasted all the way home on the plane so the kids got to "meet" them. They were nasty and smelled nasty too!
Great views from the plane on our way out of Tampa
Pic from the snow storm that occurred before our trip to FL.  Yes, we were happy to go to warmer weather!
Dying to go outside and play in the snow


Worn out!
Korinne has now figured out how to climb up in the tall kitchen chairs all by herself.  She is growing up way too fast!
Valentine's Day fun.  Kohen and Karlee both had parties in their classes.  They came home with tons of Valentine's Day loot!  The three pics on the top right are from this morning.  Happy one moment - very unhappy the next.  Not sure how it all went so drastically wrong in a matter of seconds but that is how it goes, I guess! I'm also not sure why Kohen and Korinne look like they are riding a roller coaster but at least they are smiling!
