Deanna Rose Farmland

Loves Sonic slushies just like his mommy:)
H loves spending time with his grandparents.

Cute toes!!!

Enjoying the little river

What a face:)

JOHN DEERE-he loved sitting on it and watching the other children ride around.

Not too sure about the non green tractor.

Watching a cow get milked.

So strong:)

Hello pig!!

After we picked up my dad from the airport and had lunch we headed out to Deanna Rose Farmland to check out the animals. We had a great time and will have to go back again. They have areas where you can pet goats and feed baby goats, fishing pond, pony rides, tractor riding area, a barn where they milk cows, two playgrounds, and lots of old looking buildings!!! I love seeing Harrison when he experiences something new and the expressions/sounds he makes!!!

Lock up you Daughters:)

Harrison with his girlfriend Emilie:) She wasn't so thrilled about all of the kisses, but Harrison gave her at least 5:)

Summer

4th of July

It's getting harder and harder to get a good pic of our boys.
Yep he needs a JEEP-we spent a lot of the night following him to the jeep. He loved it!!!

Harrison with my cousin's kiddos-can you tell the bigger kids were lighting fire crackers-It didn't seem to bother Harrison.

Trying to get a pic of their cute flag shirts-thank you Grandma DuBois for making them for us-you are so talented with a sewing machine!!!

Driving!! We had a great time at my Uncle Gary's house with family...It will be nice though when Harrison is more independent and I don't have to chase after him every second of the day-Let's just say he enjoyed running in the trees and looking to see if anyone was following him:) Craig and I were worn out by the time we left. The kid has so much energy it is crazy.

Aunt Brie in KC

Brie's B-day gift this year from us was to come and spend time in KC. I think overall she had a good time and was excited to get to know Harrison so much better. We went walking at Smithville Lake, to the Kansas City Zoo, Craig and her went to World's of Fun, out to eat, and SHOPPING. Brie we had a great time with you and hope you enjoyed your trip in KC.

On the way to KC from Wichita...Brie got a warm welcome from Harrison-he was screaming probably half of the way home-Let's just say he had enough of car rides for a while-about 11 hours of driving in less than a week-not fun for a toddler:(

Weekend in Wichita to meet our newest family member!!

Our niece, Lily, was born June 17th. We were able to visit Wichita and spend some quality time with Craig's family and of course snuggle with Lily.

Big brother Owen checking on his little sis.
Harrison explaining to Grandpa Dieker how to clean up the floor after a toddler eats.

This one is for all of Grandpa Vaught's co-workers:)

We had a great time in Wichita and seeing all of the fam:)

Long time coming...

So we finally went on our first vacation since my maternity leave that ended June 17, 2008...so over a year later we spent the week at the Lake of the Ozarks at my great grandparents cabin!!!

We spent one morning at Ha Ha Tonka State Park hiking and taking in the beautiful scenary around us. This castle was started in the early 1900's being built by Spanish Masons. Then burnt down around 40 years later-the remains are so neat and it was a huge castle.

We went under a natural bridge and hiked through a large sink hole.

Harrison in his hiking backpack-Thank you Madison family for the hand me down backpack-we got so much use out of it!!!

The view of the Lake from the castle-AMAZING!!!

The view of the natural spring from the castle...that we later hiked around.

Our family at the castle.

Harrison really liked looking inside the castle even though it was just overgrown with the outer wall remaining and a few inner walls.

Wow what a day we had:)

Harrison loved being in the water and didn't mind putting on his life jacket or sitting in his turtle as long as he was entertained the entire time. Yes, I have on my life jacket...I was the only one out in the water with Harrison and wanted to be super safe!!!

Taking a bath in the large kitchen sink!!!

The water was wonderful and Harrison loved being on the jet ski-Thank you G and G Vaught!!! He even fell asleep most trips!! We went out every morning around 7am and enjoyed having the water to ourselves-lets just say it gets a little rough in the evenings-luckily on the week days there isn't much traffic and we could enjoy going slower and not have to worry about the waves!!!

Our cutie!!! Loves to pretend to drive the jetski.

Ready to go to the water!!!

Trying to entertain H while daddy is off trying to figure out why the a/c wasn't working...let's just say the heat index was 105 to 108 that week and no a/c = unhappy family.

He loves water bottles!!!

Overall we had a wonderful week and great family time-much needed!!! We got the yard and the cabin cleaned up-with H in the back pack-while still having a lot of time to spend in the water, outlet shopping, and ski balling!!! I have so many great memories of time at the lake with my family and look forward to creating new memories with H and our future kids!!!
