A Quick Kansas Trip

Our trip in pictures.

Wichita Bound

After just under 2000 miles and 9 crazy fun filled days in Kansas this is how I felt.

I love being in Wichita! It feels so right to be there. Guess I am still homesick!

Talli is back in Wichita we I got to help her finish moving into her apartment. My Mom met us in Wichita and below is some of the fun we had.....

The last morning together.

2 of my favorite people in the entire world

Talli with her monkeys

Mom in all her glory

We took over McDonald's with the Suttons and Mugglins

Love me some Angela and Tina

A quick breakfast at Ihop before MiMi's flight

Talli looking wonderful. If you have not seen Tal in a while you would not recognize her. She is amazing!

My Mama

Yep 9 kids and 1 teenager in Talli's tiny apartment. Thanks Heather for all your help!!!

A quick trip to Hutchinson

Feathers all around for the girls....thanks Heather!

Orange Leaf with my favorite kids and neighborhood boys

I seriously miss Trenten and Trever. I hope they will be friends forever.

Trever is Jake's hero

Rides with Grandpa

A super fun Grandpa

Brett counting Grandpa's money

Jake trying to get Grandpa's money out of the jar

Dropped by the Merrimans in our pajamas and got to catch up with my amazing friend Rebecca.

My Dad-e-o

Another visit has come and gone.....

His visits are never long but the kids always know what to expect and so do I....

Lots of laughter and a few tears when Grandpa wins the war! The boys are already planning their attact for the next visit and Brylee is still waiting and wants her Grandpa to come back over tonight.

A Super Fun Grandpa

who will sit and play with his grandchildren in their bedrooms

who will have nerf gun fights until someone is shot in the eye

who will wrestle with them until there is tears
who always brings over a super good lunch

who lives only a couple hours away that we do not see enough

Miss you Dad and Elizabeth!!

My Mom and Dad

This is my Mom she will talk on the phone with them all day and when she is here to visit she makes each of her grandchildren feel they are the most loved and important kids in the world and when she is not here the kids are planning on how and when they can go visit MiMi :)
This is my Dad he will sit in the kids room for hours and listen to them talk non-stop and wrestle with them until they are all crying. When they know Grandpa is coming they wait by the window for hours :)

they are amazing Parents and Grandparents

Fun with Ryan and Dad

Every couple of years Ryan graces us with his presence. He has a beautiful girlfriend I got to meet for the first time. How cute are they? Within 30 minutes he had the boys ducked tape together. Uncle Ryan is the coolest!

Thanks to Dad and Elizabeth for dragging them down :)

Thanks Dad!

Thanks Dad for the card and the generous check! Brylee has taken the card over. She is certain that you have made a mistake sending it to me. Can you believe you have a daughter that is 30?

Thanksgiving Part II

Yep, Talli knows how to cook, sitting down!

Dad and Elizabeth come for part II.



I know how gross looking, but it really is the best bread pudding ever and if you eat too much you may have a heart attack.

Even Brylee likes it.

The boys must wrestle with their Grandpa.



Dad took the kids shopping for Christmas and their birhdays. Brett picked out a huge lego set, Jacob picked transformers and a bionicle set and Brylee adopted a big dog who she named "Drew." Lucky kiddos.
Thank you for coming!
