Brad-We miss you like crazy!

Brad has been gone for a week. He is cutting corn mazes with his brother.  Right now he is living it up in Chicago. :)  I miss him SO MUCH.  Talking on the phone is just not enough, I need him here to hang out with. Our little girls are so attached to their dad, it is hard for them too.  

Livi told us this morning that

 she is going to marry him 

when he gets home.  We will all be VERY excited to see him!!! 

 So, Brad we are sending you a big hug and a kiss from Kansas!  We tried our best to take some pictures in our Mac photo booth today.  Ha! Don't you love them? :) We love you.  See you soon.

Visiting the Kansas History Museum

This summer the girls and I have been reading from the "The Little House Collection". I have such fond childhood memories of the Ingalls fam, I thought it would be fun to read the books with my kids. We have been loving it! Since we have been learning about history, we decided to take a little field trip to our local museum. We have been there a number of times, but this time the girls had a lot more interest. It was so cute to watch them play. We learned some pioneer games and they performed an adorable puppet show. I loved it. :)

Governor's Cup

Brad and I just signed up for the Governor's Cup 10k.  The race is scheduled for July 18th at 7:00 a.m.  Does anyone want to join us?  (Josh , Joni?)  My running partners are all out of town or very pregnant. :)  I am used to running to music or having someone to run (chat) with.  Music is not allowed in the race and Brad will be leaving me in the dust (he says that he won't, but he is a lot faster than me).  So, if you will be here on July 18th -please come and join the fun.   

Date with dad

Our girls absolutely adore Brad!!  They look forward to their "daddy-daughter date" each week.  The minute that the date is over they start planning the next one.  Brad has given them the option of going individually, but they insist on going together.  I think it is really cute.  This week the plan was to wear a hat (Addie's idea),  go to Sonic, and ride ponies at the park.  They had so much fun!!

Fun in the sun

The girls and I have been spending our afternoons at the pool.  We LOVE having a swimming pool right outside our front door.  Yesterday, Brad and some of our friends came to join us.   When Brad is at the pool, he has his hands full!  The girls all want to swim right on top of him.  It is nice to have him there, it gives me a chance to lay out for a while. :)
