Mimi and Papa's Visit

Mimi and Papa got in on Friday and Saturday we went to get supplies so Kinsey could have a little garden. Sunday was a trip to the Columbus "uptown" River walk and more time at "play park"! Here are pictures from the weekend...

She loved the gloves so much she didn't want to take them off!

Getting the dirt ready for her plants...



Putting in all her seeds...

Watering her plants...

Need more water....


Going for a ride to "play park" in her new wagon...

Cheese :)

She loves the slide!

On the way back home...
"Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same...There’s a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one...And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same" -Weeds theme song :)

At the beginning of the River walk

There are tons of turtles sunning in the Chattahoochee River...I'll resist inserting the Alan Jackson lyrics this time...

More cheesin'



With Papa on the River walk....

Visiting Missouri on Leave

This past weekend was Kyle's high school annual alumni tournament. Kyle hadn't played in it since the year before he deployed and this was the first year that he, Cory, and Neil would be playing against each other. It was fun to watch the tournament and great to see Kinsey play with everyone, here are some pictures from the weekend.

Playing on the swings with Aunt Savannah





It didn't take Kyle long to get to work

All three brothers and baby Dillon watching Stacey's first game...

Tip off at Neil and Kyle's game...

Feeding the cows with Great-Grandpa while there was a break in the games...

Watching Daddy help Neil's friend put an engine in his truck...
On the swings again...


Kyle's team won the men's championship and Aunt Stacey's team won the women's!

Grandpa and Grandma gave Kinsey and Kaden a singing and dancing Easter bunny and they loved it! Sadly, Kinsey's bunny has come down with a case of missing batteries ;)

Trying on Aunt Savannah's play wings...

She was roaring and being a "dragonfly"

Coloring with Uncle Neil and Aunt Savannah before we left Maysville

Kinsey got to hold baby Dillon at Uncle Cory and Aunt Stacey's house

She loves these cars!

Such a cutie!!

Getting things put together

We got to the new house Monday night and started getting things unpacked on Tuesday. We have a few rooms almost done and lots to still unpack, organize and things to hang on the walls. Here are some pictures of the house so far...

First dinner at the new house and on the new kitchen table


The family room

Kitchen and breakfast nook...


There's only one phone jack in the whole house so we have a temporary computer
area set up in the kitchen and hopefully can get wireless working for the rest of the house.
