Fathers Day

Chris got some great photos of the kids for fathers day. We put them in a frame so he can have some updated photos at work--- he didn't have much, but that is the way Chris likes it-- plain and simple. Three pictures did not put him over the edge, thankfully...

Bathtime, park visits and ballet class

Pictures are way easier than writing.... not to mention it saves me lots of time!

Kylie and Anika

Anika not sure she wants to share the bath with both her sisters....

Duck, duck, duck....

Missouri

The Barr family came to visit us a couple weekend agos... Great to see Darin and meet his family. Hopefully we'll get to Coumbia at some point to visit them and see the good old places in town!

Kylie, me, Darin and Ethan (the other kids where with Chris and Nikki)...

Milwaukee Zoo

Friday, we stole Chris away from work for the day so he could go to the zoo with us. We met up with Sarah, a good friend from high school, and she walked around with us. Her aunt and uncle happen to volunteer at the zoo too, so they came and gave more background on the animals. It was pretty cool.

The best part of the day, besides meeting up with a good friend, was the giraffes. Kylie and Chris got to actually feed the giraffes. Apparently Kylie was not nervous at all, she just did not want the giraffe to touch her hand.

Kylie waiting..... "I'm soooo excited!"

Botanic Gardens

Our adventure of Memorial Day weekend took us to Botanic Gardens. Pictures are below.... and poor Shay, she lost her ever so favorite sippy cup. (picture below)....

I do exist, just normally the one taking photos.

Part of the railroad gardens--- truly everyone's favorite

Kylie standing by her favorite--- YELLOW flowers.

Fields of poppies-- another favorite by the kids.

More poppies

Another fabulous hanging basket done by Chris.... :)

Just Kylie

Kylie had her last day of school last week (been slacking on the blog). The classes had a massive picnic with all the kids, families, etc. It was a good time and Kylie enjoyed it because it was just her-- no sisters. They are "too baby" to come to school still.

Didn't get too many pictures because I forgot, but these should be enough to hold you people over until we unload the camera again.
