Relaxing Weekend!

Uhhh... I can't believe the weekend is over! I wish we could have just ONE MORE DAY! We had a nice relaxing weekend at home! Yesterday I stayed home with the kids while Brandon worked and today we went to Target, Michaels, Game Day IOWA and the farmers market! We love fresh veggies and sweet corn. Here are some pictures from our weekend!!



Parker LOVES peas! I think he ate a whole can by himself this weekend!



Parker put the shopping cart on the table- he just loves climbing on things!Hasn't anyone told this girl it is 100 Degrees outside? I don't think long sleeves and leggings are necessary?




Parker stole Brandon's hammer and measuring tape when he was hanging his name letters on the wall.



Lately Parker has LOVED all of Kennedy's toys- her dolls, her pom poms and her chairs. They fight over everything!








Kennedy is so good with Parker. Here she is letting him "hang" out in her room.




Just a couple more cute pics!

Busy Day!!!!

Kennedy and Parker taking a ride in the wagon!!!

You can usually find Parker sweeping my floors, dusting my furniture and his latest is vacuuming the coffee table and our bed!!!! Parker is into climbing on absolutely everything!!!


Well we had an eventful day today!!! Brandon took K to the Eye Dr. with him for an appt and then I met them there expecting to help Brandon pick out glasses and when I arrived the Dr to said I needed to pick out some glasses for my little angel....which completely took me by surprise!! I was just getting her a check up because it was required by her Kindergarten....I never expected for them to say she was farsighted and would need glasses. My nephew "Gus" got glasses a few months ago- it seems crazy that they both are farsighted and have similar prescriptions! Kennedy's is +3.75 and +3.75!!! Well we get them in a week!!! I hope the transition goes well!!! She also had her 5 yr check up today!! She did great!!! 95th percentile for weight and 60th for height!!!!

Kennedy turned "5" on June 1st! She is so excited to go to Kindergarten this Fall!!! Parker is so much fun he talks all the time of course I can't understand what he is saying but it is so cute!! He has also developed a huge temper!!!! If things don't go his way he throws himself on the ground kicking and screaming- I could of swore Kennedy didn't start that till she was 2/3 but oh well!!!
