Farms, parties and soccer!!!!

There is a little south of our house called Deanna Rose. It is so stinkin cute and we finally were able to make it down there! It was perfect weather and we had a blast! They have animals, old fashioned stores and saloons, and so much more!!

Carter found the old school and practiced writing his name on the blackboard!

We went and visited the cows and practiced milking! 

Chase loves milking!

Then we went to the Indian camp. We looked at all the old relics and listened to them tell an Indian story! 

Then we got to feed the goats... I made the mistake of taking the boys inside instead of feeding them from the fence...

Cause these things were CRAZY!!! They jumped all over Chase and needless to say he did not like the goats... And I didn't really either!

We fed the ducks on the pond...

Then we went and explored all the stores.. the barber shop, the blacksmith, the grocery store. Then we went and saw a lot more animals! The kids played at the playground and then we had a picnic. It was so fun and we will definitely be going back!

We got invited to our friend Jack's birthday at the cutest painting studio. They let the kids get all messy and explore painting, and the parents got to watch from the window! Carter LOVES to paint so he had a great time!! Here he is throwing paint all the wall!

The little painters!

And soccer started again. This season Carter got to play with some friends from preschool, and he loved it! 

Colt, Aiden and Carter...

Let the games begin!

Play time!

Nathan had even more days off.... We could definitely get used to this!!! So we decided to take the boys to the Bass Pro Shop. They had some fun activities for kids planned for the weekend so we went and checked it out.

Fishing for duckies!!

A little treasure hunt!

Some casting lessons...

And a little coloring! 

And of course they wanted their faces painted!

It was fun! And so so nice to have Nathan there!!

There was a little farm not too far from our house that was having a little carnival type thing, so on another of Nathan's days off we checked it out!
Chase really really liked milking the cow :)

They had a little petting zoo...

Chase wasn't too sure about the large pig...

They got to make some playdough...

And they got some swords...

It was a good day :)

Preschool!!!!

       This little man went back to preschool at the end of August. He LOVES LOVES LOVES school    and was so excited to go back. Chase and I miss him when he is gone! Chase always wants to "go                                     get Carter at school." I can't believe the summer went so fast!!!

Nathan actually had the day off so he got to go with us! Carter was sooooo happy that daddy was there!!!

Carter and his best buddy Davido... They aren't in the same class this year, Carter was sad about that. But he has some friends from last year in his class so that made him feel a little better!

Carter and his teacher Ms. Mary...

His new seat!

This kid would go to school every day all day long. I hope that's the same case when he is in high school :)

That night we went out to celebrate with the Bunnell's at Red Robin. Carter got himself a dragon balloon. Love this boy! 

Water parties and dates...

In August, our friends had a water party at their house, complete with a water bed! It was a lot of fun and a great way enjoy the rest of the summer!

Carter laying on the water bed...

The huge slip and slide...

Needless to say the boys had an amazing time!!

Poor Chase took a header on the cement and got this beauty...

Nothing that some kisses won't cure!

Carter and I went to a baptism and had to stop at McDonalds for a little treat afterwards... I love these moments with my boys!

For Father's Day I bought Nathan tickets to a Sporting KC game in August, so we got to go!

Our tickets were awesome and it was so neat to be in that stadium! The crowd was loud and crazy, as it should be in soccer!

I always love when we get to spend some time together! It doesn't happen much in med school but I will take it when I get it!!!
