The Old Swimming Hole

The boys enjoyed Lake Olathe Creek and Spray Ground.

 

How Many Will Fit?

 

Tight but all the cousins fit in the splash pad at once. And then the aftermath – warming in the sun.

 

Christmas Jammies

We give them out this weekend so they have plenty of wear before Christmas.
 

Personal Reading Time

Colin and Pops were having some personal reading time. I enjoyed a bevy of boys in my space.

 

Birthday Celebrations

We celebrated Stacy's and Matt's birthdays. Then Pops got a pile of grandkids, although Vala had reservations about joining the melee.

 

Finn Is 5

We celebrated Finn's birthday but he won't actually be 5 until this weekend, when he will be back in Milwaukee.
 

Wrangling the Kiddos for Father's Day

We got everyone in the picture but couldn't quite get them all looking at the camera.
 

My Greatest Gifts

For my birthday, Stacy and Hayden hosted a wonderful family dinner. I was surrounded by these treasures.
 

The Brothers Kern

A rare photo of Adam and Finn together, standing still.

 

Halloween Delight

Not everyone was enthusiastic about getting into costume but the two who did were cute enough to make up for the rest.

Below, sorting the treasure from their Halloween treasure hunt, thanks to Hayden.

 

Grandkids Galore

It was fun to have the whole gang together again. And they were all looking in the general direction of the camera.
 

Finn Is 3

We celebrated Finn's birthday, although he's not officially 3 until Friday. He was happy to share the festivities with cousin and brother.

 

Father's Day Smiles

We had a raucous Father's Day celebration with all the kids. Getting them to all look at the same time was a challenge.

Kids in the House

Lowell invited the boys in to her new playhouse.

The Gammy Squad

Great fun with the kids at Lowell's birthday party.

Party Time!

Adam celebrated his 1st birthday with friends and family.

Herding Cats

This keeps happening when I attempt to get a photo of all the grandkids and me. Somebody gets distracted.

Captured!

I managed to hold on to all of them while Stacy took the picture.

Pumpkin Patch

A little cool, a little windy, a little muddy but the juniors didn't mind at all.

Serious Business

These two got very serious when I said I needed a nursery illustration, and then started dancing around after I took it.
