A Picture Post (for Kenny!!)

The kids and I have been visiting family and friends since last Thursday and won't be back home until next Wednesday. Kenny will be in NJ for a conference when we get back, so when we see Kenny next week it will have been 2 weeks since we've seen him last!!! Needless to say, we miss him and I am pretty sure he misses us! Here are some pictures of what we've been up to!

My parents got this little pool and the kids love it! I forgot my swimsuit, but Kennan took care of that little problem!

Don't worry...I got him back!
We met up with Kenny's brother Chris and his girlfriend Katherine. We even shared a yummy dessert!

Brayden and Katherine (Brayden calls her Sasren!)

My birthday was Wednesday so the kids brought me breakfast in bed and I opened my cards and presents. Kennan painted me a little garden gnome and made me some cards. (Please ignore me in this picture...don't you feel sorry for Kenny for what he wakes up to every morning???)

I had a birthday dinner with some high school friends...it's been 10 years since graduation and we've known each other for 16 years!! (Jill, me, Beth and Anna)

The kids and I took a spur of the moment trip to the zoo on Thursday and had a great time! Since I was alone with the kids, picture taking didn't really happen!! Here is tour guide Kennan...

Brayden wanted to give ALL of the animals a hug. Obviously not a good idea, so I convinced her it would be best to wave. Here she is waving at the zebras!

My grandparents invited us over for cake on Thursday night. Here is Brayden and her great-grandma.

My grandfather took the kids out to explore the backyard.

Happy Birthday to me!

I took the kids to the park this morning and we had a great time (until Brayden dirtied her diaper and Kennan stuck his finger in duck poop).

An attempt at a mother/son/daughter picture.

I love these kids!

As you can see, the kids and I are having a blast and keeping pretty busy. We definitely miss Kenny and can't wait to see him next Friday. I think I might need a break by then too!!!
