Leah Playdate

Leah came to Des Moines with her Mom on a business trip to have a play date with Aunt Erin.  You can never be too safe eating lunch at my house!

 

These two had a great time playing before Emery had to head to school.

After we dropped Emery off at school, we headed to Parker's school to join him for recess.

 

Leah had a great time playing with him as well!

After recess, we decided that we should head to another park and play around.

 

We had an awesome afternoon together!  I glad she wanted to come spend some time with me.

Pokemon Hunting

Running around the high wall.  Heights do not scare us....

We headed to the Papa John Sculpture Park this morning to hunt for Pokemon!

Look at all of these letters!

Photo Shoot

Getting family photos taken this morning was so much work!

 

Oh wait, Mom decided to take a few more in Perry before getting some lunch.

Haircut

Parker has been growing his hair out and I finally took him in for an actual hair cut.  He's thrilled with his new 'do'.

Happy Birthday, Emery

I joined Emery at school for his birthday!

He got to sit on the big stool for his birthday.

It was a lot of fun to watch his class practice shaking hands.

We headed to Sky Zone after school for some jumping time.

Emery made his cake!

His brothers had no problems helping him devour his cake!  Happy 5th birthday, Mr. Emery.

Fugitives

 

These children are wanted for reading banned books!
