A little craft time...

Both of my kids love doing crafts.

They're both great about sitting at the table and coloring or cutting or gluing.

Today we are painting... a little Fourth of July craft. :)

this and that...

I will call this post THIS AND THAT...because it is a little bit of this, and a little bit of that! :)

At Adventure Bay...exploring the water park!





Keatin's t-ball season is over...and they had a little closing ceremony last week. She got a medal...and so did everyone else. :) Her favorite part of the ceremony was the cookies and lemonade. :)








Last Saturday, my dad and I did an event called Biking Bondu...a 50 mile bike ride on a trail from Bondurant to Baxter and back. Although that may not sound like fun, it was. :) And I really wasn't too sore...besides my backside. :)


Eating lunch with daddy one day downtown...

This was today at Adventureland...Will typically just watches Keatin on rides...just more of an observer. But apparently today was his day! I don't quite know why, but he decided to ride a whole bunch of rides...even ones I thought he wouldn't do in a million years! Crazy!


And yesterday at the park, Keatin was determined to do this...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Animal safe haven

Apparently my house is a safe haven for animals...or should I say reptiles.

I came home from work one day and there was a frog on my front door.

Today, this guy appeared by my front step. Thankfully he was discovered by my neighbor boy & not me!

Happy Hump Day...

...love Megan, Keatin, & Will. :)


[father's day]

We had a wonderful Father's Day at the Barber residence!

It started by Josh washing his motorcycle and our vehicles...he kept telling me this is what he wanted to do, so I went with it. Of course, K & W had to go out to "help"...which basically turned into a day-long water event with our neighbors! It was beautiful weather on Sunday...Josh and our neighbor Ron thought they had some pretty stupendous ideas about how to make our slip-n-slide really cool. See photos below...Josh might as well be yelling: HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ME! WEE! (Hahahaha) :) We hung out outside all morning, took the kids inside for nap, I went for a bike ride, Josh went to lift weights, the kids woke up...and we played outside the rest of the night until supper/bath time! But as we went to bed that night, Josh told me thanks for a great day...so, yay for a successful Father's Day. :) We L-O-V-E our daddy!

adventureland

After some convincing from neighbors and friends, the kids and I purchased season passes to Adventureland...and today was our 1st adventure there! Ha! We met one of my co-workers there and his 2 little ones...and it was perfect, because he knew just where to go...so he was like my tour guide. :) There is also a WONDERFUL water park there...we just took a look today (didn't bring our suits), but we will CERTAINLY be going back to swim sometime soon! It was a great morning...Keatin loved everything...Will was more observant, but we did get him on a few rides. Thanks to TJ, Greta, and Calvin for showing us around!

singing and dancing

Singing and dancing, singing and dancing...we sing and dance a lot!

Below are 2 videos from Keatin's last day of bible school. All the parents were invited to attend a little "performance" at the end. I couldn't sit very close...Keatin is on the far right.



And I am not sure Will is ever going to stop loving Gangnam Style!


Breakfast for daddy


Everyone is asleep at this house. Except for me and will. So he decided to help me make breakfast for daddy. Happy Father's Day daddy!
