more memorial weekend pics

You and daddy traveled to Sherman County Dam to visit the Dorsey side of the fam. You visited with your great grandma D, great aunt and uncle, second & third cousins. From the looks of it you had a great time. And of course your grandma Dorsey always loves to have you around. You will soon learn that she's one of your best playmates. Here are some pics from the weekend:

the many faces of you sportin your cool new hat:)

I recently purchased this hat from etsy.com, one of my favorite shopping websites. I must say you look stylin in your new look and you don't even mind sportin it. You like to swirl your hair when you are tired or when you are eating from your bottle, so this makes it a bit difficult to do. Each day I am amazed at your beauty, your growth, and your little personality. We love you to the moon and back infinity times and are blessed to have you as our child.
Here are the many faces of you:

Beantown (aka Boston:)

Some co-workers and I headed to the National Child Life Conference in Boston Memorial Day weekend. Pete and I presented on Saturday about sleep problems, sleep studies, and our role as Child Life Specialists in the sleep lab. We had a great trip and we were able to see some of Boston on our downtime. I only captured a few pictures and rest I will post later when they are given to me. Some highlights include going to Cheers, the Boston Commons, the subway, eating lobster, and having cocktails with friends:) We left Thursday and returned Sunday night. This was my longest time away from you. I missed you like crazy and was sooo excited to see you on Monday. While I was in Boston, you were visiting family in Nebraska with daddy.

Memorial Day Fun with daddy

Deanna Rose Farmstead

We had a family outing last Saturday to Deanna Rose Farmstead in Overland Park, KS. What an amazing concept. It's free admissions with a land full of hands on activities for kiddos. There are butterfly gardens, food gardens, petting and feeding the goats, fishing on a lake (you rent the pools and this cute little lake is stocked with fish...kids were pulling out fish left and right), horse back riding, a theater, bobcats, eagles, birds, playgrounds, hayrack ride, tee-pees, and more. Apparently Deanna Rose was a police officer who died (not sure how) and her family put together this project and with the help of the city made it all possible. I can't get over how cool it is and that it is free. (you donate money if you can when you enter). Anyhow, it was such a fun outing for us. You love being out and about observing the world. Here are some photos from the day.









p.s. We love Deanna Rose so much we are heading there in a little bit to hang out with Brennan on his first birthday today:) Also, FYI, our camera your dad got me for my birthday a year ago was stolen at momma's work:( therefore we are now working with old funky cameras that take not so hot pictures and some of the pictures have dates from 2004...it's 2009 baby!
