4th of July

Kurt left today for Oklahoma City for the month of July so I'm on a mission to find things to do to occupy 100% of my time so I don't think about how much I miss him, so #1 on the list, update the blog!

It was extremely hot so we did the best we could to stay cool!

We had a fun filled 4th with fireworks Friday night and a parade and bbq with friends on Saturday. The parade was pretty much a dud, but at least they came out of it with alot of candy!

Somehow McKartny managed to get 2 suckers unwrapped, one for each hand, that was quite the sticky mess to clean up!

When I took out her hair that night she had the cutest afro ever, hairstyle in the future? We'll see!

Summer so far

So . . . summer is FINALLY here and we are enjoying every minute of it, despite the above and below pictures. We had a really big storm that came through with alot of rain and wind, we happened to be out driving and came home to this! A humongous tree got blown over in our backyard, it was about 5 feet away from hitting the house and luckily enough on the other side so it didn't completely crush the trampoline! We of course had to take pictures, how often does this happen?

Playin dress up in my shoes, always a popular past-time!
Our newest "thing" is wing night. Kurt has all of the sudden gone on a spicy kick so we went up to West Side Market and bought a big bag of chicken wings and Kurt talked to a guy at Buffalo Wild Wings and found out how to cook the things then we got some wayyyyyy good sauce and started to expirement! I must say, I think they are better Buffalo Wild Wings, and McKartny downed more than me!

We spend the majority of our time outside and Kylan spends 90% of that time on her bike, I think we're gonna be taking the training wheels off soon!


And of course it wouldn't be summer without lots of bumps and bruises, Kylan has a few to show off!

Thomas the Train

We got tickets this year for Thomas the Train and the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. To say Kylan was excited is an understatement, she asked about it CONSTANTLY and counted down the hours until we got to ride on Thomas. It definitely was not a disappointment and she and McKartny both enjoyed every minute of it!

Getting ready to start our train ride!

The scenery was beautiful and they both stared out the window most of the time.

There was a tent with several train tables set up for the kids to play on, they could've stayed there all day if we'd let them!
