Can we have a Do-Over?

I was just wondering if we could take today and have a "Do-Over".  First, I got my butt out of the house and drove to Starbucks.  They were closed.  Because of the weather.  Mind you there is a "dusting" of snow, but that is about it right now.  (not to say more snow isn't coming...because it is snowing right now, but give me a break Starbucks people.)  So I thought I would drive a little bit further and see if the other Starbucks was open.  Call it an addiction, I don't care.  Well, guess what.  They were closed too.  Funny because the ICE CREAM shop located one block down the street remained open, but my beloved Starbucks who serves nice warm deliciousness was closed.  I decided to give it up and go to Homeland (grocery) because we all wanted something sweet at the house, and what better way to cure a sweet tooth craving then a cookie-cake.  Well of course, they wouldn't have any cookie-cakes because that is just how my day was going.  And to TOP IT ALL OFF, the freakin' Jayhawks just lost.

How can it be 70 degrees outside right now and the forecast for tomorrow be 8 inches of snow and 35 degrees? 

It was really nice out so we went for a family walk and stopped by the waterfall which is at the entrance of our housing addition.  Frankie had his iphone with him, so we all figured we would start posing for the camera! 

Spring Break

This week Keeley's daycare was closed for Spring Break, so Mommy took the WHOLE week off!  Whoo-hoo:)  We contemplated heading to South Padre to party with the college kids, but I didn't think that would snag me the "Mother of The Year" award, so we decided against it.:)
We started the week off by leaving on Friday and hitching a ride with my parents to Kansas City to see Aunt Nicole, Uncle Mike, Cass and Dylan.  We had lots of fun, but the time always flies by waay too fast.  Uncle Mike built this adorable crib for Keeley's new Biddy Baby and one of my sister's friends made the bedding.  I thought it was soo cute!

Here are a few pics from our trip in KC:

Starbucks Time!

Riding the horses with Cousin Cass at the OakPark Mall

Playing at the Mall some more...Geesh...who needs Disney World when you have the Mall playground and the Burger King playset.  My child enjoys cheap entertainment!

Aunt Nicole reading Keeley a book.  (A Christmas book in March...we celebrate all year round)

Eating at Chick-fil-A with her cousins Cass and Dylan!

The Chick-Fil-A playset may give Burger King a run for their money...

Keeley loves her cousin Cass!

On our last night in KC, we went to the Matt Ross Community Center which has an indoor mini-waterpark.  Here is Dylan shooting hoops.

Keeley loves her cousin Dylan!

Yes, that is me.  I went down the big waterslide three times.  LOVED. IT.

Like Mother, Like Daughter.  Keeley loved her slide too!

She was all about putting her head in the water and blowing bubbles.

After the swimming, Aunt "Cole" took us to get ice cream.  GREAT IDEA SISTER!

The best sister in the world.  I love you!

TOTAL catching up to do!

Sooo, it has been about 10 years since my last post.  Sorry about that.  I just realized that I never posted pictures from when my parents were here and from our little family birthday party we had for Keeley.  Mom and Dad brought her the cutest "pink monkey" cake.  They also got her a biddy baby.  It only took about 2 hours before she stepped on it and popped the babies head off...but no worries, we tied that sucker back on and it was as good as new.
