Memorial Weekend 2013

We had a great Memorial weekend this year. We had a Studley family reunion of sorts. Gigi, Uncles Byran and Aunt Gayles families and our families were all at mom and dad's for the weekend. It was a great time for the kids to play and for all of us to spend time together and catch up. We ate alot of great food (thanks mom and dad!) and drank a bit.

 Saturday was the rodeo parade and arts and crafts festival downtown.  The kids loved the parade and were very excited.

 Saturday was the 125th Birthday party for the Big Well. We had a bit of a party with cake and 125 cent admission from 2-4. In that 2 hours, we had over 400 people. It was like the grand opening all over again.

 Saturday afternoon everyone took turns signing Amelia's cast.

 Pizza night!

 On Monday, Clint, Ashley and Saige headed to Kansas City for Saige's check up appointments today. The other 3 stayed with mom and dad. We had a t-ball game in the backyard.

 Grandpa Bob took the kids to check on the grapes.

4 Weeks

Amelia's does have a fracture in her elbow. Travis stayed home with her this morning and I had her this afternoon. I got the call around 3 to come in to get a cast put on. She'll wear it for 4 weeks, then they'll cut it off and take xrays to see how it's healed. Around 5, she fell asleep on the couch and slept until around 9. She woke up when Travis tried to put her in her bed. So, we got some snuggle time watching cooking tv together.

Amelia's Got an Ouchie

Today Amelia tipped her bike over and fell on her arm. We decided to take her to the hospital to get looked at. They did xrays and she might have a fracture in her elbow. They are sending her images to Wichita to be read tomorrow, so we'll know more then. For tonight, she's got it in a sling and for now, is sleeping. We'll see how the night goes...

Lane's 1st Birthday

Last Saturday, Mom, Dad, the kids and I (Travis was fishing with Ray) went down to the Petty Ranch in the morning. We fixed the swing set, had lunch, then headed to Tanner's for Lane's 1st birthday party.

 On the way home, we passed a lot of storm chasers. We didn't get anything here, but to the east and south there was rain and hail.

Tomatoes, strawberries, rosemary, basil, cilantro, lettuce and spinach.

Spring Weather

Last night Travis left to go fishing for the rest of the week, so it's just me and the kiddos. Last night we were invited to Mom and Dad's for supper. We decided to each on the back patio.

 The kids are dying to go swimming and played with all of the pool toys.

Tonight Mom, the kids and I went out for some Thursday evening picking in the sandhills.

 Our take:

 After baths and tick inspection, we relaxed and watched a movie before bed.

Marley is always hopeful for a snack.

Amelia had her babies asleep on the couch beside her.
