One Cool Guy

Daryl loves his dad's sunglasses. He always says "eyes" when he sees glasses and now that he can put them on himself he loves to wear them!

For awhile now every time he sees a Jayhawk he says "hawk" well just yesterday Kel got him to say the whole word. Only it comes out "eeehawk"! It is too cute :)

They are always the best when they are SLEEPING!!!

Happy Mothers Day

I think D is about a week old in this pic. Its the first one of us together that I allow to be published! Barely!

I'm having a great mothers day today because everyone is finally home. This time last week D and I went to Hanston to wish Aunt Sofia a happy birthday. We took her to lunch and then we all walked around the Dodge City Zoo. Daryl loved the ducks and the pygmy goats!

Then we barely missed dad as Kel left on Tuesday for Reno for work. He had a good time but a week was too long away from us! On Saturday we picked D up from Holton (he spent a few nights with the g'parents) and I had to rush off to work.

So today we all got to be lazy!! We went to late church then came home had lunch and took a nap! Talk about a great day. Kel will have to go to work soon but he should be well rested :)

He knows me well in Reno he bought me some sock yarn and some sheep buttons. They are both orange!

May has just started and its already been busy. Have birthdays and graduation and anniversaries this month so I hope I can get some posts up in between. We shall see!

So much finished!

The row of scraggly sad pine trees are finally gone! Kel and his dad worked on that this morning and in no time at all we had a nice open yard and a stack of fire wood! BAM!

While papa was taking out trees grammy Meerpohl was making Indian Tacos!! So we all ate well!! And there may or may not be a tub of choc covered strawberries in my fridge that the grandparents forgot to take home. They may also be all gone by now ;-)

Grandma Korf was also up this weekend bowling state. Yeah bowling! She did good on Saturday and ok on Sunday. We were just glad to see her and let her stay in her room/craft room! We also got to have some bonding time when we picked her out a microwave.

The bestest news of all is my sock now has a sister. And my first pair of socks are done. I am so proud of myself!! I made twins!!

Down Come The Trees

The cedar trees, after six months from the first time the saw hit them, are now almost all the way down. Kel got most of what was left cut down the last time Momma Korf came up, then hauled them off the next week. Momma and Papa Meerpohl are coming down this weekend to get them finished off. We may actually get to plant some grass this fall now that the back yard sees a little sunlight.

Daryl got to see a lot of his cousins this week. Saturday he went to visit cousins Olivia and Victor in Lawrence while daddy played golf. They went to the park and had a picnic and played. Then Tuesday we went to see Carson's baseball game. We've still been playing outside as often as the weather will let us. This boy would be happy if he could live outside. Maybe we need to move to a tropical climate. Probably not, but I'm sure Daryl wouldn't complain.

We're looking forwared to seeing all of the grandparents this weekend. Good luck to Grandma Korf at the bowling tournament!

Yeah Sunshine!

There is nothing like blogging on the back patio in the cool breeze. Daryl is playing nicely with Vinny and they bugs and ants are not bad.

I don't know how Kelly makes my Internet work out here but I love him for it! Today I hit a milestone as a knitter. I finished my first sock! I've never been so proud of my knitting. I can now join the elite who say I knit socks. Well I can't really say socks till I finish the other one but I'm sure that will be soon.

Daryl and I have been staying outside working on our tans. So far I'm darker than him but he may catch up to me!! He got an Elmo movie and CD for Easter so Elmo is almost becoming a dirty word around here. I endure because it makes him happy. I'm sure Asa would agree its better than the Velveteen Rabbit. I used to make him watch that back to back!! Good Times.

Hugs to everyone hope you are all out enjoying this weather!!

Summer Cut

There were tears but D got a great haircut last night. He is naturally hot all the time so we went for a buzz cut to try and keep him cool. The best part is he can't stop touching his hair. It must feel funny to him. LOL

Thanks Grandma Meerpohl!!
