Road Trip #1

Have you ever heard someone say that when you have your 1st child you take a ton of pictures and then when you have other children you don't take near as many? Well, that statement is so true for me! I'm sure I had taken 100's of photos of Kieran by the time he was 4 weeks old and Kiptyn--well, maybe 20? Does that make me a bad mom?!! I blame it on the busy, busy life I now have! I'm lucky if I even know where the camera is!! Adjusting to life with 2 kids has been just that--an adjustment--but, we're making it!

We took our 1st road trip with 2 kids last weekend. We traveled down to KS to see my family and to attend some family events. Honestly, this trip was quite stressful for both Chuck and I--we were both glad to be back home! Don't get me wrong--it was fantastic to see family and friends, but it was a tiring trip too! Kieran had been sick last week and he still wasn't feeling the best so that made him grumpy and Kiptyn has these fussy periods at night that we have to deal with. Thankfully, grandma was there to take Kieran--he loves her!!--and my friends that we stayed with took their turns at walking the floor with Kiptyn! Anyway, here are a few pictures from the weekend:

My great-grandma Loree was the Queen at Old Settler's Day in Kirwin, KS. Here is a photo of her with some of her grandkids and great-grandkids.

So, I've been doing laundry and getting ready to pack for our next trip--yep--another road trip--this time to Colorado! Chuck's sister is getting married this weekend so we'll be traveling out there and back this weekend. Yep--we're crazy! ha! Oh well--the busyness of life continues but even when I'm sleep deprived and have a million things to get done--having 2 little boys and 1 big boy to love makes it all worth it!!

In the meantime, this is what Kieran has been up to:
