Just July.

There were some hunters that visited our house...they were doing some bird watching...


Snoozin'.....


We went to Jace's well check and love playing in the waiting room!


We got to watch Brook one day, at her house, so we went swimming!



And finally, after many attempts this summer, Connor jumped in!


She still naps...


And Jace and I spent a day doing what he loves best!  Mini golf!



Followed by lunch at his current favorite place, Arby's!



Dad helping Connor with some "homework"


And this guy has become the resident Orange Julius maker.  He reads the directions, measures, and pretty much does it all by himself!


At the end of July, we went on a float trip with some friends.  We floated from White Cloud to Atchison!


It was a really fun, relaxing day!

Topeka Discovery Center

We visited the Topeka Discovery Center with our Boos cousins in July!

I think this is the scariest part of this place...giving them hammers and nails and letting them build something...


The girls, especially Cassidy, loved working on the car.


Jace, Colton and Kyler spent pretty much all day at the "grain elevator."  Also pictured is our cousin Josie!



Connor LOVED the vet center and office.



We met up with our Aunt Janet and her grandkids.
Julia, Kyler, Jalen, Josie, Alexis, Cassidy, Connor, Colton, and Jace.

A KC Getaway...

We made a little speed vacation to KC in July, just the four of us!


Our main mission was to see this highly anticipated movie in our house...
Despicable Me 3!  The last couple summers our movie choices have disappointed...but not this year!



Of course Cabela's was visited...


We talked the kids into trying "Jazz" a Louisiana restaurant that we love.  While we were there we ordered calamari and they tried it and liked it, and we even told them what it was!


Later that night we swam and hung out at the hotel, and we ordered pizza delivery to our room, which was a first for our kids to have it delivered!


The next day, we visited Schlitterbahn water park.  The kids LOVED it.  Jace was all over the slides and tubes, Connor took a little bit to warm up.  She would have been content to play in the kids play place all day, but Jed got her to go down some slides with him.  And....while they did their tube flipped over, but she was still smiling!


They were SO tired on the way home.  Jace stayed awake long enough to drive over to Legend's and get the Arby's he had been begging for, but didn't get to eat much of it before he was OUT!

Deanna Rose

Every summer we love going to Deanna Rose with our Johnson cousins!





As usual, the horse riding was one of the highlights!



And feeding all the animals, especially the little goats!




When we went on the "hayrack ride" we were pretty much the only people on there, and Jace was the only "big kid." The driver let Jace take some corn and feed the deer that they have there!






Afterwards we went to Fritz's for lunch, where everyone loved watching the trains!

Connor Wonnor

Is growing up way. too. fast.

She has been working on buttering her own bagel...I think mostly because then she gets to eat the bagel butter straight out of the container...



She twins with Brook sometimes...although they look more like David and Goliath than twins...


We celebrated Grandpa George's birthday!


Baby went with us for a stroller ride!


Connor made a fairy garden at Barb's one day!


But she is still my baby.


And one Sunday after church we got to go to the airport with Dad to drop off some things!  They love watching the planes take off!
