KU CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE!

Hey all! Vince went with Alex and our neighbors to the KU championship parade. They got great shots of the players. I would have gone, but the girls had a birthday party to go to (Happy Birthday Holly!). We broke a pinata instead and had cake and ice cream. I said at the beginning of the season "how cool would it be if we won the championship 20 years after our first one." I remember being pulled out of school to go to the parade. I was eight. Time sure does fly by, but its pretty cool that Manning is on staff. We stayed up and watched the game and didn't fall asleep until after 1:30. Here are some pics for those who couldn't be there!

Business Time

This is hilarious! Vince and I just die when we hear this! Not that we can't relate to this or anything??!! Thought you all could use a good laugh!

Trip to Omaha

Over Spring Break, we went to Omaha with Papa and Nana Ketchum. We planned the trip a few weeks before, and then found out the Jayhawks and Wildcats were going to be playing there! It was really cool to see all the fans and watch the games (on TV) there. We went to the Omaha Zoo, which is always spectacular. Our favorites, are the jellyfish, penguins, and gorillas. The walk-through aquarium is sweet! We swam and ate and ate some more. GOOOOOO JAYHAWKS!!!!

Catch up time!

Sorry it has been so long guys. Nothing new is going on; still busy as all get out! Last Friday, Alex and I went to Bodies Revealed at Union Station along with some other homeschool families. It was incredible and I highly recommend it. I was wondering if Alex would be able to handle it, but the bodies looked almost like plastic. It was very well done and the babies/fetuses exhibit was unbelievable. What was really cool is that throughout the whole exhibit, everyone was pretty loud and crazy, but in the reproductive room, it was silent. People were just amazed at how intricately formed they were. Our Creator is amazing!!! We also have been busy at TLC (Learning Co-Op) learning about gardening. We have planted corn, peas, beans, and lots of herbs! I also got a job teaching the kids fitness program at the local gym a couple days a week--free membership, my kids get to be in the program for free, and I get paid! Woo-Hoo! Haley lost her other front tooth a while ago, so here's a picture. No news on our adoption--continue to pray for us, for me that I would be patient, for Vince that he would not go crazy with me! I am off this weekend for the Grace Women's Retreat, so that should be fun and tiring! I am doing a skit with some other ladies for it. Which reminds me, Alex was in a play with her homeschool group. She was the armadillo in "But Not the Hippopotomas"-by Sandra Boynton. Very cute! Sorry no pics, but hopefully I'll get one soon.
