Sad video to MiMa

So... MiMa (my mom, Jane) will be at our house when Cale wakes up Friday morning. She is pretty stoked about this and keeps talking about her and the things they will do.
Since last year, she has said that MiMa was going to take her to the waterslides (Summit Waves) and even when I try to tell her that I don't know about that... she insists this is happening. I just heard her talking about the water slides so I grabbed the camera to see if she would talk. Next thing I know- she is crying b/c she wants her MiMa...and making a super sad face. She can be SO dramatic!!

Aunt Abby and Great Grandma Eunice

Just had to post these from Mother's Day weekend. My sister Abby is so good with the girls. She runs and plays with them and Cale just keeps begging for more! Thanks Abby- you are a great AUNT!
As many of you know, my Grandma (Eunice Hannah Liddell) has been through a lot this last year. She has toughed it out through many miserable days and is now getting stronger everyday and is CANCER FREE! We visited her last week- and I just think she is looking so good. Hair is back and all!! Thanks to all of our friends and family who have been there for us and have prayed for her. She is a pretty tough lady!

Sharing with my sis

Our girls love their wagon... they love playing outside. They LOVE playing with the neighbors... but they REALLY LOVE POPSICLES! I find it quite sweet that Cale lets Leah have licks of her popsicle. Leah likes them, but does not want to hold her own yet. Cale has really taken to helping her. It makes my heart happy. Happy Mother's Day!

What are we doing today?

We have really had some fun in May- and it is only the 5th! We visited with the Lee's Summit Fire Department at Safety Day and got to check out all of their gear. Also, the kids got to sit in a police car and get on a school bus. Cale was a little unsure at first- but warmed up. She practiced telling the police and firemen "Thank you for helping people" it was sweet. She also gave the firemen some dandelions. I bet they were so impressed! On Sunday, we went to the zoo- and the kids love that. Both of them enjoyed the animals and the playground and as usual Andy and I had a blast. We even ran into our friends Brian and Chris and their kiddos. Great day for the zoo. I found Cale a few garage sale items this weekend...including the bike with training wheels. She really likes it and it was cheap!! On Monday we visited Paradise Park with some friends. Cale and Leah both love it there- and it was nice so we got to play outside and go "fishing" in their little pond for magnetic fish. Cale loved this. We are so thankful to have so many fun things to do!

Leah eating blackberries

Leah loves to eat blackberries. She just tears them up! She will eat a whole package if I let her! However, normally she has to share with mommy! I have really found that Leah loves most things I like. Whether that is just a coincidence or from nursing her - I'll never know. But it is great b/c she will eat so many healthy things.
She also adores blueberries and strawberries. I think I am headed to Hen House to get another Flat of berries!
