The Circus

Hello all!! Yes I know, I'm a bit behind again. SORRY!!

This past Saturday, we took Rylee to The Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey's Circus. They came to the Sprint Center so we bought tickets to the 11am show. I'm not sure who was more excited, Rylee or us!! I haven't ever been to the circus so I was very, very excited. Rylee was too when we started telling her about the animals.

Here is a picture of me and Rylee before the show started.


Here is little missy during intermission

Rylee & Daddy after the show


We had a BLAST at the circus!!! I think Rylee enjoyed it too. She got a little restless at the end but it was getting close to nap-time so that was understandable!

We went home to get rested for our company for the evening. We invited Todd & Beth (neighbors and Rylee daycare provider in Olathe) and Jenny, Jake & Ava (neighbors from Olathe) over for a BBQ. They hadn't seen our new home yet plus we just needed an excuse to get together. And Rylee and Jake really miss each other so we wanted to give them a chance to play.

Here are the buddies at the end of the night.


Both of the kids were worn out!! They played so hard! It was so nice to see them together again!!

Sunday was a pretty relaxing day, which was very nice! Normally we are out of town so it was nice to be home for a change!!!!!

This weekend Rylee & I are headed to Caldwell to help celebrate Darren, my dad & Kirstan's b-day, we'll go to my nephew Andrew's football game on Friday night and to Logan's volleyball tournament on Saturday. Lots of driving but it will be worth it! Hope to have some pictures to share.

Until next time....TTFN!!!!

Slacker!!

Yes, I know I'm slacking on my blog once again! I just can't seem to keep up!!! Nothing too exciting has been going on for us. Just the usual...work, work and more work!!

Rylee continues to keep us very busy. She is the "potty training" process at the moment. She does GREAT at school....except going #2. She just hasn't figured out how to go poop on the potty yet. That is the only time she has accidents at school. We are soooo ready to be out of diapers and pull-ups but I think it will still be a while. For whatever reason, she isn't very good at telling us she needs to potty at home. It's getting better but not great! I guess it's more fun at school since everyone else is doing it!!!! In due time I guess!

This weekend, we will be heading south for the 3rd Annual McDorman Family Lake trip. We spend the weekend at Winfield Lake. I am sooooo looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend! I hope the weather cooperates with us! I am also super excited to see my parent's new toy! They bought a 5th Wheel (camper) a few weeks ago. I guess it is HUGE and super nice! No "roughing" it for the McDormans. I do have to say though, I really don't mind sleeping in a tent. I kind of enjoy it....especially when it's not 100 degree's outside! Ryan is not a huge fan of camping so I know he is going to enjoy the camper! I should have lots of fun stories and pictures to share after the weekend.

I'll leave you with a picture of Ryan and I from our housewarming party a few weeks ago.


I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend!!! Until next time, TTFN!!
