After Midnight...

After midnight at the Donut King on 210 Highway... Because sometimes, when you've been moving heavy stuff all day, you need a break!

Just a Little Creepy...

Mae drew this for me in the middle of the night the other night. I was awoke by a little girl standing by me telling me that she'd drawn this picture for me. Thrusting it in my face, she stated "See? He's a demon and all these guys are dancing around him... I gave you extra paper so you can make up the rest of the story yourself..." I was groggy with heavy sleep and, in that state, was totally creeped out by it.

Then, two days later, Mae did this creepy sleepwalk thing that totally had me convinced she was posessed for about 3 days, until I realized that she was just my silly, ill-temepered goober! :D

Still, kinda creepy... No?

A Company Lunch

Friday was Jas' company picnic at Faulkner's Ranch here in Kansas City, MO. This was probably the most fun the girls had partaken of at one of these functions (they are usually held at the ball park) and the change of venue was a really good fit for family fun. The day was spent hanging out with family and enjoying the country with ponies to ride, bunnies to pet, food to eat, lines to zip down... it was a full day!

 

Mother's Day on the Farm

Mother's Day was really nice this year. The weather was nearly perfect and no real rain to ruin shoes and muddy clothes.

My little group met up with the rest of the family for lunch, then took a jaunt to the new property my aunt and grandparents are working over. There, we stumbled across a toad, an odd, underground chrysalis, and, after returning to my grandparents' farm, my grandfather working on his old tractor and a slew of sweet, yellow kittens!

Then we retired back to my mother's house where we picked strawberries, raided the pantry, and dined on the patio surrounded by bright, cheerful blooms!

What a great day!

It's a Strike!

 This year in lieu of a big birthday bash full of screaming neighborhood children, we threw an intimate family party full of bowling at The Diamond Bowl on the Independence, MO, Town Square. Then we hoofed it over to Square Pizza, where we had some of the best pizza around and played vintage stand-up video games non-stop until all were tuckered out.

The Rack is Full @ Diamond Bowl.
