We did the Color Me Rad 5k with some friends and it was a blast!  It was so much fun and being able to talk with friends while we ran made it fly by.  I will definitely be doing this every year!  Next 5k...Glow Run!!

I didn't think the children's museum here in KC would be near as good as the one in Phoenix, but man was I wrong!  It was awesome!  The kids stayed for 5 hours and I had to make them leave at the end of the day.  We're going to definitely get season passes!

For the first time the kids participated in AWANA at church and what an amazing program!  It's basically a children's bible study where they are in charge of memorizing verses each week in order to get patches.  The volunteers were wonderful, it was very organized and the kids loved it!  We will definately be doing it again next school year. On the big screen at awards night! awards night!

I remember one of the things I hated about the midwest the first time I lived here....the ups and downs of the weather.  You can go from 80 degrees to snowing in a matter of one day but our winter clothes are put away so if it cools off again the kids and I are wearing shorts!   These beautiful days are definitely getting taken advantage of though because the kids will spend literally sun up to sun down outside.  This year they are able to ride big bike (with training wheels of course) and they LOVE it!  There are alot of really neat parks with great bike/running paths so we try to go almost everyday so they can ride and they're getting good enough I can run beside them now.   We're wrapping up school, but we still continue to go during summer as well just so they don't lose skills, but we don't advance any skills..just hone the stuff we have already learned and it's a more casual schedule so if we miss a day or week it's not a big deal.  Right now...
