Keeping Busy!

Today was our first really cold day so we spent the afternoon trying on all our cold weather gear!

First ride in the jeep in our back yard!

 Both girls had hair cuts and got their hair braided. I don't know how the heck they got Austen's in a braid!

 I think they are just excited as Dru to ride the new lawn mower!

Halloween

We had lots of fun with Halloween this year! Laney decided at the last minute that she didn't want to be Tigres (from Kung Fu Panda) so Austen's Po costume became a little random (but so cute)!  Laney went with Rapunzel. 

 Big foot came to visit us! Isn't he scary?

Happiest Place on Earth!

Things are looking up...we have our internet connection! I'm determined to get back to more routine posts. In the midst of our transition to Parkville we took an awesome trip to Disney World. It really is the happiest place on earth. I can't wait to take Austen back when she's older so she can experience Disney in the same way Laney did. I think 5 is the perfect age to go for the first time. Laney's favorite character was Pluto. She was obsessed with her Pluto hat!

 We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's one morning and got several autographs...including one from Goofy!

We also had breakfast at the Tuscar House in Animal Kingdom. Austen loved waving to all the characters but the minute they got close to her she started screaming! 

We got soaked a few times! Here they are in their ponchos on one of the bus rides.

 There were a million highlights but one of my most favorites was lunch at the Castle in Magic Kingdom.  We saw Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and more.

Before our lunch at the castle Laney and Dawson got princess makeovers. Love how Austen is looking up in awe of the big girls!

Laney's 5th Birthday!

We celebrated Laney's 5th Birthday at the bowling alley! She's currently loving Jake and the Neverland Pirates (on Disney)...so that was our theme. She's most excited about seeing Jake at Disney World in just a few days! Usually this site only lets me download 5-6 pictures at a time but today it let me keep going. So here are lots of pictures (thanks Deb) from the party.

Random Pics

We had such a good time at the Royals game. The weather was perfect and we saw 3 home runs! 

Aunt Debbie gave us all new KC Chiefs gear. Laney and I got t-shirts, Dru got a hat and Austen got a football that sings the tomahawk chop. You can see our luxurious apartment in the background!

This scary ghost is Laney! She had the idea to wrap herself in paper towels to scare Austen. With help from Aunt Klanci...she looks pretty scary if you ask me!

We took this picture just before we headed out to KC. I miss our house! 

Laney wanted to run the bases at the park in Marshall. She really wants to play t-ball or softball or whatever little girls play (I don't even know)!

Last Day at Creme de la Creme

It was hard to say goodbye to friends and teachers at school today. Here's Austen with Ms. Martha and Ms. Sandra. These same two ladies taught Laney when she was in the infant program. Love them both!

 And here's Laney with Ms. Pamela. She taught Laney so much over the past year! 

Ta-da!

Here's Laney showing off her sweet sister. She kept saying...introducing Austen McCabe! They are both growing so fast and keeping us entertained 100% of the time!

Austen at 15 Months!

Austen is 15 months and moves her little legs so fast...I can hardly keep up. She loves to blow kisses to everyone she sees. Friendliest kid ever!

Nana and Austen both in their green outfits!

 Laney says this dress makes her hungry for ice cream!

Hair Cuts

Austen had her first hair cut over the weekend. They gave her a light up wand to hold on to and in typical Austen style she chewed on it the entire time. 

The finished product...a little twist on top!

Laney got hers cut too...with two twists on top! And she got a sparkle heart on her cheek. Not sure if you can see it in the picture.

New hair!

 Fun new matching dresses for church on Sunday! 

Father's Day

We had a great time at Broken Bow over Father's Day weekend! Laney was so excited to finally get to ride in Dru's kayak. She's been rowing in the back yard for a year now. She loved it!

Yes, Dru actually fits on this little motorcycle at the playground!

We liked it so much that we all got in the picture!

I have lots of hilarious shots of us going down this old school slide at the playground. But this one is by far my favorite. Go Pops go!

Heading out on the water!
