Road Trip: Wichita

On our great road trip to Iowa, we stopped for a few days in Wichita to visit Ben's family. We stayed at Ben's parents house. They are the BEST hotel in Kansas :) His brother's family also lives in Wichita. Lila and Wyatt both have a cousin very close in age to them, so we always have a fun time! While we were there this time, Aunt Pam had a duplicate dress someone had given Rachel... so we put it on Lila and went outside to take pictures!

Just because they have on the same outfit doesn't mean they will look at the same person!

Such a good hug!

Then Wyatt jumps in front of my camera, smiles and says "Chee!"

Trying to get a natural smile from her.

There's one!

Wyatt enjoyed going for rides.

Then all the kids discovered how fun banging on the metal trash can with sticks could be.

This is a shot of Wyatt pulling the toy wheelbarrow up Ben's parents driveway. All of the pictures were taken at their house. But this shot looks like some old country lane, I love it.

New Things

Well, it's been awhile since I updated this blog. Our month of June has been busy! I guess May was too! Back in May, I took a photography class one Saturday in Tulsa, OK. It was a really neat experience, and I learned a lot – mostly how to shoot in manual mode. Since then, I have kept my camera set to manual and forced myself to practice. I am definitely still learning, but it is fun. Shortly after I took that class, I took these pictures of the kids watering flowers.

Lila loves to water the flowers!

Wyatt is trying to figure out how to get the hose into his little can. It's a pretty small can, but considering he just turns it upside down to water, that's probably a good thing!

At the end of May, we took a trip to Iowa for several days, and then in June, the kids had swim lessons. Sometime in there we also discovered we were expecting our 3rd child (due in January) so that has kept me from blogging too. During Wyatt's nap is when I usually find time on the computer, but I confess for the past month, I have often taken a nap then too :) I have been feeling pretty good, but definitely more tired. Now that I have my pictures off the camera, I'm hoping to get caught up soon.
