Our Playground

One of the reasons we chose the townhouse that we live in is because there is a wonderful little playground about 100 yards from our front door. It's completely shaded (not that we have needed shade lately - the weather has been positively fall-like).

It is perfect for afternoon adventures!

Molly prefers to skip the actual playground and play with her horsies in the sandbox/volleyball court.

And Jamon doing what he does .......studying!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home

Glad as I can be.......


Clap my hands, and shout for joy, and climb upon his....chest


Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this


Grab his cheeks and give him what......

a great big....dog pile! :)

Molly's Horses

My little girl has become obsessed. Obsessed people. We look for horsie books at the library (and at Sam's Club), horsie shirts and nightgowns, horsie pictures, movies, and she is very concerned that I do not know any songs about horsies.



This little obsessed girl had her little horsie dreams come true. All for $3.



Happiest girl in the world!

KC Zoo

Molly looking through the "helascope"

Riding on the carousel! We actually bought a season pass (the zoo is about 2 miles from our house) and for like $30 more bucks you get unlimited rides on the carousel, train, tram, boat, and ski lift sky "thingy". Totally worth it. Molly would ride on the carousel all day if I let her!

Looking at the polar bear, Nakita

David liked the train!

Jamon and S. on the sky thing. It takes you over some of the African animals! (No worries just leaf eaters! :)

I'm excited about being able to go often! I love zoos (not to mention the kiddos!) It will be wonderful once this so called "fall" comes! :)

KC Fun #2

We also had a chance to visit a couple of the LDS historical sites while Jamon's family was in town!

This is the contractor's sign on the fence around the temple. Pretty cool!

Here is our beautiful temple! The dedication is scheduled for next spring!

We also stopped by the liberty jail! Molly was absolutely terrified of the wax figures inside (I can't blame her, I don't like them either!) I would definitely recommend visiting if anyone is ever in the area! It fantastic!
