What If . . .

What if a mom hadn't posted on the family blog for 5 months?  What if that same mom had so many pictures of the last five months, it was impossible to choose what to post?  What if those pictures covered three states, multiple holidays, and countless milestones?

That would mean the Wonka family is busy having FUN!

These crazy people visited Mt Rushmore!

Shanna and Andrea rode in a hot air balloon

We saw lots of rock formations in Nebraska!

The kids stayed in their first hotel - EVER!

A buffalo walked less than 20 feet from our van!

Grandpa taught Henry to build!

Frankie won our family's Fantasy Football 

We went to a freezing awesome Sporting KC game!

Sporty Spice!

We've been quite "sporty" around here lately - often having 4-5 soccer games each weekend and catching games on TV in-between!  Lexi & I (Andrea) participated in the school's running club (OK, I passed out water, but still . . .) which led up to the annual Walk-a-Thon. Lexi ran 8.5 laps and Frankie ran 7!

Then, Frank & Lexi ran a really cold 5k!

All three kids played soccer this Fall and are excited for next season!  In the meantime, we'll be watching Sporting KC on TV, cheering on the Chiefs (or Broncos if you're Frankie), and trying to figure out this "football with a bat" (Henry's description of baseball - he can really only keep two sports straight in his mind!).

Pre-K

 This was the last time I'll ever take a first day of school picture at Redeemer Lutheran Preschool.  For six years, I've been dropping off kids to the loving care of Mrs. Killingsworth and her crew of fantastic teachers.  Henry was a bit shy (shocker!) the first day but Mrs. Killingsworth helped bring him out of his shell by setting out his favorite toy during free play.

We're so glad we chose for him to wait one more year before starting Kindergarten.  Here's to Pre-K!

With his favorite toy - the cowboys!
