Surprise!

We surprised Great Granny a few weeks ago.  We got her good! It was the Valley Center Fall festival and she was over at the Historical Society giving tours for the day.  Our visit was really cool for two reasons.  We got to see her AND we got to tour the historical society which is none other than Great Granny Pat's childhood home.  What a treat! The girls were fascinated by all the things inside.  They didn't want to leave when it was time.  Their favorite part was trying on cool vintage hats with Great Granny.  The picture of the stove is the very stove that her mother cooked on when she was a child. So cool! Linkan & Palmer's Great Granny is such a doll and so much fun. She just turned 85 in mid-September but you wouldn't know it! We love her so much!

Pearly Whites

The girls had dentist appointments today. They get pretty pumped about going. It's a pediatric dentist office so yea, its a lot of fun in there. :-) They always take your picture on your first visit. For Palmer, that was 6 months ago. Ben and I giggled when I brought the picture home because it was the classic Palmer look. The, "I don't know who you are, lady...or why you're taking my picture this early in the morning but I'm not EVEN going to crack a smile until I've observed you for at least an hour and have deemed that you safe to talk to." Naturally, I put it up on the fridge. :-). It's pretty remarkable how much she has changed physically and personality-wise in just 6 months. The picture says it all. 

That lion had some serious pearly whites after the Postlethwait girls got done with him! 

Deanna Rose Farmstead

We visited the farmstead in Overland Park today with my MOPS group. What a fun place!

13th Wedding Anniversary

Labor Day marked our 13th weddin anniversary. Geez, has it been that long? :-D We celebrated by going on a morning canoe adventure at Clinton Lake. Linkan and Palmer had all sorts of fun finding "treasures" such a clam shells, frogs, snakes, bugs, and cool looking rocks. We got very close to a beautiful bald eagle. The weather was perfect. We had a perfect day hanging out together. I included the last two pics of Link because she was totally naked (swimsuit was making her cold), sitting in the bag seat, eating popcorn and making silly fads with Palmer. They were cracking each other up!

Silly Face!

Ben's Broken Heel

He is the habanero to my vanilla. Life would be so boring without him. :-) Broke his heel while bouldering on the rock wall in the garage the night before Palmer's second birthday. Thankfully, it wasn't a bad break and doc hopes that he will be able to walk on it without assistance in about 6 weeks.
