Flat Stanley

This last week we had a visitor....Flat Stanley!! My niece Emree read about Flat Stanley in school and then made their own to travel the world. Emree's Flat Stanley came to Warner in Salina!!! Here are a few things we did while Stanley was in town!

We introduced him to the famous Mom's Cafe. They have the best homemade scones and honey butter!!
Warner took Stanley to school to meet his friends. He was worried they were going to want to hold him. As you can see he already has a broken arm. Not to worry, it didn't happen during his visit to Salina!

We took Stanley to the post office to pick up our mail. Pretty soon he will be mailed off to some where else to travel the world. This is where we will take him when it's time to go!

Stanley stayed by Warner's side while he got his hair cut. We have sure enjoyed his visit and hope to hear about all the places he gets to travel. Now he is off to Pennsylvania!!

6 months already

I've said it with every kid, but oh my how the time is flying. It's hard to believe that 6 months have come and gone. Sophie is just so much fun. I can't get over how much her brother and sister just love having her around. Sophie eats lots and lots of sweet potatoes, squash, rice cereal and bottles. She rolls ALL OVER THE HOUSE. It's time to get the gates out!! Just this week she has started to sit up on her own for 10 mins is the longest. Oh how we love you Sophie!!

Final Birthday post

After a week of celebrating after Christmas we had a bowling birthday party for Warner. He had all his cousins and grandparents there! Even ones who traveled far. Thank you!! He loved everything! From the bendaroo's the "halky talkies", Diego games, memory, bat mobile for his bat cave...this kid was spoiled!

Happy 4th Birthday Warner

Warner celebrated his 4th birthday in December. We can't pin point the exact day because it's a week celebration around here!! That's just the way we like it! Sunday after church we had the everyone over for lasagna dinner. Warner was just plain tuckered out he fell asleep at the cupboard.
He woke up for cake and presents, but he's still not sure if he's having fun! Being three for Warner must have been a good year, because he did NOT want to turn 4. He said we could have a party, but he was staying three.

Now he's starting to warm up!!! People bring presents to birthday parties!!! Happy Birthday Warner Bug!!

All I want for my birthday!!

When we asked Warner what he wanted for his birthday he told us his room painted and Wally the green giant on his wall!! I should have done before pictures. Darn! So Lynzie and I painted a couple walls blue and the bed, and dressers. Then stuck a few fatheads on the wall and it was a hit!!
Warner showing off his Boston Red Sox room!

You can't see but his bat has a Boston Red Sox logo on it with Warner's name engraved on it. His uncle Chuck picked it up for us. He's waiting for warmer weather to go hit some balls.

And there you have it....the mess and all!!

Christmas Day

Christmas was so much fun this year. The kids were so excited for Santa to come. Santa found them at Grandma's house and boy did he ever spoil them. Abbi was so excited to get a few baby dolls and a kitchen. She's such the little mother hen. I LOVE it.
Warner got his "Weapster" (Leapster 2)!! He has been wanting this for quite some time. It was priceless when he opened it up. I've never heard this kid do the boo yah chant so loud! It just made the day that much better.

Sophie was just glad for some wrapping paper. She is seriously the best baby ever...sometimes you forget she's even there. She got clothes...teething toys and a big present that mom and dad decided it might make a better birthday present!! Are we awful? After it was all said and done we just had way to much stuff that her big present would've just put us over the top. Besides she'll have more fun opening it on her birthday!!

All in all it was a wonderful day! We got up early, destroyed the grandparents house in a matter of mins. Had our usual yummy omelets and then off to Grandpa Warner's house. We made it back to Salina in time to play some Mario Bros on the Wii. I was reliving my Nintendo glory days!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent in Salina at Grandma and Grandpa Roberts. From finger foods, to the kids white elephant games, new pj's and reading Christmas stories and the adults games it was a good time had by all!! We did a Disney theme with the pj's this year. Abbi absolutely thought she was a princess in her night gown. She twirled and twirled all night long.
