We received a call from the browns to join them for an outing to Chesterfield Sports Fusion. After some quick research, Danelle and I agreed it would be a fun thing to do. So we picked a time to meet the Browns. It was especially good timing as it was another cold wet wintery time. … Continue reading “Chesterfield Sports Fusion – 1/25/2015”
I saw an instructional video online about making matchbook rockets and thought it would be a fun thing to do with the kids. I found the video from Grant Thompson “The King of Random”. We did this when mom was out doing something else. We started by watching the video he made for Matchbook Rockets. … Continue reading “Matchbook Rocket – 1/24/2015”
We spent New Year’s Eve at Kelly and Jeff’s house this year. Danelle doesn’t have too many opportunities to dress up, so she used this occasion and looked great! All our normal crew was there, but they had invites several of their other friends to join. There were more kids than we knew what to … Continue reading “New Year’s Eve – 12/31/2014”

I should probably also mention at this point that its stuffed! Nagini is big, but not really that scary, … Continue reading “Christmas Day – 12/25/2015”
We were at Danelle’s parents house for Thanksgiving. A nice family gathering. Out of the blue, Corvin decided he was hot and took off his shirt, walking around the house that way for a while. I called him the shirtless wonder and took photos of him. Silly boy! Hogan Haake
The Missouri Botanical Garden put out their annual Christmas Light and we decided to grace them with our presence. It was extremely cold outside, but it was still crowded. Corvin and I were not completely in the mood to visit that night, so we were not quite up to the Christmas spirit. I wasn’t thinking … Continue reading “Garden Glow – 11/21/2014”
Don’t get your hopes up, this is not a dirty post. It actually about our Thanksgiving trip out of town to French Lick, Indiana. We booked a room at the Big Splash resort/indoor water park. The water park is located on top of a hill, so its hard to miss, but not a place I … Continue reading “French Lick – 11/19/2014”
Corvin and I decided to participate in the Kawllowleen canoe and kayak race. Its a nice 11 mile race mostly on the Kansas River near Kansas City. Having family in town helps for shuttling cars before a race. My parents were not in town, but Hiatt was going to be in town. Hiatt needed some … Continue reading “Hiatt Attic and Kawoleen – 11/1/2014”
On a whim, I wanted to go on a hiking trip with the family. I packed them up and headed for a surprise destination. I had an idea where I wanted to go, but was not telling them. On the way to our initial destination, we encountered The Wabash, Frisco, and Pacific Association. This is … Continue reading “Wabash Railroad – 10/26/2014”
