DAY 3 OF COUSIN CAMP

I forgot to mention our girls' night out. It was the night of day 2. Brittany took Annie, Stephanie and I to a movie, Letters To Juliet. The AMC Theater there in Olathe has changed some since I've lived there. They have the Cinema Suites and Fork & Screen. Britt took us to the Cinema Suites, it was awesome. They have leather reclining seats and a person that waits on you. Restaurant style food and of course concession stand treats. It's quite fancy and was a very fun experience. The other cool thing about the Cinema Suites, you have to be 21 and older.

It certainly was a girls' night out, after the movie we went to Wal-Mart (I can't remember why) but Steph and Annie started trying on all sorts of clothes. Funny thing about that, the dressing rooms were closed so they found an aisle that was out of the way and started trying on clothes. Silly girls!!! They actually found some really cute stuff for very cheap. I'll spare you the details but lets just say we were all cracking up at ourselves, well mostly at those two.

Thank you Brittany for an awesome night, we certainly needed something like that!

Needless to say we got off to a late start the next morning...

We went to Crown Center in Kansas City on the 3rd day where we went to Kaleidoscope. It was a fun FREE place for the kids to play and do art work. Crown Center is a really cool place and I've only been there a few times in my life. A big mall with very cool stores and so many things to do.

The first station they made cone hats.


And of course Steph had to join in and make one herself. She's so cute and creative.
Cheyenne, Addison and Ayva playing around.
Addison, what a silly little thing. I swear, she's as lite as a feather when picking her up.
So many discovery type things to play with.
This room was the coolest. It was a black light room. This station was melted crayon that they could splatter on paper. I think I had more fun with this than my girls. The above is a shot with my flash and below are ones without the flash.


Here they got to make crowns.



Ayva, Cardston, Brampton, Cheyenne, Addison, Aden
This is just a really cool couch and a great place for a picture. Poor Brampton was asleep, although we think he was just faking it. They got so sick of taking pictures, poor kids!

After Kaleidoscope, we went to the Crayola Store. Ayva loves lining things up, especially animals.
They found this train outside of the train cafe and just had to get on. What cute kids!!
That night we topped it off with a little Birthday Party. The 3 boys and my sister Brittany all have birthday's in May but it was a celebration for all of them.

More to come.

Hello blog world!

We made it back from another fun trip, so I have a lot of blogging to do.

After I get caught up with my massive pile of laundry I'll do some posting. Wish me luck, I hate laundry!!!

Sidewalk Chalk, Water Blasters(thanks Steph), Bubbles and Our Very Own Air Show

FYI: DAY 2 OF COUSIN CAMP IS BELOW
On Tuesday, the girls and I went outside to play. Little did we know we'd see an air show right outside our house. The Air Force Academy had their graduation yesterday so they had a practice on Tuesday. We got to watch them both. I love watching air shows, probably because of my dad.
Hope it's not too boring, it's just a bunch of pictures of jets.

I told you, right over our house. Ours is that ugly yellow colored house. ha ha ha
Isn't that so cool though?!!!
I love this one with the bird caught in it too!
That is our neighbor's house.
I caught this one with my zoom lens, how cool are those jets!!!
Those are our neighbors across the street.
There's my cute little family.

DAY 2

Day two was pretty relaxing but still a little chaotic.
This is what the mornings looked like, trying to get up and get ready. Annie was always up and going early.
The weather ruined some of our plans so we had to make other plans.
We went to the Great Mall to get out of the rain.


THEY LOVED THE MERRY-GO-ROUND, WE COULDN'T GET THEM OFF.
There was a little fighting over the zebra so they compromised, what nice sisters!
Brampton's ready for take off!
Cardston and Cheyenne taking a ride.
They also got to do some crafty things.
Cheyenne's horse that she colored.
Aden's horse.
And Ayva's, I missed getting shots of the others.
Then Grandpa took them all out for rides on the "BIG" bike.
Cheyenne looks like she's thinkin', "I'll just lay back while grandpa does all the work."



Not sure exactly who started this but I found Cardston and Cheyenne doing this all week and thought it was so funny. Silly kids!!

Payzant Cousin Camp 2010

So my awesome cousins the Jardine's gave me this wonderful idea of cousin camp.
Last week we had cousin camp in Kansas and had an amazing time. We had 6 of the 9 cousins there (we missed you Leisel, Kira, Kamber and Kendi).
It was so fun hanging out with everyone. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us do the camp at your place, we had a blast!!!
Aden, Ayva, Brampton, Addison, Cheyenne and Cardston
Stephanie did an amazing job with the shirts, they're so cute!!! At the bottom she had little hand prints with each of their names.
FOR THE BOYS
FOR THE GIRLS
Isn't she awesome!!! She is so creative!!!
We all hung out in the basement and the kids loved sleeping in tents.

Cardston and Stephanie
Getting ready to go to the Kansas City Zoo.
TUESDAY AT THE ZOO

Annie and Addison
They love the elephants.
It's hard to get a good picture with the girls.
I had to hold onto them.
Cheyenne and her faces.

Ayva got tired of walking around.
We finished off the Zoo day with a few rides on the carousel.
After the zoo we stopped by the library to get some books for story time. Then we had a little down time, mostly for us oldies.
Always putting on a show!
Story time with Grandma and Grandpa.
After that, bedtime (sigh), now we can relax.

That was DAY 1, the rest will be coming soon.
