PICTURE TIME

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 20:13:00 +0000

We had to take our Christmas card pictures and we had some great outtakes. My favorite are the boys looking at the woolly worm Grandma Hauk found.

DUAL HAIRCUTS

MAREN'S LAST SCHOOL HALLOWEEN PARTY

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 20:00:00 +0000

Maren's last year of having a Halloween party. This year it was pretty cold, so they didn't attempt to go outside and around the building.

COEN'S PRESCHOOL HALLOWEEN PARTY

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 19:55:00 +0000

I got the chance to help at Coen's Halloween party this year. The first thing they do is a parade to the Elderly Community to sing songs to them. Afterwards, they go back to class and go to different stations.

NOT HAPPY PUMPKIN CARVERS

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 21:00:00 +0000

I think someone doesn't like touching pumkin guts. The other ones doesn't mind at all!

WESTON APPLE PICKING

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 23:45:00 +0000

The boys, Dad and I went to Weston to pick apples per Coen's request. We had a good time going to lunch and walking around downtown. Then we headed to Weston Orchard and Vineyard to play and pick apples. They had this awesome bouncy mat for the kids to play on and Coen got to shoot a apple gun with his dad. Beck couldn't wait to get home to dig into an apple. After it all we headed to Green Dirt Farm Creamery to get fresh pumpkin ice cream.

NEW BEDS

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:20:00 +0000

The boys got new teepee beds today. It took me all weekend to build but they came together and the boys seemed to love them.

WESTWOOD PARK

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:15:00 +0000

We tried a new park today. It was fun to play on a different playground. That is until Coen fell down and scrapped his knee. He told me to just wipe it off and he can keep playing while holding back tears.

COEN'S WRESTLING DEBUT

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 02:23:00 +0000

Coen tried wrestling today up north. He loved it although he still has a bunch to learn. He didn't quite understand to take down his opponent.

WALK IN THE PARK

These boys love each other!

COEN'S FIRST DAY OF 3 YEAR OLD PRESCHOOL - Class of 2032

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Fri, 25 Aug 2017 14:56:00 +0000

We missed the whole first day of school opportunity last year since he started half way through the year (a slot opened up), but we snapped pictures this year. Coen is attending his second year at Highlawn Montessori School with Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Henley. He loves his school and is friends and went happily into the school when I dropped him off as if he didn't have a summer break at all.

After the day ended (they go from 8:45 - 11:45), we headed over to Franklin Park where the school threw a picnic for his class. He got to meet some of the new children that would start on Monday with them.

SOLAR ECLIPSE

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 15:50:00 +0000

Blowing away the clouds.

We had the great opportunity to have a Solar Eclipse pass through our area on Monday, Aug 21, 2017. We all ended up in different parts of the area. Alexa remained at high school, Beck went to Grandma Hauks, Maren & Coen went to Weston with the Smykay's, Dad went to work in Overland Park and Mom was downtown. This all gave us a different view of the eclipse.

I was able to grab these great shots of the eclipse with my 300mm lens capturing a Baily's Bead. And of course Erin took pictures of all the fun they had in Weston.

ST LOUIS TRIP - ADAMS / HAUK / BURHANS ROAD TRIP

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Sun, 20 Aug 2017 15:31:00 +0000

We had a weekend trip with Grandma Hauk, Aunt Rachel, Aunt Adrienne, Caleb and Grayson to St. Louis.

I was worried, because the boys were both sick (Coen was coughing up a storm with a fever). Luckily, we managed to stuff a lot of things into that weekend and we have a ton of memories. First stop was City Museum and dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory. The next day we attempted to get a picture in front of the arch, but Coen wasn't going to have anything to do with it. I gave up and we finished out the trip at the zoo.

BECK'S FINAL CT CHECK

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 14:56:00 +0000

Beck had his final CT for his head. They attempted to do it without putting him under, but since that was unsuccessful they had no other choice. They did allow me to hold them while they put him to sleep which was a first for me.

After his CT we had to wait until a neurologist reveiewed the images the following week. We were happy to find out that he was healing perfectly!

ALEXA'S 1ST DAY OF SOPHOMORE YEAR

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 15:55:00 +0000

3 more years and this girl is in college!

The girls started on different days this year, so they get separate posts. :)

MAREN'S 1ST DAY OF 6TH GRADE

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 15:54:00 +0000

Maren's last year of elementary! I can't believe how time flies. Hopefully this year is the best yet for her.

PENSACOLA BEACH, FL - 2017

noreply@blogger.com (Niki :: Village Cape Cod) — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 12:47:00 +0000

So many fun memories. We started out by going to the Pensacola Blue Wahoo's Minor League Baseball game. Jay forgot to take off his baseball cap and got yelled at to take it off. Then he attempted to catch a ball, only to drop it and bruise his thumbs. Luckily the team threw it back to him. We didn't last the whole game, but the kids had fun (mainly eating and playing with the blowup toys.)

The next day we hit the beach. We got a little bit of a swim in until it started storming. We had to run back inside, but at least we got to play a little bit. Beck loved the sand and Coen enjoyed the waves that hit the shore.

We mainly stayed at the pool for the rest of the vacation since it was easier to manage the babies, but finished the vacation off at the beach and eventually capturing a few good shots of us all before heading to dinner.
