Soaked at Celebration City

We took a mini-vacation to Branson in late June with the kids. Annie and Alex especially had fun at the theme parks. We went to Celebration City, White Water, and Silver Dollar City. They seemed to really enjoy the kids' fountain at Celebration City. Thankfully, this was the last thing we did there, so we could strip them down for the ride back to the hotel. Enjoy the video.

This is SO wrong....

So, it was time for Reagan's annual trip to the groomer for her buzz cut and bath. The groomer usually shaves her hair down to about a half inch in length or so to get rid of her undercoat as it starts to shed this time of year. Rachael and her sister Samantha figured, "How hard can it be to give a dog a haircut?" Cheapskates they are, they decided to save the fifty bucks and groom Reagan themselves. Long story short: two hours and a whole lot of hair later, we had a BALD dog. Have you ever seen a dog's bare skin? It isn't pretty. It's actually quite sad. Anyway, they couldn't shave Reagan's head, legs or tail, so it looks like she's wearing arm-length gloves and a black mask. Look if you can bear it:

Mothers Day

Annie visits with Old Nana and both the kids show some love to their mom on Mothers' Day.

Fun at the Old Ballpark

Rachael got tickets to the Springfield Cardinals game for her Mothers of Preschoolers group, so we took the family. Lots of fun for Dad and Alex.

Alex Eats Like a Pig

We never had to deal with this kind of behavior with Annie. He's definitely all boy!
