Big Boy Bed!

Last Thursday, Kueffer moved into his BIG BOY BED! He was so excited and slept through the night with no problem. (The Thomas the Train sheets from Aunt Lisa got him even more excited about going to sleep...thanks!) The next morning, he walked upstairs to let us know that it was 'morning time' and he loved his new bed!
It's been almost a week and no problems...he's actually been sleeping much longer each morning. Mommy and Kueffer are still trying to make it on time to Parent's Day Out once this summer! ;)

PS- Daddy did a GREAT job building Kueffer's bed. I know Kueffer thinks it's even more special because his Daddy made it for him.

Happy Father's Day

Kueffer and Mommy are so blessed to have a daddy and husband that wants to spend his free time doing things with us. Many men choose other things... Daddy chooses family time.
We love him so much!
Happy Father's Day!!!!

Branson

Last weekend, Daddy, Kueffer and Mommy went to Branson for a quick and fun filled weekend with family. It was so good seeing Papa and Grandma, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Darryl, Brock and Quinten, Aunt Bobbi, Uncle Clark and Baby Max. Grandma and Papa planned for a fun weekend...and it was a success! :)

We rode the 'Duck' boats and Kueffer LOVED it....he even drove for a bit!

Very serious boat captain!
He also LOVED the quacker...Daddy did not love it as much.
(Mommy loved quacking along as well.)Max and Uncle Clark driving the boat...Max was not too sure about it.

We went to Bass Pro and watched them feed all of the fish.
Kueffer loved seeing the fish and all of the other kiddos there.Looking at all of the fish with Grandma
He is even more ready to go fishing now!Kueffer and Uncle Darryl picking out a fishing pole

We just relaxed and chatted- well as much as you can with a 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old-
and enjoyed being with family. :)

Swimming!

Land Shark....no way, Kueffer's got his shark goggles and Spider Man dive sticks and is ready to hit the pool this summer!

Watch out, Pele!

Kueffer just started soccer on Saturday. He is on a team of 2-3 year olds and, let's be honest, he was the STAR! Actually most of the kiddos were younger or wouldn't leave their parent's side that morning- except for K. :) He really loved singing the songs and practicing the drills. It was the cutest! One of the parents even told us that he was a 'leader' and another said he was 'obviously not shy'! ha!(This is Daddy being the Sleeping Dinosaur in a game that they were playing. K started out as the dino, but then wanted to play!)

After about 1/2 way through practice, Kueffer must have thought that he was ready for some real soccer action and rushed the field of another group actually having a game! He was running and kicking his ball going right for the BIG goal...close behind were Mommy and Daddy chasing him. Lucky for us, we knew some of the parents of the players on the teams he 'crashed'...thanks, Kueffer! :)We all had a fun time and can't wait to see what a soccer star Kueffer will become this summer!

Go Blue Whales!!! (His team...sounds tough, huh?!)

Farm Boy

Kueffer and Mommy went to visit Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mary Ann for a few days this week. It had been a while since we had visited and Kueffer had been saying that he wanted to 'visit the farm' for a while now, so the timing was perfect! It was obvious that it had been a while when he went inside, he complimented Grandma saying 'You have a very nice house, Grandma!'.
Grandpa had a baby calf that he has been bottle feeding, so Kueffer loved watching Papa feed the Molly every morning and at night. (He even helped Papa name her!) Kueffer's cousin, Quinten had just gotten a new horse, so we got to meet her too! Kueffer wasn't too brave with the big horse, but did hold her rope while Mommy petted her.

We had a great time and on our way back to KC,
Kueffer kept saying that he wanted to go back to Grandpa and Grandma's house!
