Lowry Park Zoo!

Yesterday Mommy & Ms. Debbi took Bree, Kohlston & me to the ZOO! We walked hand in hand and checked out all kinds of animals, rode horses & rides, shared snacks (grapes, graham crackers, goldfish & apple juice) and even played on the zoo playground. It was hot but boy did we have fun :) Here are a few shots of us throughout the beautiful afternoon.

Kohlston & Mommy petting the horses (little man wasn't quite sure what to think).

Here we are at the petting zoo brushing the goats. Kohlston saw a small black and white goat and pointed saying "Mooooooo"! :) :) He loves cows - we pull over to Moo at them everyday on the way home from the YMCA.

I love this one! Bree is hanging on the goat posing for this pic :) Too precious!

Kai, Bree (next to Kai up front - hidden in this photo), Kohlston & Mommy goinng on the Train Ride!

Tired girls - ready for a nap!

Oh! Maybe there is enough energy for one more pose :)

and a little dancing!

Luv you Bree! See you at school today :)

Sister & Brother

We've been waiting for the day that these two would become best buds and that day has finally come. Kailey now asks me to 'keep Kohlston up' so that she can play with him. She always wants to lead by example so he can watch her and learn. If he's throwing his food on the floor she will ask me to say 'Kohlston, watch sissy' - it's adorable! GOD luv these little bugs :) We are so blessed!

I love this facial expression!
Kohlston's like 'now what, Momma' - lol!

Willis Parkus

We love you little Willis Parkus! All of our thoughts and prayers go out to you and we hope your surgery goes well on Aug. 26th. Hang in there!

All our love,
Uncle Mikey, Auntie E, Kailey, Kohlston & Cuba

On this day....

On this day of Aug. 9th, 2010 may we remember Helmuth Katz Jr. (a.k.a. Grampa Bill). Kailey and Kohlston know that you are with us every single day in spirit. We talk about you often and cherish all of our wonderful memories with you. Especially our wedding day - April 22, 2005.

FATHER and SON

Yesterday we took a trip to the beach to spend the day with you. It was filled with joy knowing that you are with us whereever we may go.

FATHER and SON

Kohlston & Daddy

Little man and his mohawk!

Kohlston was so happy to be there with you!

Kailey fell asleep on the way and rested in the car for awhile.

Soon enough our little beauty woke up and joined us for a snack.

It was peaceful afternoon.

Sleepy bug wasn't really in the mood for pictures.

The 'pose'! :)

Little man - 13 months old!

Kohlston chasing birds!

We love and miss you Grampa Bill! You are forever in our HEARTS :)

On a happy note we also want to wish Peepaw (a.k.a. Grampa Reg) a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!! He's in Italy with Gigi Terry - We can't wait to see you next week!!!

Our 3 babes!

Here are a few random pictures we snapped of Kailey, Kohlston & Cuba hanging out around the house.

Miss Kailey Von - posing just as pretty as ever :)

Mr. Kohlston Von - growing like a WEED - he's gonna be a BIG boy :) He has 14 teeth and runs around the house like he owns it (guess he does)!
He's always Mr. Happy :) (except when Momma is out of his eye sight).

Mr. Cuba Von - just as handsome as ever. Can't believe he's already 5.5 years old. He's so wonderful with the babes :)

Lovebugs cuddling on the couch!

Awwwwwwwwwww!

Coobs sharing kissels :)

The Phipps Family!

Wednesday we had the Phipps famliy over for a cookout and a little swimming! The boys cooked up a DELICIOUS brisket - check out the size of this bad boy (it cooked for about 8 hours on the charcoal grill) :) Mmmmmm YUMMY!

Cuba found his new BFF! Baillie was sooo wonderful with him. He was her appendage for most of the evening. She protected him from Addison and Kohlston.

Here's Jason getting excited for dinner :)

Katie and Kohlston hanging out!

The girls were 'camping out' underneath Kohlston's changing table - too funny! They had sooooooo much fun together.

Addy was right there with them :)

Then a little dancing to cartoons!

Dress up was also part of the evening entertainment by the girls! They think it's so fun to change into all of Kai's dresses (her room looked like a tornado went through it by the end of the night).

More outfits!

Addy & Jason

and ANOTHER outfit!!!

We had a blast! A lot of laughing, good converstion and great friends - what more could you ask for :) Can't wait to do it again!
