Chiefs Fans 4 Life

09.29.14

NFL Monday Night Football

in Arrowhead Stadium

Kansas City 

Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots

We Smoked Em'!

I think our family of 5 is the largest KC Chiefs Fan Club

in the state where we live.

So We brought them to Kansas City 

for the Monday Night Football Game.

We had Great Seats,

Great Crowd around Us,

Broke the Decimal Level for 

the "Loudest Stadium",

and Pulled out a WIN.

Could it have been any Better?!

No Way

Kansas City Here We Come

09.25.14

We surprised our Kids with a trip to Kansas City,

to see the place where their Dad grew up,

but most Excitedly-

to attend a Monday Night Football KC Chiefs Game!

A run down of things we did during our visit:

This Place was Packed! 

It was actually in a Gas Station,

and the Line was Long,

because Everyone wants their BBQ Ribs!

We went to the Kansas City Public Library-

I had wanted to see this Ginormous Facade of Books

that lines the Side of the Parking Garage for the Library-

pretty cool!

Also,

there was a life size set of chess on the roof of the KC

Library, and you can move them,

so we played a fun game of family chess!

Of course,

being KC Chiefs Fans,

Spouse was super excited to see 

Chiefs Merchandise Everywhere!

We attended the High School Homecoming game

of Husband's Alma Mater

and got to meet lots of his old friends.

We spent a day at 

Worlds of Fun

And this little ice cream shop,

 in this little town

where Husband grew up,

is always a must-stop!

Look Who's 12!

[That's My Baby turning 12]

We waited a long time to get to have this baby,

and my heart ached so much

that I thought it would smother me.

Then we finally got pregnant.

And had a baby.

And now he's 12.

Love this Guy.

Fund Raising

I'm on the PTA Board
at our Kids' School, over Fund Raising.

We Hosted a Fun Run for the Kids!

Because our Kids are in a school that is year-round,

to give ALL the kids

the opportunity to participate in things like this,

every event has to be held twice- about two weeks apart.

So two kick-off Assemblies 

and two days of doing the Actual Fun Run.

It was a lot of work,

busy and stressful,

but it was a lot of FUN,

and it went really well!

My favorite, favorite part,

was on the last day of the Fun Run- 

our last class was a 

Special Needs Class,

I just loved how they loved the Running-

even though it was difficult,

I loved how happy and content they were,

sitting on the ground, in the warm sun,

eating their post run snacks.

They sang a song for me,

and asked if I could come to class with them.

They took my heart home with them.

It was a perfect ending.

New Orleans, LA

We got to spend a week in New Orleans
at a Convention for Husband's Business-
Where He and His Partners
were awarded a National award!

{Fancy Us at Fancy Party Night}

We Also got to do lots of New Orleans Things:

Swamp Tour and Alligator-ing

Beignets at Cafe Du Monde

Yummy Eats at Cute Cafes in the French Quarter

Nights of Jazzy New Orleans Blues

Eating Alligator Tail

And Exploring the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1

on a very smoldering hot afternoon.

Lets Go to the Beach!

09.06.2014

Spent a Sunny Fall Afternoon 

at the at the Beach made at a nearby Reservoir.

Yah, 

that's about as Beachy as you get in a Landlocked State-

but, 

We'll take it!
