Last minute road trip

Last week I decided to take the kids to Springfield for the week. Karsten ended up working some extra shifts and I was getting stir crazy as were the kids. We needed a change of scenery!


One night we decided to make hamburgers on the grill, french fries, and chocolate milkshakes for dinner.....yummy!


Mom gave Kellen a chef's apron that is embroidered Chef Slater. Kellen loved it and took his job very seriously being the taste tester.



On another note: does anyone else ever get tired of cleaning up these horrible messes!!??

The pictures don't even do it justice!

Kobe had a basketball game on saturday morning and we went to see him play. Kellen was so excited to see Kobe play ball and on the way home he said "Mom, that was so cool!!" When Kobe sat on the bench for a rest Kellen ran over there to sit next to him. It was so cute. He even tried to get into their huddle in between quarters - I had to pull him out of it.

Overall we had an uneventfull trip. I'm so glad we got out of the house for awhile though. Next trip will be when baby ____ Anderson decides to show up!! (I can't say the name).
