Makenzie's 9th birthday!

This year Makenzie wanted a Little House on the Prairie birthday party. I tried to get the field at the church and any of the picnic areas in our town so we could play games and have a "prairie" look but everything was already booked up so I finally thought about Will Rogers Birthplace and it was PERFECT! I think everyone had a good time, we played potato sack races, bobbed for apples, made some whirligig toys, some kids wore their prairie dresses, and we petted and fed the animals, we also had an AWESOME, AMAZING log cabin cake that Aunt Connie made for Kenzie. To view more of her cakes or to order one click here and not only do the cakes look amazing they taste WONDERFUL!!!!

Kenzie was so happy that we had a bunch of family and a lot of her girlfriends at the party!!! Enjoy our take on Little House on the Prairie!

Since I was so busy with the JBF sale (see previous post) I didn't have time to post last week so here is the week in review.





My sis in law came into town and I hardly got to see her due to working all the time buy my wonderful husband took the kids to see her several times during the week, the kids finished up their 7 week course at our church. Makenzie's Kid U course was soccer and Kylan's was Outdoor Adventure the next 7 weeks they are going to be taking martial arts and they are super excited and can't wait!





The kids started hip hop class but when we got to class the teacher was sick so it was canceled so today is actually their first day.





The library had a zoo docent come and talk about pond life animals.





Kellee (my sis) and her kids came to play one day.





My mom found us a free used desk for Kylan and some dividers that they use in offices for our school room.





I broke my toe and then 3 days later I twisted my ankle again and it's almost totally black on one side! YUCK!!!





Coop was fun and the kids made piggie pizza's in cooking class.





We had a vision screening for our homeschool group and Kylan passed but Kenzie didn't so it looks like glasses are in her future!





Kylan was asked to me Makenzie's escort for the Owasso Band Homecoming court. Makenzie was asked to be the little flower girl princess and her escort backed out so they asked Kylan. We went and got him fitted for his tux and I told him you sure do look handsome and he said, "I know". Wish I had that much self confidence!!!





We celebrated Sierra's(our niece) birthday while she's in town.





Kevin's parents had their 4 kids together so they had them choose items that were from Grandma and Grandpa Wedemeyer's house. We heard some great memories from that session.





This was the last week our church is going to be in the gym next week we will be in the actual sanctuary that was re-modeled.





Oh, I forgot that we also went back to Will Roger's Bithplace and had a picnic and small field trip with some homeschool friends.





This is a typical week in the Wedemeyer house but I usually am not entering tags for the JBF sale so that made it even more crazy then normal and in between all of this we have to do school!

Will Rogers Birthplace

Yesterday my sister called and wanted to go on a field trip to a museum today. I have been really wanting to go visit Will Rogers Birthplace but didn't really want to go by myself so it was the perfect opportunity (of course this is not a museum but read more to find out about the museum). So, the kids and I had a dentist appt first thing this morning and we are happy to report NO CAVITIES!!! OK, let's get back on track with this field trip story....she showed up around noon and we loaded the kids up and headed to Will Roger Birthplace. First thing we see when we are driving in is the cutest donkey and he's stubborn like all good donkeys should be and walks straight toward us in the middle of the road. We notice 2 big, bright yellow school buses and realize that a Tulsa school has a field trip also. We walk through the house and then out to pet the animals when the school calls all of their kids together and has the field trip picture and then lines all these 2nd graders up and puts them on the buses and they leave. YEAH, we have the whole place to ourselves. The kids all pose for the required (by mommy) photos and have a grand old time feeding pears and leaves to the horses, donkeys, and adorable goats!!! By this time it's only about 1:30 and we were really hoping for a longer field trip so we head off to Claremore to tour the Will Rogers Memorial Museum .
