Trip to Lawrence

I took Drew up to Lawrence to see my sister on her birthday. We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed seeing my nephews. I just wanted to share a couple stories about them. Brandon, who is three is learning just how to pull on my heart. First of all I was reading him stories and he wanted me to read again, I told him that I was done reading and he said, "but I want to show you something because I love you"... he opened the book that he was wanting me to read. "because I love you" I would have done just about anything he wanted at that point. Then later we were at dinner and he looked at me so sweetly and said, "Mindy... we are family". He is sooo much fun.
Now to Kyle... he is 12 months old and he spends more time with his mom than anyone else. We are all excited if he lets us hold him. Well at one point while I was there I had a banana and I was feeding it to Kyle. He just started hugging me and snuggling up to me between each bite. I was so pumped. Then when the banana was gone, so was he! :) Next time I will take more than one banana. I have found his weakness.
Here are some photos from our trip to the petting zoo. Thanks Sikes Family!

Drew would chase the goats around and then when they turned around to look at him he would get all shy.

Drew loved feeding the goats. He would just giggle as they took the food. A couple times he tried to eat the food but I prevented that from happening.

Here is Brandon feeding the goat. He was a little worried about feeding them.

Kyle and Drew having a little snack together.

Kyle loved feeding them too.
