More pics....

It was mine and Andras bday again! My sister was telling me that her and I have a picture like this, with our crowns on our shared bday, since she was one!! I LOVE THAT!! Pretty soon, she won't think I am cool enough to do this with:)

A boy and his dog......
I thought Makenzie had a special bond with Stanley, but NO. Mason and Stanley are a whole different level. It is so cute.

COOKIE DOUGH TIME!!!:)

My little gangster with his sidewalk chalk......

More pics... in VERY late, and VERY random order:)

I think I have to go to just one blog.... I have a hard enough time keeping up to date with just one. We will see...
So here are some early Summer pics. Easter, friends, etc... Enjoy:)

A boy and his Truck:)

New wagon, and we got some slave labor:) Sucks to be the older kids!

Um..Doesn't this thing go faster? This sucks.

Hair cut time!!! Thanks Aunt Kimberly!
With a neck like his, you have to check:)
Loves Mommy....
Not so much Aunt Kimberly... she took one for the team on this one. He loved her again in about 30 seconds.:)


Her Uncle Dave (who travels ALOT because he is in the Marines) sent her this dress from Vietnam. He told her the princesses wear them there, so she should have one. She LOVEDDDD it! Top notch Uncle!
This is him. A few months later when he came to town, he took Makenzie on a date. He took her to the musical South Pacific at the Morrison Center, out to a fancy dinner and dessert. She had the best time and still talks about it, and her Uncle. He told her to get all dressed up and he put a suit and tie on and this is when they came home that night, about 1130:)

Old McDonal Had a......


Well, we had cows and more cows is all.... but it was SO much fun. This was Makenzie's field trip last week to a dairy farm. It was SOOO cold and windy, but the kids loved it.
This one's for the ladies reading this:) Thought you would like to see how it could get worse:)


Here Kenz got to feed some of the new babies. That was of course the best thing ever for her. One really took a liking to her and wanted to like her all day.... Yum!


Thats right! My baby wanted to drive the tractor just like all the boys:) Love it!


Here she is, all dirty, smelling like cow and loving it. She is for sure a girly-girl, BUT can get dirty just like the boys:) We came home cold and smelling SOOOO bad. Three days later her hair still smelled like dairy cows. It was awesome:)

Dancing, Tackles, Boxes - Oh My!

Weird title, but again you are getting a broad spectrum of pics. I just can't seem to stay on top of my life:)
Here are my kiddos, dancing away. They LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to dance to loud fun music with us and run around. Sometimes they hold hands and love each other, other times they chase each other. Either way, it makes for some awesome fun in the Banning house:)
DISCLAIMER - Makenzie picked out this outfit all by herself...and asked for her hair that way:) Nice huh?:)

Not sure what move Mason was doing here:) Must be a guy thing.

Cutest babies ever.... :)

Man do they LOVE to tackle Dad!! He is such a good sport about it.

THE BOX... This dumb box was the best thing my kids have ever played in, or at least they thought so. Goes to show that the saying is true about letting them play with the box:) After 3 days, I made Drew get rid of it...it was SO DANG BIG I couldn't stand it anymore:)

She is just so easy to shoot, always ready for a picture:) I call this her Lock-Jaw look:)

Fun with Friends and Family

We were lucky enough to get a day of sunshine a while back:) so we invited some friends over to play. Here are my kiddos on our ghetto slide. They don't know any different, so they love it.

We also got to go watch my neice Andra practice her dance at school. My kids had a great time watching, and playing with Aunt Corinna...Thanks Corinna!!:) You were a lot of help!
