Home Sweet Home...we are home in Kansas...I apologize for my lack of blogging we have had  a very busy life lately. I will attempt to fill you in as a write today :)

We spent the end of our time living in West Palm Beach enjoying ourselves to the fullest...
MIAMI BEACH



 Enjoying the Million Dollar Homes tour...

Ice cream for the girls...adult beverage for us ;)

Scotty and I both agree that out of all the beaches we went to South Beach was our favorite...we want to go back some time just the two of us ;) It was a great time and we all 5 have a blast..even little man!

So...Scott was needed on the job site for an extra week...and we were already almost packed and moved out...so...we stayed in a hotel for a week...I thoguht it would be a nightmare with 3 kids but as usual we came together as a family and had a total blast....the kids were awesome :) It helped that we were at a nice Embassy Suites with swans and breakfast ;)\We did have to tell the girls that if they were to loud the "hotel coppers" would come and knock and the door...pretty hilarious and effective. ;)

                                                   Then it was time to get on the road again...


Yes we agree...its worse than the Griswalds ;)

Next stop my hometown of Louisville, KY to see some of our most favorite people on this earth...




You guessed it...GG, Uncle Steve, Catherine, and Aunt Kathy...we had a WONDERFUL visit. I am so blessed to call this group of people my family. GG the Matriarch...you did an awesome job raising your family! We love you Kentucky fam and can't wait to see you again soon!! (side note the last picture is from a fun game of balloon toss...the girls had a total blast but I think GG may have had even more fun!)

Next stop was St. Louis to see Scott's grandma and aunt I am so bummed I managed to not take pictures...I guess when you live out of a hotel for 14 dats and then travel across the country carrying a trailor on a mini van you are allowed some grace for forgetfulness? So sorry Karen and Vera!

FINALLY we made it HOME!!! Just in time for Mal to go back to her same kindergarten class and finish up the year and have her Farewell to Kindergarten program....



So those of you that are asking..."Did you cry?" I say...Do you NOT know me AT ALL? ;) Just kidding...I did tear up FOR SURE and take about 100 pictures. But I did okay. Mal is doing so awesome in school and loves it so  much it is hard to be to sad. I am just so proud of her...know I am sure you remember preschool graduation was a different story...I sobbed! Ha!

In the last week of school my little sweetie lost her first tooth and then the next day another tooth!


She also had me write a note to the tooth fairy asking if she could keep her tooth and still have money! Hilarious...she really wanted to take it to show and tell. The tooth fairy came through for her...and she looks so grown up! She also has the whole lisp thing going on getting use to a hole in her mouth ;)

Next up was time with Biiiinch...well they have actually already spent lots of time with Binch but my favortie would be THIS CLASSIC moment...


Thats right...Binch morphed into DJ Lance Rock from Yo Gabba Gabba...Aunt Lauren was nice enough to order this little get up and have it sent to Mike and he made Whit's day but showing up in it and spending lots of time dancing with her in the kitchen...no need for me to talk about how much my kids love Uncle Binch...it is very clear that they think he is AWESOME! Okay Scott and I kind of like him to ;) LOVE YOU MP!

Next up was a concert in Lawrence with Amy, Adam and Leo. we went to listen to a kids band called the Doo-Dads! We had a total blast and the kids danced themselves silly...we also had a pretty good laugh about the "shadyness" of the club it was in...no I don't mean it was shady out I mean the place was sketch...but its all good we had a blast...but Scott does want it to be noted that they actually served Hamm's Beer there and people were drinking it...hahahahah Enjoy these pics of some of my MOST FAVORITE PEOLE IN THE WORLD!!! Love you Kincaids! xoxo








Next up Whitney Grace got some new specs! They changed her prescription and she picked out  Disney princess glasses this time :) She still has her Princess Fiona glasses they put new lenses in those as well so we have a back up pair..She looks so stinkin cute! Love them!



                 Amy and I took the kids to the Funky Mama concert at Lenexa Community center. The kids were having a great time dancing and singing....



Then suddenly there was an announcement for our the children to find their mommies and we were hustled off to bunker down in the bathroom for an hour while there were tornados happening nearby...Whitney said "Mommy I hope he won't find us in here!!" through her tears...and I said "Who?" and she said "The Tomato!!" My sweet girl thought we were hiding from a big tomato...so classic and I will love that memory forever!!! She then proceeded to be concerned about Mimi's location and said "I hope he doesn't find Mimi in the church basement" Soooo sad yet sooooo hilarious! Needless to say we are all fine.









And finally in all of our recent craziness we made a quick trip to Minnesota for my cousin Caiti's High School Graduation. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed getting to visit with all my dad's family. His side of the family is really spread out all over the country and we don't get to be in one place very often...enjoy some pics...










That is the short version of \all our activities lately and I will try to do a better job of updating :) Promise! We did our final walk through with our LAST renter yesterday. After 4 years of moving all over the country we are moving home...for awhile anyway :) I never plan to far in advance...because God is really the only one who knows whats next for us. But we are SO excited to be moving back into our home!! Our painter starts later this week and when he is finished our new carpet will go in! We have lots of work to do after being out of our house for 4 years but we are excited for home projects! I promise to post before and after photos!
LOVE TO YOU ALL from.....KANSAS!!!
