August 2009

Well, August has come and gone and we’ve been pretty busy here in the Kershner household, but then again, what else would one expect?!!! 

The first big celebration in August was Abigail’s FIRST BIRTHDAY!! Can you believe she’s ONE already?  We had a fun little party for Abigail where my friend, Angie, made what I think are some of the BEST cupcakes and cookies that I’ve ever had. 

It is hard to believe that just a year ago, we brought Ab home and that she became so much a part of our family that things would be so different without her around.  We love our Abigail!

Abigail had a wonderful day and thanks to all of you who came and helped the day to be so special for all of us.  It definitely has been an eventful year with her and we truly are richly blessed…

 

Soo… after celebrating Ms. Abigail Renee, we did all sorts of things to get ready to start back to school… I took the kids to COSI with a family of Zach’s friend Curtis, and just realized that I didn’t even get a photo with the 2 of them- BAD MOM!!! On the other hand, there are some more of my kiddos.  They had a blast. 

One of the funny things that we discovered while we were there is this whole water area where kids can play in various water activities.. It’s set up like a lost cave of Posiden or something.  We’ve been to COSI like a half dozen times and this was our FIRST time even knowing this part of COSI even existed! 

Cosi has a static show that they do and thy have the kids line up and show how kids conduct electricity.  There Zach is getting the ‘shock’…

Abigail is a Kershner!  She LOVES the water table and was quite content to just sit there for 30 minutes and play…

 

 

No- Zach is not in Egypt, but a mummy from Egypt was at COSI and this is part of the exhibit where you were allowed to take photos.  I learned the hard way from the not very nice security man that there are other parts you are NOT allowed to take pictures in.. oh well- there is probably some horrid curse that is going to come upon me from the mummy…. ha!

Hannah insisting on riding Sidesaddle like a proper young lady… no idea where she learned that- wasn’t me.

 

 

 

So, COSI, as usual was fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.  Drive back, ehh.  Little long, but all in all we survived!

So, this leads up to the annual Kings Island trip right before school.  Abigail got pretty sick, so I joined up with the kiddos after 6 (and by the way on weeknights after 6- there is hardly anyone there- I got my $25 bucks worth!)… and had a wonderful time with my family.  Just sad Brian and Ab couldn’t make it :(…

The Wild Thornberry’s Log Flume- at 9:15 at night- not so much fun, especially after being told repeatedly that I wouldn’t get wet.  Does it not look like I got a bit wet to anyone else?!!!

 

All this leading up to the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! Yay!!!
