Victoria's trip to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum-8/30/07

 

 

 

Cate and Victoria enjoyed some special time at the Art Museum on a Thursday evening catching a performance/lecture in conjunction with the KC Ballet. Then we browsed the old building, had some cookies at Rozelle Court Restaurant (mom's favorite restaurant spot), then browsed the new Bloch Building and admired all of the really cool details...including the outdoor sculpture called 1 Sun/34 Moons (the sun is the sculpture in the center and the moons act as both lit circles in the water at dark and skylights to the garage below during the day).

Rawson's goofy sleep habits

 

Can you believe the positions in which kids can fall asleep?

Fun in the fountains-8/17/07

 

 

 

 

While Brendon was out of town racing, Cate and the kids enjoyed the huge water fountains at Crown Center on a Friday evening. It's so fun to be able to finally watch all 3 kids play on their own together!

Partied too hard

 

Victoria attended a 4th birthday party for a neighbor and later fell asleep right before dinner while sitting at the dining room table. ADORABLE!

Operation Backpack-8/4/07

 

 

 

The Jenks participated in their 1st ministry/service project. We joined many others from our church and other churches to help assemble 6,000 backpacks for children in Kansas City. Victoria and Rawson probably filled 25 each---not too bad before enjoying a muffin and juice afterwards. Great Saturday activity!

Thorncrown Chapel

 

Brendon and I got to take a walk down memory lane just before leaving Eureka Springs. If you remember, we spent 2 nights in E.S. for our honeymoon 10 years ago. Thorncrown Chapel by Faye Jones, in the background, was one of the architectural masterpieces we were able to see. We didn't get to go in this time with 3 kids falling asleep in the car, but we found a couple (celebrating their one year anniversary :)) to take our picture.

Jenks' 1st Camping Trip

Well, we've finally camped! We took the opportunity to camp at Brendon's first race this season at Eureka Springs. He ended up finishing second (to our friend Tige, nonetheless---we drove down from KC and camped with them). We had a great time with Tige, Vickie and their kids, Griffin and Amelia. Of course, Pam & Jerry camped with us and drove in from St. Louis with all the camping gear and a ton of food. Thanks to Jerry for cooking breakfasts, including CAMPFIRE DONUTS!!!
