Cousin Jakob

Will's cousin Jakob loved to hold him.
He really enjoyed having the baby around this weekend.

Kansas City Zoo

We made a trip to the Zoo.  The weather was perfect and all of the animals were out and about.  Doug and William rode the boat across to Africa while the rest of us rode the skyline. We were excited to learn that the baby giraffe was born on 8/4/12.  She and William share the same birthday!

Oklahoma Joe's BBQ

William's First KC BBQ

We went to Oklahoma Joe's for lunch.  It is the only BBQ that his mom enjoys.
Dad was envious!

Deanna Rose Farm

We had a fun day at Deanna Rose.  Jakob fed some milk to the goats.  Those goats were aggressive.  More than one kid was crying as the goats tried to eat their shirts.  Jakob enjoyed riding the little John Deere tractors.  He didn't know that Grandpa brought one from Langdon.  He got to ride one later that day when they went back to the house.

The Nygaards

The Nygaards came to visit us this week.  Aunt Michelle and Cousin Jakob met Will for the first time.

1st Day of Kindergarten

Louis's first day of Kindergarten was on Tuesday.  He had a fun day.  

I love his backpack!  Fun choice Louis!

Grandpa Darrel

Grandpa Darrel came to visit. Will was awake for a few minutes until he fell into a restful sleep.

Daddy Time

Cristine and Renae

Thanks for coming to visit Cristine and Renae.  Can't wait to play in the sand at volleyball with you!

The Franz Family

Maggie, Derek, Madison, and Cameron came to visit and meet Will over the weekend.

Plants vs Zombies

Zombies are popular amongst the Dienhart boys.  I think the first movie I watched with Doug in his apartment was a zombie flick.  Sundays during part of the year are dedicated to football and The Walking Dead.  Then this summer Doug discovered the Plants vs Zombies online game.  Apparently it is highly addictive.  Now Louis has only P vs Z on the brain.  At least he is learning math.  Maybe we can talk to his teachers and have them count in suns.  Louis know that 4 suns give him $100.

I wish I had better photography skills.  Here is Will sleeping with the snake Polly made him on the blanket that Kelley made him.  So cute.

My first photo shoot

 A sweet girl at the hospital took some adorable picture of Will the last morning we were there.  More to come later.

Hi Aunt Sue and Uncle Tim

Hi!

Aunt Sue and Uncle Tim sent Mom's favorite outfits.  I wear them almost every day.

check out my hair

Check out my hair. All the nurses were talking about it in the hospital. 

First Bath

Today I had my first bath.  I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it.  I was just trying to figure out what was happening.  The best part was getting wrapped up in the turtle towel that Mary and Ron bought me.

Aunt Mary and Uncle Ron

Aunt Mary and Uncle Ron visited us in the hospital...twice!  They brought us a super present.  Ron's taste in technology is awesome.  Big Brother Louis likes to watch Will on the video monitor you picked out for us. 

Big Brother

Louis thinks Will is cute.  He likes to watch him on the video monitor.  I wonder how cute he will think he is when he starts trying to eat his cars. 

Bear

Will was spoiled by friends and family.  Here he is in a cute little outfit from the Schatteles family.

Swing

Dad putting a jungle swing together.   This is sure to be a favorite place to hang out...especially when I am a little bigger.  Mom will love it too.

Smile

Gotta love a gassy smile.

Grandma Susan

Grandma Susan left North Dakota at the crack of dawn on Saturday and made the long 12 hour drive to Kansas to meet Will.  She was lucky to be holding him as he filled his first poopy diaper and she happily changed it.  Gotta love Grandmas!

Baby Will

Welcome to the outside world William John Dienhart.  Mom, Dad and Big Brother were happily surprised to meet Will on Saturday, August 4th at 6:05.  Well Louis met him later that day. Everyone needed their sleep...especially the boys.  : )
