Happy Birthday Dad!

Have a good one Dad!

The Countdown Begins...5 More Days!

Some football memories from 2007...can't wait for the weekend!

Every Boy's Dream

We have passed by a hundred Build-A-Bear Workshops in Gavin's 10 years of life and his mean mom would never let him go in and make a bear...knowing it will end up in the goodwill pile within a week...and it would end up costing me a hundred bucks when it was all said and done. Well, this weekend in Branson, they had a store called RideMakerz. It is basically Build-A-Bear only instead of stuffed animals, you are making a remote control car. Gavin was in HEAVEN!! He got to pick out the body style, tires, rims, motor, pipes, spoiler...the list is endless. Then they let you put it all together, make a personalized license plate, and give you a title. He had a blast! Here is his finished product! Thank goodness there isn't one of these close to Hays...I am sure it is only a matter of time.

Happy Birthday Big Sista!!

I will have a drink for you tonight!! Hope you have a great day...if that is possible with a room full of 5 year olds!

Griffin's First Day of Preschool

He insisted on carrying his backpack which was heavy from the 2 reams of paper...
He got to sit next to his friend Peyton who used to attend my daycare!

He also got to sit by Madi, whose Mom Jill has been one of my best friends my whole life! I can't believe our babies are old enough to go to school together.

I assumed there would be tears...not from Griffin, but from me. I held it together! He was so excited when he got out he couldn't wait to go back. Next week starts their full time schedule with uniforms so I hope he continues to enjoy it as much as he did today!

Slip and Slide...

The G's~Griffin, Giana and Gavin

The slide at Big Cedar Lodge catches you by surprise, it looks harmless but packs a punch! Here are a few dramatic exits by the boys.

Silver Dollar City

Here is Gavin being launched on the PowderKeg ride. From 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds!
Griffin milking the cow...he wasn't interested in the milk since it wasn't chocolate.

We had a blast at Silver Dollar City yesterday! There were no lines...since most kids are in school except for the crazy parents who take their kids out of school on the 3rd day for vacation! It was perfect weather too! We can't wait to go back again.
