Lots of Fun Stuff

wow! it's been awhile since I've updated here..... where does the time go????

Well, first I have to share some pictures of my new sweet niece Zoe. She was born on Monday. Justin and I and the boys made a quick trip to Kansas to visit and I'm so glad we did. She is such a doll and it was so good to see Wes and Robin again. We miss you guys terribly! Here are some of the photos we got.


finally a photo with all the grandkids. Yeah!

I don't think Hayden knows quite what to think about baby Zoe.




Isn't she sweet? I love the one of her "smiling".

Let's see... what else have we been up to...
Tonight we went to a surprise birthday party for one of my best friends, Erika. She turns 30 tomorrow! Wow - we're getting old. :)
The party was so much fun and I loved the look on her face when she got there.

Tomorrow we are headed to the bowling alley with a bunch of friends. Roland has become a "Master Bowler" in the Wii world and we think it's time to show him what real bowling is like. He completely cracks me up when he is using his Wii technique. I have no idea how he does it but he has been bowling around a 180 average. When I tried to mimic his "technique" I ended up throwing out my shoulder. It's been sore for 6 days now! I am so out of shape. :)

I've also got several layouts to share.

First I have a layout that I made using those fun park pictures from my last post.





Next is one of my favorite layouts ever. I finally got to scrap some of Roland's photography.




and lastly I did a fun page with some of the other park pictures.


don't you just love that Dr. Seuss quote. This is so perfect for Ro!

Well, that's it for tonight.

I'm never leaving home without my camera again.....

This afternoon the boys and I went to our neighborhood park. On the way out the door I thought

"hmmm... is it worth taking the camera? sure - why not!"

Boy am I glad I did. I got some of the best pictures of the boys today. The sky was so beautiful and the sun was perfect. The best part happened as we were about to leave. This little boy walked up to us and asked if we'd like to see his new baby ducks. Oh they were so cute! Hayden didn't know what to think at first but once he did he just started making his cute little quack sound over and over. Both boys got to pet them and it was just so fun. Of course - I had my camera so I got the whole thing on film. Yeah! Well that's my excitement for today. Wow - that's pretty bad when I get this excited about seeing a baby duck. LOL!

Roland is just amazing me all the time now. That boy is smart! I know I'm his momma and that I might be a little biased but he just blows me away with the things he comes up with. Yesterday on the way home from school he started talking about how it makes him sad that his friends and teachers at school don't talk about God. He said it made him really sad and that he wanted to go to a school that "Blesses God". Wow! My heart just fell. We've been contemplating schools for Kindergarten and I think this may have answered a lot of our questions. I have been praying that God would send me a "Clear" message as to what to do and I can't help but this this is that clear answer.

One other funny Roland thing - right before bed tonight he told Justin a new joke.


What do you call a frog with four wheels?


A Toad Truck!


We were cracking up - it's actually really funny! Maybe he got the pun gene from his grandad.

Well that's it for tonight. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
