Lake Winnie



Last Thursday Shea and I took the boys to Lake Winnie. They all had a blast, and honestly, so did Shea and I. Carter and Peyton showed no fear, riding the craziest gravity defying, Tilt-a-whirl type rides several times in a row. Hunter had some problems with heights. He wasn't able to climb up the really high stairs going to some of the rides. He was one inch too short to ride several of the bigger "thrill" rides, and I don't think he minded one bit! Collin took a little persuading, but ended up riding some of the bigger rides more than once. Graham was quite cranky in the morning, but once we got him on a ride, he was begging to "do it again"!


We pretty much spent the entire day there. We made it back to the house just in time for supper. Thank goodness for Papa Johns. We were exhausted! The boys are already begging to go back. I wouldn't mind at all. I think it would be fun to go back in the evening. I'll bet it looks cool at night, all lit up like a carnival!

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me. Then I got a stick, opened up all the doors and yelled at him to try to scare him out. He just ran behind the seat and hid in the back. When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
