Cheify

The boys got to ride Grannie's horse Cheify. Karson didn't want to get off.

I think Kars wants to be a cowboy when he grows up.

Six Flags

Last school year Kaden worked hard and read 360 minutes for the Six Flags reading program and recieved a free ticket. We could not let his hard work go to waste. It was a level orange heat advisory day. The good news is that on the rides we rode the lines were not long at all and the most we waited for a couple of popular rides was at the most 15 minutes. Taking the boys this year was one of my favorite things we have ever done as a family.

We started off the day with this ride!

They met Batman.

Kaden's goal was to stay wet all day.

Kaden was mad he couldn't hop in the batmobile and just drive it.

We took a break and had a picnic.

I think Karson's favorite part of the day was feeding the ducks.

Love Kaden's face in this picture!

Train ride through the park.

Kaden and Karson did not want to leave the park. We almost made it to the parade but the heat got to us. So we ended the night with Steak and Shake and went home and crashed.

Rangers Game

Kaden is a true baseball fan. He loves the game. I love watching his excitment and enthusiasm at the game.

First pitch of the night!

Kademan and me.

Kaden's favorite part of the game is the dot dot race. He choose green and won!

We had a blast and the Rangers won!

Ryan Thomas is Here!!!

My nephew Ryan is here. I am such a proud aunt. He is such a cutie.

Some more pictures from our trip.

Last week my wonderful Mother- in-law also known as Grannie watched the boys so Tim and I could take a vacation. The boys had so much fun I do not even think they missed us. Thank you so much Grannie!

Our first stop was Longview for Jason and Natlie's wedding. It was beautiful and it was nice to see everybody. After the wedding we were on our way to Tennesee. We pulled an all nighter and by that I mean Tim drove and I slept. We arrived in Tennesee early the next morning. We had so much fun river rafting 2 days in a row, mountain biking, and hiking to a waterfall.

I cannot take credit for these pictures. They were taken by Lisa and I stole them from facebook with permission from her. I now know to pack disposables and actually take pictures on a trip with water and other kinds of activities that you shouldn't take a digital camera to.

This was taken before we got into the boat the first day.

I was so scared but I faced my fear and loved it.

The whole group before we hit the river.

The river in a calm part.

Me drinking Joe's mix of a lemonade and tea mixture.

Our group mountain biking.


I loved getting to know this group of people!

I had a blast and faced alot of fears. It was a great trip and I came home with so many great memories.

Water Day

Karson's class had water day. It was right outside my classroom window so I got to watch and take pictures.

The whole class was waiting on their towels. Kars looks grumpy.

There was lot of running.

Kars was the first ready to go.

Summer Plans

With Kaden out of school for the summer and some extra free time I had a list of things I wanted to do.

- Six Flags
- Splash Pad
- Toy Story 3 - Check
- Rainforest Cafe
- Ride the train to Fort Worth
- A Rangers Game
- A Longview visit

School is going to start before I know it. I have to start planning to fit all this in 1 month. We have been going to the park and library every week but thats really it. I did get some pics of some summer fun.

Karson has been trying to climb this all summer by himself and keeps trying. I still have to assist at the top. Every time he gets to the top he says "I did it".

I have enjoyed Kaden being out of school this summer it has just been flying by and its almost time to go back. I plan to make the most of this last month together with a little free time we do not get during the school year.

When we moved to the house there was an extra drawer in the bathroom that was too small to fit most items. I made it my jewelry drawer. Kars watched me put on my jewelry one day and I knew my new found favorite thing would not last long. A few days later Kars came in the livingroom like this.

After I took this picture I organized and put it in a box out of his reach.
