Concert update

Ben got the boys front row with bracelets and all. I thought that was way cool. I asked him how he managed that. He just said he knows people *rolls eyes*. The kids really enjoyed it.
BUT omgosh, we (Arkansas peeps) freaked the band out. Not everyone knows about the hog call and at the end of it the crowd did it. they were like what the heck?!?!?! was that. Seriously, over the mic they were saying what the #*I#&(* was that, LOL. I guess they won't be back, lol.

Foo Fighters

This is the concert Thomas and a friend are going to that Ben is working at. Ben was joking and told him today that it wasn't actualy going to be the Foo Fighters but it was going to be the Kung-Foo Fighters........ LOL. and I said nooooooooo It's gonna be the Sun Spots. LMBO!! ok, you have to be a Union Plaza(Las Vegas) junkie to get the last part.

They are a Filipino lounge act that played (plays???) at the Plaza. They were good. :)

Summer Vacation

This year we are going to Branson and staying at the Grand Country Inn We have it planned for 4 days and they have an indoor/outdoor water park that you can use as much as you want and we get a two day pass to Silver Dollar City. Plus miniature golf passes and a bunch of free meals. I think we figured it out that we'd only end paying for a meal on the day we left. Then after we leave there we'll head on over to Mountain View for some fishing and to visit Betty at the cemetery.
Last year we were going to go to the Nickelodeon hotel in Fl but my mom got sick and we spent our vacation there so we had planned on going this summer, but when we called to make reservations the prices had tripled since last yr. (crazy) I think we found something just as exciting, maybe even more exciting for the kids and a heckofa lot cheaper.

T-ball and Baseball

It's getting that time. I got an email from Kaitlens coach. Her practice starts in March and is 3 days a week and Then Ben got a call tonight from Codys coach that his practice will be starting in a couple weeks. His is 2 nights a week and Ben will help coach the team. Ben is real excited. The coach for Cody is a firefighter and Ben sees him a lot and they get along real well, actually i think he also works part time PD for the town we live in. His wife is actually pg with their 3rd boy. His son and Cody have played together for the last 2 yrs. Codys and kaitlen practices only overlap on one practice. Not two bad. Plus the reason K's coach has 3 a week is in hopes you can make two of the practices.

Dawg, Where's my truck?

Ka-ute story......
AZUSA, California - Doggone it, my truck's gone!
Police said Charles McCowan parked his pickup in front of a mini-mart Wednesday, leaving his 80-pound Boxer Max in the passenger seat. When he came out, the truck and Max were gone.
McCowan called police, assuming the truck had been stolen. When officers arrived, they found the pickup across the street in a fast-food parking lot but had no idea how it got there. In security video shown Thursday on KCAL-TV, the truck can be seen rolling backward out of the store lot and across the street, threading its way through traffic and out of view.
Police said that after McCowan left the truck, Max knocked the vehicle out of gear and sent it rolling backward.
Both Max and the truck emerged without a scratch.

Kaitlens bow

That Ashley made!!

The Super Bowl Shuffle:The Bears

LOL, way too funny. There was an 80's survey on Myspace and it asked who did the Superbowl Shuffle. i knew The Fridge was in it, William Perry, but I didn't know the team...... Here it is. umm, white boy can't dance.

When Cody grows up

He wants so be a Medical Examiner :s Like Dr. G. We have known he wants to be a Doctor, we just never knew what kind. Ben says we won't be eating at his house, lol. If i know Cody i actually think he will work more behind the scene. Like with cells and viruses, Pathology stuff. I def don't see him in an office setting with coughing kids and hypochondriac adults. In 10 yrs i'll update you when I send him off to College.

Some Bunny Loves Matth"ewe"

Matthew had fun playing with Beau tonight. Everyone was asleep and I was getting Abbie to sleep and him and the rabbit kept snuggling and playing.

Oh, the band-aid was because Matthew said he was bleeding. (not really) I don't think it hurt coming off but i did it fast and while i was petting him.

Did i ever tell you he was 12#'s at the vet?

Like a dog.

The crumb fairy???

I decided i should vacuum under the couch cushions. I was a bit surprised at all the crumbs because no one is aloud to eat on the couch especially the kids. So were did they come from? I know there's a gremlin that steals ONE sock, but is there a crumb fairy. Now if I asked the kids who has been eating on the couch I'm sure it would come down to the one child i did not give birth to. He goes by the name "Not Me"

Bandana outfit

This is the older girl version of Lilys halter/bloomer set. Bandana pants and a halter top. I made the pant back when i did Lilys but just got around to doing the top today.
