Burb mom and Chevy take us to NASCAR!!!

Thank you!!! Thank you !! Thank you!!!

Chevy and Burb mom!!

On Sunday, Chevy and Burbmom took us to NASCAR!!

I can't tell you how excited my kids were.

*insert screaming*

*insert jumping up and down*

and the kids were very excited too!!

The people at Chevy could not have been nicer!!!

They were great with the boys.

They played a game where you put all these tetris blocks in the back of one of their midsize SUVS. I was shocked at the room it had in the back.

Chevy had their drivers come out and do a little spill before the race. They gave this big speech about how they were not going to sign autographs.

Landry's second favorite driver is Jimmy Johnson. Well, he came out and talked and Landry wiggled his way to the front and then this happened...

Yep, that's Landry getting an autograph.

Then, because no one under 18 is allowed in the pits the boys and I tool off to explore while my dad and hubby went to the pits

They were so EXCITED!

But nothing prepared them for the excitement of....

"Gentlemen Start your Engine's!!"

This is the look I saw when I looked over at Luke..

It seemed like a good idea at the time...

So a friend calls Wednesday morning and want to know our afternoon plans..

Not much really..

Well , There is anew "skate" park that just opened up and its outside, free and the boys can bring bikes, scooter, or skateboards.

Great!! This has 3 of my favorite things..

Outside.. New.. and FREE!!!!

We are soo in! I'll be at your house a little after 3:00

Great I will make a fresh batch of pumpkin cookies.

I will bring a cooler with drinks and my NEW fancy camera these will be great action shots!

So we are suburban moms in our suburban of toys with our 3 boys, one of which is in a private school uniform. Headed to the skate park!

So we get to the skate park and my friend and I look at each other. Wow! There are a lot of people here. Oh well, come on it will be ok..

So, We find our parking spot right by the front and start unloading..

3 bikes.. check

2 skateboards .. check

2 scooters.. check..

one cooler of drinks. .. check..

Cookies.. check

New Big fancy camera.. check

So we wag all our stuff into the park..

The boys head off to have a good time..

Then we look around.. (cue scary music)

We are the only ones there with kids..

Everyone is in their late teens or early 20's.

Why aren't these people in school??

Why aren't they at their job??

Oh well, It will be fine..

Ok So we are the ONLY females there.

Uhmmm ...

Then a guy falls in front of us and lets out a stream of curse words you wouldn't hear on HBO.

( well there's bound to be one)

Then I notice there's a group smoking..

Then Another guy and some not so nice words.

Then Landry comes over and says" hey, that guy over there introduced himself to me.."

Ok that's it we are outta here!!!

Looking back I bet we were very funny. Pulling up in our suburban with our kids .. and our little cooler and home made cookies and my cross t shirt and hat. Not exactly skate park material.

Oh well .. no permanent damage done

We actually used it as a teachable moment in that this is not what God wants for his children. Playing and having fun and being outside good..smoking .. cusing.. and being 20 and hanging out there ..not good..

We also went back thru the Don't talk to strangers, don't take anything from a stranger.. blah blah blah..

They did have fun for the 10 minutes we were there. Maybe a 8:30 in the morning would be a good time to go. It's a neat concept OR someone with some $$ needs to make a skate park for ages 14 and under..

Happy Boo Y'all!!!

So Halloween has come and gone..

Christmas is just around the corner.

But I have some Way Way catching up to do before that craziness begins.

Let's start with the pumpkin patch dilema..

Flower mound has a multitude of pumpkin patches. Which one you decide to goto depends on your financial state ie: you got $10 to blow to go into a pumpkin patch or you ability to handle crowds.

No in all seriousness. There are 3 major pumpkin patches and they all have something diff to offer.

We always choose the Original pumpkin patch. And every year we take this pic. I would compare it for you to last year but that is on my computer that is at the computer hospital.This would be the constipated pumpkin
Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere!!

Gap's got nothing on us ;)

Landry has always been a very photogenic child. The camera loves him and he LOVES hamming it up for the camera. Anyone who knows him knows he is the Jim Carry. He loves to be silly, crazy and make people laugh.

What am I going to do with him..

Time slow down Please!!

As I tucked Luke in tonight and asked him what his favorite part of his birthday was and he said When he fought Darth Vader. I realized how fast the years are going by. It wasn't that long ago that I was tucking Darth in and asking him what his favorite part of the day was.

So Dear Lukie on your 6th birthday...

Please slow down.. You are growing up way to fast.

You are my homebody.. You are my kid that would love to stay home in his Jammie's all day. You are the kid that it takes a good hour from the time you wake up until you are ready to do anything . You love being homeschool and I can't imagine doing it any other way. At least for now. You are amazing.. wise beyond your years. You are my thinker.You will analyze a problem 10 different ways before acting on it. You are my puzzle kid. You love those brain puzzles the ones where your suppose to fit like 10 blocks in a big block and there is only one way to do it. You also like games of strategy.

You are great sidekick to your best friend.. Your brother..

You can be the silliest , funniest, kid int he world. You have a great sense of humor but you do like order.

You are the kid that categorizes everything. Your Lego's, your army people, your books, you make patterns out of everything. You are the one who actually like to clean the playroom!!

You keep me smiling. All I have to do is look at you in the rear view mirror and you smile at me with that toothless grin and I fall in love again. You are super easy going but funny.. You don't like to sweat. Totally cracks me up.

You tell me almost everyday." Mommy I like spending the day with you" Honey if you knew how much mommy LOVED spending the day with you!

I love you tookie.. NOW STOP GROWING!!!

RIP Bobo Fet

So .. Landry took Luke's BRAND NEW Boba Fet lego guy to school today.. With out permission.
Of course He lost it.
This of course sent Luke into a well deserved fit. I would throw a fit too if it was my one day old toy and my brother lost it.
So anyways.. Luke goes to the play room to play and comes out and says mommy I need you..
Ok..
I go back to the playroom to see Lukas Having a funeral for Boba Fet..
He has all the other lego guys on their stands and then he has a lightsaber and boba fets helmet on it.
He says look mommy its a RIP sign for bobo fet...
Aww
now its not a R.I.P. sign nope it says rip like I ripped my jeans..
Poor Bobo Fet..
