Goodbye bloggers!!! I'm trying something new and would like to invite you to check it out! I can't seem to keep up with my blog, so I'm trying Shutterfly! I like to be able to just upload my pictures and not mess with all of the other stuff. It seems very similar to blogspot, but maybe a little more of what I'm looking for! We'll see how it goes! It was fun while it lasted, but I'm outta here!:)

This, that and the other...

I can't seem to keep my blog updated, so here is another round of pics...just some things we've been up to lately! My sister reminded me that it's been 10 days since my last post. Sorry Julie!:) Today was Jackson's last day of school. I think he's been looking forward to this since August! It is officially summer at our house and we plan on having a good one! Basketball camps, VBS, tennis camp, a trip to Ohio to visit my sister and plenty of pool time!


LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!
One of the parents from Jackson's class was nice enough to have a few kids over after school today. From there, they went to Time Out Corner...kind of like Chuckie Cheese, but think jungle theme and black light. They have video games and indoor miniature golf. Next time I will pre-medicate with plenty of ibuprofen...for sure!




WAITING TO RUN THE BASES!
...Sunday at the Cat's baseball game, the boys got to run the bases. They loved it!:)



Poor Carson, he got lapped!



SOCCER!
Julie...here's your picture of Carson in his soccer gear!

Josh and Jackson hanging out at soccer! I love this picture, because that is soooo Jackson...he has always loved to cuddle!:)


CARSON'S LAST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!

Of course, I couldn't get him to take a picture with his teachers, so I had to get these action shots!:)

Julie (my sister)...this one's for you!:)

Several people (Julie included) have given me a hard time lately about not updating my blog. My sister Julie enjoys seeing pics of the boys...she lives in Ohio, so she doesn't see them that often. You've gotta love technology, though. At least she can keep up with what my boys are up to and not feel like she's quite so far away. You asked for it, you got it!:) Enjoy...

Carson's preschool class took a field trip to the fire station.


Jackson went to his first sleep over!


Jacob Pullen...#0 for K-State men's basketball team...#1 on my list!:)
Just kidding...one of my favorite players to watch, though!


Dominique Sutton...#23 for K-State men's basketball team...now he's #1 on my list...he said he thinks I'm "hot"! Not sure what that was all about...I guess I was having a good night!:)


Josh Freeman...QB for K-State football team!

Open House at K-State...so much to do and so little time. Open House was the same day as all of the festivities of K-State Football Spring Game. They have so many fun things to do on campus, but we just didn't have enough time to do it all. They boys are watching the Marching Cobras (an amazing marching band from KC). Always entertaining!



The boys enjoying the Spring Game!


My boys getting autographs from my two favorite basketball players. I think they thought I was a stalker!:)

...from the Ferris Wheel! I thought this was a pretty cool pic!


Carson and me on the Bear ride at the K-State Spring Game carnival. My boys LOVE carnivals...like all kids! I didn't get any pics of Jackson on the rides...he made Josh's brother ride the Octopus, then the bears right after that. They both had upset tummys after that!


Carson and the frisky Peacock! Carson's preschool took a field trip to the zoo! The weather was great and...
...the guy giving the presentation at the beginning was even better! He had the kids acting like animals (I think they are snakes in this pic). He was very animated and did an awesome job of keeping their attention! The moms were very impressed!

THAT'S IT FOR THIS POSTING...more later!

Enlighten me, please!

Can someone please tell me why kids refuse to sleep in when there is no school? Every school day is a challenge...first, just getting the kids up and out of bed is not easy, but also dressed, fed and out the door for school...that starts early due to too many snow days! Why, when there is no school, do they decide to wake up BEFORE 7am??? I'm looking forward to this day of fighting, whining and being their servant for the day...NOT! I'm going to be especially strict and boring today, so that maybe on Monday they will be excited to get up and go to school!
Have a great weekend!

Wine Tasting at the Snowden's

Wanted to share pics from the Snowden's wine tasting. We had a sophisticated night of wine tasting and intellectual conversation! (wink, wink) You had to be there to hear some of the "non-wine tasting" conversations! Really, our friend are always a lot of fun to get together with, even if we do have a hard time keeping the guys under control! Mandy and Curtis did an awesome job hosting. They had 6 different selections of wine and food selected to complement each wine. Even Josh, who doesn't ever drink wine, admitted that he enjoyed it and actually found a wine he liked! However, I noticed that not even five minutes after the wine tasting was over, he already had a Margarita in his hand! Thanks for a great evening Mandy and Curtis! You totally outdid yourselves!

Not quite Hello Kitty!

Tonight is the Amanda Arnold Carnival. A friend of mine made an adorable Hello Kitty cake for the cakewalk (hence the title), but the boys and I took the "semi-homemade" approach. We bought a frosted cake from Dillons and decorated it with licorice and mini M&Ms. I just wanted to sprinkle it with little M&Ms, but Jackson insisted on a pattern, of course. Anyway, it ended up being me that decorated it while Jackson gave directions. All in all, it was fun.

Watch out David Beckham!

Ok...so David Beckham probably won't be intimidated by my little 4 year old!:) Carson started soccer last night, so I thought I'd share some pics! He thinks he pretty big stuff now! He has a couple of little friends that play as well, so I think it was nice for him to see a familiar face out there. Of course, it was absolutely freezing last night, but Carson hung in there and had a blast! I guess it wouldn't be Spring Soccer Season without a little drizzle and 40 degree temps!
