The Circus

The Circus came to town!!!!

The first thing Danika wanted to do was ride on the camel!! The girl has no fear!!

Colben being Colben; all he wanted to do was go down the bouncy slide!

Before the show started.. we could basically sit anywhere we wanted so we thought these would be great seats!

He's blindfolded people- now that's real talent!!

This guy was so flexible it hurt just watching!

He was able to put his whole body in this box. He also was able to put his whole body through a tennis racket (without the strings of course!)

I thought this was going to be A LOT cooler than it was. Basically the guy rode the bike across the wire (there was NO way the bike was going to fall off or anything) and some lady sat on a bar.

It got a little better....

He then did some tweaks to his bike and started swinging from side to side until he went completely around... that got a smile from Colben.

The flying trapeze... this was actually kinda cool!

Let me preface this by saying I have mixed feelings about the whole "animal abuse" issue. I did feel bad for the elephants but do I think they're being abused?? I don't know.

I guess for now i'll just have to take the stance of it being entertainment for my children.

Danika really wanted to ride the little horsies so we did that on the way out.
As we left the fair grounds there were a bunch of people with their picket signs complaining that those that paid for the circus were actually financially helping the abuse of circus animals. The kids saw this and the ride home was spent by me trying to explain how some people feel that animals shouldn't be in circus's and that they're sometimes abused....The whole concept was completely lost on them and i'm okay with that!!!

Easter Sunday

EASTER

Ben bought goodies for the kids and their grandparents had sent them cute cards.

Danika wanted her egg hunt to be inside and Colben wanted his to be outside so while I hid the eggs for Danika inside Ben went outside and hid Colben's eggs.

Ben got really creative!!

After the hunts the kids opened their packages and it was a chocolate covered waffle cone with yummy chocolate eggs inside- it looked like a nest!!

Our Love for all things Motorcycles!!

SUPERCROSS!!!!

The day before the race I took the kids to a bike dealership in town to get some riders' autographs and we brought along some stuff to have them sign that we've had in our game room. We had a fender from Ryan Dungey so he signed that along with posters (that he personalized with the kids' names- even Danika!) we had him sign a Rockstar Energy drink too!! He has offically replaced Ricky Carmichael as my favorite rider- he's soooo nice and is a great rider!
He won the race the next night too!!

Ryan Sipes

Blake Baggett- he won the Lites class the next night so kinda cool that the kids got their picture taken with him and autograph!!

We invited our great friends, the Ryters, to come with us so I had to get a pic of the boys watching the race!!

This was the first race at the new Cowboy Stadium so a lot of the riders had on Cowboy jerseys. This is Ryan Villapoto coming out as they announced him.

We had some great hook-ups that allowed us to go into the pits after the race so we braved the weather (it was a blizzard) and walked around. We brought a front number plate from Ivan Tedesco's bike that we got last year and we were lucky enough to catch him and get it autographed. This is Colben in front of his bike.

Colben and Ivan- he's a lot shorter than I though he would be.

Dallas Aquarium

Fun at the Dallas Aquarium!!

Right after this picture a bird pooped on D's head, we got it all cleaned up but it sure was gross!

Shark Tank!!

I braved the crowds and went during our Spring Break and i'm so glad I don't have to go again for about a year!!!

Fun Run!!

FUN RUN!!

Colben, Dillon and Keeley before the run!!

There were so many kids coming through the volunteers had to just start making tally marks anywhere they could on the shirt.

All in all Colben ran about 40 laps- he actually ran probably 30 of those laps and walked maybe 5 of them and the rest were either done by dancing, congo line or singing.

Thank you to all those who pledged Colben on his laps!!!

Big D turns 4!!!

DANIKA TURNS 4!!!!

She got her ears pierced about 6 weeks before so we got her lots of new earring to wear!!

Barbie Socks!!!

This cake took us about 3 weeks to eat it was sooo big!!!

Stuff from February

I went to Florida for a Scentsy World Tour Stop and stayed at a Beach House. It literally was right in front of the beach. The room I slept in was in the front of the house so I could hear the waves all night!!

That's not to say it was warm but it was still beautiful!!

Tallahassee World Tour Stop. Me and some of my good friends!

Sorry for the blurry picture. These are my first of many Florida consultants. Caron who is in the purple shirt is growing her business down there and i'm really excited for her!!
