Chips and Dust

Well yesterday was a pretty eventful day, it started with a Field Trip to the potato chip factory that is located about 45min from our house. It was really neat, unfortunately I forgot my camera and Kiale's scanner is broken down with the remodel going on so I cannot scan the pictures that Colin's teacher took for me, but I can say that the kids loved it. We are actually going back in a couple of weeks to take Colin's birthday pictures out there they had tons of antique tractors and other farm equipment so its the perfect setting for his pictures. He loves ANYTHING John Deere or tractors!

After the field trip we headed to Lowe's to pick up a piano hinge and some insulation. I also picked out my lighting fixture for my dinning room, since the current one that we have in there is older than me! (and not in a good way)

Uncle Jimmy also came by and worked on my laundry room, it looks amazing!! He totally blew away my expectations on how it would look. I am still in awe over it!

Here is a current picture of my sweet Zoe, she is getting so big! I will take a picture of Jackson today if I think about it, but for now its off to clean out a closet and pack up Kiale's desk! I have to get my house clean and functional before I go bonkers!!

One more thing, I ordered samples of tile to put up in the kitchen, hopefully I will have them in in the next couple of days and I will show them to you!

A Day at the Circus

Today was a wonderful day. You just cannot beat a day that starts off with a trip to the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus!!! I have not been to the circus since I was very small, and this was the first trip for all three of my kids. It was magnificent, it was a very enjoyable trip. The kids behaved wonderfully. They all listened and acted correctly I didn't even have to fuss at them... we more than about 2 times each. Which for a 5 and almost 4 year old is wonderful.


After the circus we went to BabiesRUs to get Miss Grace diapers, and a new pack of pacifiers. Then we headed over to Taco Bell since it was past 2 O'clock and we were all starving! 7 soft tacos and an order of Cinninom twist later we headed over to ToysRUs since Colin wanted to look at what he wanted for his birthday. Then we concluded our day with a trip to our favorite puppy store. Overall it was a wonderful day and it makes me look forward all the more to spring break and summer break comming.

My favorite thing to do would have to be spending the day with my kids. I just love it, I cannot imagine how people do not just love spending time with their kids. I guess this is why Kiale and I want a large family so bad, our kids are just such a joy and blessing to us. I do not understand people who just cannot stand their kids and who hate to be around them... the concept of that is just so far beyond me...

me +3 & a room full of elephants!!

That's right folks we, the kids and I, are headed to the circus tomorrow!!! How awesome is that!??? We were very blessed for the second time and given tickets by an anonymous family at the school to go on the field trip. This family was also generous enough to bless each of the boys with $20 to be able to get souvenirs while we are there. Then last Friday someone else blessed us with $20 more to use during the circus. The boys and I are so excited. I know we are going to have a wonderful time!!

Sesame Street Live!!

We had decided to originally not go to Sesame Street Live due to Cayleigh-Grace being so small, and partly to financial reasons, but thankfully God blessed us with free tickets so we were able join the school on this awesome field trip. The boys were so excited about going, we decided to surprise them with the news Monday night at dinner. They were beyond ecstatic. They had such a wonderful time they wont stop talking about who all they saw at Sesame Street. They loved it!!
