Just for Fun!!!!

We just got a new experiment book from the Scholastic book order from school! Drew has been looking through it finding really fun things to try!
We thought we'd start with this one! Soap Monsters!! All you need is a soap bar and a microwave! Easy!!

Once the soap melts (two minutes in the microwave on high) - find some little things to make faces...or whatever! Here's my try!! Cute!

Now it's Drew's turn to tear it apart and see what he can make!! The different shapes are sooo much fun!

This was a fun experiment to try - especially on a cold, misty day! Now on to HOMEWORK! BOO

Zach's weekend

It was finally time to celebrate Zach's birthday, the right way!! We can hardly believe Zach is 12 years old!
Make a wish Zach!!!

For Zach's birthday, he wanted to stay at the "Fun Dome" hotel here in town. So we got him the hot tub suite and had his party! We started the fun off with a Silly String war!! The boys luved it!!!

Yes, I know, it was a complete mess!! But it was very easy to clean up!

The hotel pool was heated and went outside/inside!! You swam under it to get to the other side!

There is a golf course too! Lots of fun things to do!

Thanks Lar for the cool party favor ideas! They were a hit!! ;)

There was a lot of laughs, running, hide and seek, food and friends! What a great way to celebrate being 12!!! ♥

Ice

It has been extra cold here this past week! Brrrrrrr! So cold our pool actually froze! (the top layer anyway!) We woke up to a light snow covering and icy roads on Friday! It was great! ha! Being that we hardly ever get cold weather, I enjoyed it! One day was fun! (*wink)

Dan and Drew took a early morning walk to the park/pond at the end of our street to see if the pond was frozen...and sure enough, it was! Check out the frozen waves in the picture below after you check out my cute Drew doing dangerous stuff! I told Drew I would have never let him do that if I had been there!!!

He was heading out on the limb to get the baseball frozen in the pond.

BOYS!!!!! ☻

Happy New Year!!!

Tia and Eddy invited us to use their "home away from home" at Lake Brownwood to ring in the New Year! Thanks Tia and Eddy!! The boys got new fishin' pools for Christmas, so they wanted the boys to use them!! ♥ The golf cart ranked #1 in favorite things to do! (once it warmed up a bit!) Zach LOVES to fish. He was up at 7:30 am in 25 degree weather fishing! Too bad he didn't catch anything this time.

Here's a shot from the dock; at night the S lights up, it's very pretty! Drew brought his new "kick" ball so we broke it in playing kickball and dodge ball in the back yard! Fun times for sure!!!

Here's the boys after a good game of kick ball...

Pluto liked the dock too - can you spot him at the top of the stairs?? He went up there all alone!

Pluto be careful!!! But Drew rescued him! ♥

Relaxin'

Dan made us a great steak dinner with vegetables! yummy! Thanks hunny! ♥

Tia, you got Dan and the boys the "right" jacket this Christmas! Almost every man in Brownwood had one! I wanted to try out this famous jacket too! It was sooo warm!

We did stay up to see the New Year in! We even toasted each other with some wonderful bubbly cider! But we didn't get nice pictures like our friends Gavin and Cassidy! (They won the best toast for sure!) Thanks again Tia & Eddy for your generosity to us and sharing your wonderful home! 2010 has started off right! Lots of laughs, love, and God. Church was so good today as our bible study leader and preacher challenged us! Amen!

And to finish the winter break I went to Lindsey's shower! She has such wonderful friends who threw her such a nice shower to celebrate baby Ryon! Here is the onsie and bow we got Ryon. This is in honor of her grandpa Eddy who luvs peanut m&m's! I found this in one of those random magazines that always come in the mail! I can't wait to see Ryon in it!!!

Oh, and if you want a good laugh, watch this video!!! ☺The second video is one of the lakehouse. NOTE: You may get dizzy watching this video! ☺ (Video's courtesy of Drew! Thanks Drew!)
