Valentines

The morning started off with the traditional heart pancakes for the kids, (crepes for mom and dad) Delicious!

Aty got a pink Dragon

The boys got their very own TAPOUT shirts. They were super excited. Especially Dax, as you can tell. (the pictures are a little fuzzy. I think Aty must have touched the lens with her sticky fingers)

They also got a tattoo making kit. Hence the butterfly tatoo on Atley's belly. Which she loved!

Notice her feet? She got some new gloves, and I asked if she wanted me to put them on, She nodded and then sat down and put her feet up in the air. So I put them on her feet. She walked around with them on for a while, and then she climbed up on the couch and tried to pull them off with her teeth. Such a silly little bean!

Funny Story!

So I just had to share the hilarious thing, that happened to us Yesterday...
We decided to take the kids out to Paradise, to eat at the Cracker Barrel. This is a restaurant that has been around for a long time. Jayson and I ate there a couple of times when we were dating. Actually, my fondest memory of this place was when his Papa, took us to lunch there to celebrate, the day we after, we got engaged. Anyway, so we thought it would be fun to take the kids there. So we drive out to stinky, paradise. When I say stinky, I mean horses and cows...
We pull up, and all the people in the restaraunt are staring at us, through the window. Jayson says to the boys " now these people don't take kindly to city folks." Tregan asks what that means, We tell him that they need to act like they are country boys, he asks how? We tell him to act like his cousin that lives in Idaho.(haha)
So we go in, and it is mostly all old people there. I am thinking "Oh Boy, they are not going to be happy with us!"Our kind waitress brings us our menus, and recommends the chicken critters for the kids. (Haha). So we get our drinks, and I decide that maybe I should have gotten Aty a drink of her own afterall, so I say to the waitress." Can I get a little lemonade like that(pointing at Daxton's cup)? She says "sure" So a couple of minutes later, the waitress walks over to our table, and sets down a tiny cup, with a little slice of a lemon in it. Oh my goodness.!! The boys and I started laughing. And Jayson sat there for a few minutes trying to figure out what had just happened. HILARIOUS!! Only in the country! I swear.
Needless to say, we probably won't be venturing out there, anytime soon again. The food was good, But, we felt a little out of our league. HAHAHA!

Special Day

Daxton had his "Special Day" at school this week. He was So excited! He got to make a poster about himself and collect some other things he liked to play with and do, to share with the class. I was supposed to come into his class and present it all on Thursday. He specifically asked for Jayson, and Aty, to come along as well. He couldn't wait to show off his baby sister.

So when we got there, his teacher got us all chairs and asked us to sit in front of the classroom. Daxton immediately went and sat by Aty and gave her a love, she grabbed on to him and started tickling him( this is her new thing she does now, she try to tickle you, most the time it is on the face, and she will say something that sounds alot like "tickle tickle" in her own language) The boys love it! Anyway, so she does this, and the whole class of kindergartners start laughing. It took them a few minutes to calm down. OOPs! At the end of his presentation, his teacher lets the other students ask Daxton questions. One of them asked if he had ever been camping. He said yes, and started to tell them about the last time we went camping, and we had a bear come up to our tent while the boys were sleeping. We were telling the kids how, his dad wanted to open the tent and look at it, but I wouldn't let him. Then it finally ran away, and the boys woke up and we went out to see the footprints. Daxton then says " and then my dad shot it!" Oh my goodness! What a story teller! His teacher, Jayson, and I had a good laugh.

Silly Boy!
