First Day of First Grade

Today was Noah's first day of First Grade. I can't believe he is a first grader already. He was a bit nervous this morning but he told me that when he got in class he wasn't nervous anymore. I am a proud mama!

Alien Boy & His Captain

Today I had a visit from Alien Boy & his Captain wearing their self-styled helmets!

Kents Lake

Yesterday Sheila, Noah, Little Hayley, and I went up to Kents Lake which is located in Beaver Canyon. We had a lot of fun rowing the little boat around and there was a bunch of fish jumping out of the water catching bugs.

Sweet Skillzz

Now, don't be jealous, but I have some pretty sweet photoshop skills or skillzz. Here is some work I did to turn Noah into Darth Maul from Star Wars, I know you are shocked that is not the work of a professional graphic artist.

BEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter Weekend 2010

Well, none of these pictures are very "Easter-y" but I discovered my battery was dead when I went to take pictures of the egg hunt. The pictures are of the street ball game that was taking place and the crazy cranium game we played later that evening.

Buc-ee's

On our drive up to Dallas from Houston, we made a pit-stop at Buc-ee's to enjoy their 'fabulous restrooms'. To call Buc-ee's a truck stop is does not even begin to describe it. It is sort of a self-contained village of sorts, they seemed to have anything and everything, including beaver nuggets! Don't get excited, they were just puffed corn with caramel flavoring. Their restrooms were actually large and clean so that was good too!

Houston Aquarium

Pictures from our visit to the Houston Aquarium. It was raining cats and dogs outside so we didn't get to enjoy the Ferris Wheel, but we did take a chilly shark adventure train ride. Thanks so much to the Staples for hosting us!

p.s. Yes, they do have white tigers in the Houston Aquarium
