I Wanna Be a Rock Star...

Jason's way of justifying a morning of Guitar Hero is letting the kids be his back-up singers and letting them "play" for a minute or so....

Just Hangin' Around

Jason decided that we should venture over to Danville park so the kids could explore and he could show them and tell them stories about all of his and Uncle Kevin's many adventures...
Gracie and Ben could not go high or fast enough...

As anyone would guess Ben is all about anykind of race car....

GREENSPAN GONE!!!!!!

enough said :-)

ALL ABOARD!!

This past weekend my friend Kelli and I took the kids to " A Day Out With Thomas 2008" in Connersville, Indiana. It stormed a better part of the afternoon..luckily the kids still got to partake in all the fun activities that included....Pony rides, temporary tatoos, mazes, jumpy houses, tiny tractor rides, coloring/stamping, train sets for playing everywhere and lets not forget the 30 minute Thomas Train Ride..(they also have caboose rides!)http://dowt.whitewatervalleyrr.org/faq.php.

Thomas coming to pick us up!

Danielle, William, Ben, Gracie and Nicholas..Taylor had a softball tourney!

Thomas the Train The "mini" tractor ride that the kids LOVED! It doesn't take much to make these kiddos happy!

Kelli and Nicholas
Danielle and Gracie~~ playing in the puddles one of the days activities! Danielle and William Engineer Ben Kelli, Nick, Gracie and Danielle aboard Thomas

Ben loved feeling the breeze and watching all the sites go by as we rode the train.

Rain didn't halter these smiles :-)

Ben and Nick with some seriously soggy heads and feet....

The River behind the park....

Ben and Nolan being assisted on the teeter/totter by grandma Sandy...
So, the kids discovered this little creek that runs behind our park and to them it's "The River"..That's what they want to do all the time now...jump on their bikes and dig for treasure at the river...Tay, Ben, Nolan (nephew) and Gracie..

Did you know that Fried Chicken Grows in the Garden?!

This is Paps' garden....The kids love going over to check on it and to see what has bloomed. They also like digging for treasure where the plants aren't planted. Ben's favorite food is Grandma Shirley's fried chicken..So, Paps told him along with tomatos, peppers, corn and green beans they could try and grow some fried chicken...we haven't seen any yet..but, Ben is anxiously waiting...

Gracie and The "Almost" Rock Legend

Happy Father's Day to Jason....I thought Guitar Hero (for the Wii) would be a great idea...and in theory it was....Jason loves it....the kids love watching Dad rock out and try to make it to Rock Legend...what they love even more is seeing him get "booed" off the stage or wait is that me? HA! I can harldy wait for the day that all the grown men get together and try to "win" this kids game.

Gracie says when she was a "little" kid her favorite color was dark pink and now that she is "big" it is Purple!
