Wordless Wednesday!!!

Our day at the splash pad......

A Day in Downtown Little Rock

Yesterday, Brian had the day off from work and I thought it would be fun to take the kids to the Museum of Discovery (MOD). I enjoy the Museum and it has a lot of fun things for the kids to play with. We got Downtown just in time for lunch so we decided to eat at Iriana's Pizza one of my favorite pizza places then Brian decided that we should walk downtown to the Old State House because it has Sparky I and Sparky II (the electric chairs used in AR) much to my surprise the Old State House has really changed it is very nice. We toured the museum and since the kids were on their best behavior we let them play in the kiddie room. In the kiddie room it has a craft (which of course Brianna had to do) a little bit of dress up but I talked Brianna out of that since I was not sure who else had it on and trains which Jacob LOVED!!

Then it was time to walk to the MOD and play with all of the fun

stuff there. We all had a lot of fun and enjoyed to day.

We also stopped and ate cupcakes from one of the little shops in the River Market. They were very good. Brianna and Jacob ate watermelon flavored but Brian and I were less daring and ate just vanilla flavored.

One more Canoe picture

Well as I have already told the eventful canoe trip we recently took... Here is a picture of Jacob that pretty much sums up how we all felt before that trip was over.

Fourth of July

In celebration of Independence Day we went to Jennifer and Joe's cabin on the Buffalo River.... We thought it would be real fun to go canoeing..... WHY in the world did I think I needed to be in the canoe with anyone I am not real sure because every other time I have been in a canoe it has not had very positive results.... So we load up the canoe and everyone else just paddles off and we flip our canoe. Thankfully Joe and Jennifer paddled upstream to save us and to put Jacob in their canoe... That is most likely to save his life which was probably a very wise decision for him. Off we go and managed to only flip the canoe a few more times... The rest of the weekend was wonderful with lots of fireworks and good times had by all.

I think I will just stay away from canoes for the time being!!!

Snow and a lot of it

I have be wishing for a ton of snow well..... Today we got just that... A LOT OF SNOW.... I actually did not think that we were getting any especially since it was a slight chance of a dusting then after I got up got dress and I was even having a good hair day... I went to put the dog out and was really shocked (he was too for the record) ...... The kids and I went to play early this morning and it was a decent amount and then it started snowing more and more and more and when we went out after lunch there was close to SEVEN INCHES on the ground... I am so excited.... I can say we never get that kind of snow and I love it!!! In this picture we were attempting to sled in a box... it really did not work so well!

Snow Day and Snowman

Brianna making a snow angel.... that was her #1 priority!!

As everyone knows by now... I finally got the snow I have been waiting on.... I know that is sad that I would actually think with everything going on in the world that getting snow should actually be a worry that I have... However it is.... and finally we got to build a snowman... The last time AR had this much snow Jacob was only a few days old and we lived in an apartment... I tried to help Brianna build one but I am just not a snowman maker..... This year we all got to enjoy the white stuff and here is proof that it was fun.....

Happy 6th Birthday, Brianna

3. You are compassionate to all people.

4. You are a beautiful dancer.

5. You love to play dress-up and are so cute when you make up your own clothes.
