MILKSHAKE CONTEST

Everyone who knows me knows we love Chick-fil-a.  So when they had a Milkshake Mustache contest...where you can win 52 FREE MILKSHAKES (1 per week) we had to do it!  My kids love doing stuff like this so on our last visit to Chick-fil-a we let them get milkshakes to enter the contest. 

They posted the picture on their Facebook page.  The person who gets the most people to "like" their picture wins.  So last night Brock prayed that we would win...and Boston asked who I voted for....um Boston, I'll give you a hint...OUR FAMILY!  Who knows if we'll win, but it was fun anyway.

Next are some pictures of me and my friends.  Thanks to Allison I have some pictures.  We went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Katie and Lindsay's birthdays.  It was fun getting out...and watching Katie and Lindsay share the saddle.  I told them to ride it spider, but they didn't think I was very funny.
 

This last picture is of my boys and my nephew Bridger.  We went shopping and they were being so good following me around with their arms folded.  I was cracking up because I felt like Momma duck and they were my little ducklings following me in a line.  They actually picked out shirts they thought I should try on.

KIDS ART

I love seeing my kids with their drawings.  They crack me up.  They usually put a lot of details that make me laugh.

Last Thursday we had Parent Teacher conference for all three kids.  Alyssa made a folder and one of the pages they had to draw how they saw themselves when they got older.  I love that she wanted to be a hair dresser.  Notice she even did a squirt bottle and scissors saying "cut cut".

Tonight Brock decided to make a "book".  We try not to use the word "Fart" in our family...but he thought he could get away with it...and apparently he did because I couldn't stop laughing.  I'll probably regret laughing tomorrow, when he keeps repeating it.  So here is his book.  I will translate each page.  Although I love his spelling.  And I have to give him credit for trying to spell on his own.

 My fart infection

 My Mom took me to the doctors cause I had a fart infection.

Notice the nurse is listening to his heart.

 Mom took me home.

  (I love that he is in his bed watching tv...that is exactly what I make them do when they are sick.)

 I am sad.

 

This is Boston's last drawings, he did it while visiting my Mom's class.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN

We went to Playa Del Carmen Mexico last week with our friends Katie and Ryan Bullock.  We had such a great time.  Gentry's parents were fabulous and took the kids for the week....relaxing for us!!!

The hotel we stayed at was fantastic!!!  It was all inclusive, so the bad part was we took advantage of ALL YOU CAN EAT...we wanted to get our money's worth!

 We may have made a few purchases before the first night was even over...they promised the items were real silver hmmmm.

 Gentry loved the water...I on the other hand loved the beach:)

Katie and I loved just sitting on the beach reading.  Seriously I could do this for a week and not even get bored.  We had fun people watching...Europeans dressed different than I realized...or should I say their "lack" of clothing surprised me.

 These were actually disgusting, but they looked like fun so we tried them.  Apparently the ones with alcohol might cover up the dirty water flavor???  All I know is they were gross...like warm dirty water. BLAH!

Gentry had to get his fruit fix.  Did I mention we went to eat at least 6 times a day.  Don't worry it was free...and probably calorie free too.

Come check out my place:)

 This is right outside of our hotel.  Seriously it was amazing!

 I'll be honest, the first few days I thought I might lose some weight cause I freaked myself out about the way the food was prepared.  I was sure everything was rinsed in the water that would make you sick.  Needless to say when I realized no one was getting sick I gave in and tried it all.  And it turned out to be really good....no weight loss either...figures.

This picture below makes me laugh. We literally took like 15 pictures just trying to get one with Gentry's eyes open.  We were riding in the bus home from Xel-Ha so we had nothing better to do than take a few snap shots.

 XEL-HA

 Looking at these pictures, it's hard to believe we were just there.  We kept getting asked if we were there for our honeymoon and we said "No, we actually have 3 kids"...with which they replied "Wow, you look great for having 3 kids."  So we made sure to tell EVERYONE how many kids we have....hey we were just trying to build our selves up.

 Dolphins right by me!!!  I was super excited.  We went snorkeling and the people who worked there threw food in the water, thinking we would like seeing the fish come close to us.  Instead we (Katie and I) started screaming.  I literally floated into fetal position and screamed.  I was PANICKED!  So apparently the people on the other side of the resort thought it was a shark.  Hey at least if we aren't entertained, we are there to entertain them....I was sure the fish were gonna eat us.

 ...and these birds just chillin by us.

OUTSIDE THE HOTEL....BEAUTIFUL!!

 RAIN RAIN GO AWAY....let me enjoy my time in MEXICO!!!

 The city for a little shopping?!?  Hands in the air...going for the "skinny pose". 

 The last night we went to one of the shows at the hotel.  The entertainment was exactly that...entertainment!  We couldn't help but laugh at the shows.  Although I don't think they were supposed to be that funny.

Now...if I could just go back:)

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Our friends Brock and Kristin invited us over to their house today for a fun super bowl party.  They had lots of fun prizes and the kids thought it was the best thing ever.  We all had a great time!....Now if only I could remember who won the game....ha ha.

 Kristin, Brock, Gentry, JR, & Kim

 Kristin, Brock, ME, JR, Kim and Londyn...Kim's little girl.

Lauren, Marin, Drew, Boston and Brock

 Josh and Jenni

 Brock wanted to sit by Gentry and I almost the whole game.  He was really worried about winning the prizes.

 Kim and JR were celebrating Chinese New Year so they gave all of the kids two dollars.  My kids thought they were in HEAVEN! 

Me and Brock:)
