Are We Extinct?

I took the boys to Thanksgiving Point to the "MuSeUm of AnCiEnt LiFe" and it was a pretty cool place. We had never been there before and with Braken being so fascinated with animals of all species he's really wanted to go, so we did. It's amazing to see how dinasours look on the inside and how big they are if you were to stand by them, and all the hands on activities they have for kids to do it was a big hit. The history behind these creatures who would have ever known and then trying to pronounce all their names lol that was a chore, and since Payton knows everything in life he told us how to say them all, thanks buddy! It took us about an hour and a half to walk through and see everything. That place is huge, from the freeway it doesn't look very big though. This was our last big fun adventure out before school starts in 5 days!! HOORAY T-Rex

Can You Find Braken?

This area was build your own Dinasour and of course any typical boy what do they do with the pieces? Yep start hitting each other, whatever; I don't know what it is about the Male gender and why they do it but they do so to turn their attention away from that quickly before someone got hurt I told them to pretend they were the dinasour and put the pieces to them

Braken couldn't stop laughing

The Dinasour Magnet Board

Braken wanted to take a picture of me with the largest dinasour; I felt really really small compared to it

This was the messy part but so cool that they could build little things and use their imaginations in this mud and the walls even had stories on this stuff about dinasours; you could bury the dinasour pieces and then find them, they even had little plants and stuff, genius

I think the picture says it all

Braken was looking for the sharks the entire time because he wanted to do this with it and it was at the very end of the museum, anticipation was almost too much for him to bear lol and yes the little sign on the ground said "PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB ON EXHIBIT" well that obiously wasn't stopping him

And at the very end they had 2 big sandboxes that the kids could go in and dig for bones. What a great creative thing, until you get that little bratty kid that likes to flip the sand at your face, bless Paytons words he let some kid know that you don't do that hahaha

It was alot of fun and I'm glad we went because their really is so much to see and we have been to a couple beaches before and they have sections that show you under water animals and what the ocean floors look like and stuff and that was very interesting too see, and different types of animals that who even knew existed and the actually size of the largest turtle in the world my whole family plus our dog could have fit inside it's tummy, way cool and a great learning experience. Until Next Time!!!!

End The Summer With A Bang

We decided to go to Lagoon for our last big hoora for the summer, so we packed our lunches, drinks, and treats and off we went. Surprisingly it wasn't very busy which was nice I think the longest ride they had to wait for was the log flume because you get wet and with it being so hot everyone wanted to cool down, but other than that it was alot of fun, we got their right as it opened at 11 and didn't leave til about 8 and we were all spent by then and the boys had been on all the rides they wanted to go on. Good Times had by all! we might just have to use our bounceback passes in 10 days and do it all over again, maybe haha Tidal Wave, payton hates this ride because the butterflies in his tummy tickles him too bad he says

The new airplane ride: Air Race

Look at them going upside down , oooohhh that makes me sick just watching them lol

The Rocket: Scott and Braken went on it first, payton decided later that he wanted to try it and he loved it he went on it twice in a row, silly boy

OH DEAR

I just noticed in this picture that we had the same color shirt, promise we didn't plan it hahaha

Now with this stupid game comes alot of crap talking with boys in general for some reason, duh their boys I get it but they all had a bet on who could obviously throw the fastest well the results are next:

Braken

Brakens score

Payton

Paytons score

Scott

Scotts score
I think we all know the winner

Happy Summer!!!!

Back To School YAY

Let The Sun Shine

There is nothing better than a summer day with the family, making cookies, and riding bikes, and doing the slip and slide I can't think of a more fun day than that. Grandma and Grandpa Blackham are known for that, they love making cookies with all the grandkids, what a great tradition they've started cause I know that my boys look forward to it and i'm sure Ashlynn and Cole do also.
Yep your seeing it right my boys have long hair not too mention almost as long as mine, ya I know tell me about it. We've had the haircut discussion more than we haven't and they dont want to cut it so it's not getting cut til they decide they want it done. The family always asks and we just ignore them all, LOL Look how cute all those cousins are I just love them all so much.

my sister Lyndi, me, and my mom Karen

BOYS WILL BE BOYS......

Gotta eat the cookie dough

LOve

Let's See Who Can Make It To The Bottom Faster
