KUNG FOO PANDA!

On Monday we went to see Kung Foo Panda. Logan and Jake loved it! They were adorable coming out thinking that they were karate fighters! It was super cute.

Ry and Hayden made it through about an hour of the movie, but then they were done. We went out to the car for some high quality Nemo time, thank goodness for a DVD player, and fruit snacks, and pushing buttons! GOOD TIMES!

The Block Party

This weekend our church had a block party. The goal was reaching out into the community and showering people with God's love and sharing the Christ with them. Well, Friday night the sirens started going off and the rain started to pour. Never fear, Hope Community Church does not cancel, they move it inside! It turned out wonderfully. There were bounce houses, wonderful food, all beef dogs may I add, and I think that all of our children have had enough popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones to last a lifetime! It was so much fun! It was wonderful to see how people all rallied together to make the best out of the move inside, and it was incredible how many people braved the weather to come.Bounce House Fun!

So, I am helping serve food in the kitchen and Paul Painter, Jakies dad, comes in and tell me something extremely interesting. My husband, has turned the flooded church yard into a water slide. Yes, definitely a youth at heart. He not only decided to take a ride down this hill, but he coaxed others to do it as well. As I am hearing this I am absolutely mortified. Of course, I try to remember it is Shelby and to just let him have some fun, right? Needless to say the younger children wanted to partake in the fun so I figured why not go for broke and let them. They had fun and they were super dirty, yuk!

It was a wonderful day and I am not gonna lie, I was beat afterwards. We came home and chilled out the rest of the day.

And for all who are concerned....I will never forget who Frank is and I am pretty sure he will never forget me!

Bowling Pictures

Well, I finally got them loaded..the craziness of bowling!

Rylan really tried!Go Jakie!Logan gets a strike!

Friends till the end!

RYLAN

Here is our sweet Rylan. Heidi shot a quick picture of her for Aunt Pammy today during Madi's photo shoot since she wouldn't take one for me yesterday. Thank you Heidi. Madison took her first ever photo shoot with Mrs. Hackney, photographer extraordinaire....they were cute.

Tonight we went bowling with the youth. It was a lot of fun. It has been such a long time since I got to hang out with my youth pals, gotta say, totally beat out Cubbies! I took the kids and Logan brought along Jakie, his pal. Let me tell ya, they were hysterical. I took pictures, but they were just goofing off, so they are not looking at the camera in any of them. They would roll the ball, well let me rephrase that, they would bounce the ball down the lane. They slammed the ball down so hard I thought for sure they were going to dent it up, but no, it was fine. Logan did cross over the line once and totally flew through the air. He cried. It was kind of sad. He did hurt himself, and it did not help that all of the youth were laughing at him. His bottom may never be the same. Overall, the boys had a blast, and Rylan, well she did really well for the first 30 minutes, and then she just roamed and drank a lot of Pepsi. Good times. On a super happy note I have a 30% off to Kohls, so I just may hook myself up with a new shirt. WOOHOO!

FOR PAMMY!

My sister has been very disappointed in my lack of updating kid photos, so just for her here are some random ones. Sorry Pam, Ry would not take any.
I promise I will do better family!

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart

Shelby How do I love thee, let me count the ways. Just kidding...maybe another time. Happy Anniversary Shelby!

Random Logan

Yesterday I was looking high and low for the camera. I could not find it anywhere. Well, today when I was cleaning Logan's room I found it. It was on his bookshelf with his turtles. I talked to him about how we do not play with Mommy's camera and then I went to load the pictures up. This is what I found.
And for my favorite...I was just thinking "What?!" I think he was trying to be a turtle, maybe?
