Weekend fun

This weekend we had a blast. On Sunday we went shopping at Grapevine Mills Mall and baby got $200 worth of free Nike clothes thanks to a coupon that his coworker gave him. Then when we walked outside and there was a circus w a huge tent and elephants and camels outside and lil ponies and so we went to the circus. It is so so hard for me to go to circuses now a days bc I know that they mistreat the animals and I feel so bad for the animals bc they have to live like that on the road. But I went so that me and baby could have a fun afternoon and it was crazy. There were alot of shows w people and not animals and so it was alot better. The best part is that at the end of the show a 6 foot man prolly age 19 folded himself up and put his body into a box the size of 4 shoe boxes! It was CRAZY!!! I have never seen anything like it! He also can fold up his body to wear he can lay his head on his rear! He folded in half and more! It was insane!
Anyway when we left the circus there were people standing outside protesting and saying that they beat and torture the animals. It was so so sad and I feel bad for going now! The circus was called Carson and Barnes.
Anyway when we were going home we saw the craziest thing on the highway! It was a rocket on wheels and it was tiny just driving on the highway next to us! It was the weirdest thing. Here is a hilarious pic of it.


How sweet!

Ok so on Saturday I woke up to baby making me breakfast and he made me pancakes. He has never made me pancakes before so I was excited. He brought me a plate with 2 pancakes but lets just say they were MONSTER MONSTER pancakes! We have pretty big plates and these pancakes almost ran over the edges of the plate and they were 4 inches thick! :)
He is crazy. I took a picture but it didnt save into my phone and so I am sad about that but it was hilarious! And on top of that there were egg shells in the pancakes too. But he is so sweet! :)

WHAT DO U THINK?

I am sitting here eating 3 separate cookie size pieces of choc. Chip cookie dough and am wondering:
Is it worse to eat the cookie before it goes in the oven or after?

There are a few arguments for this question. First I wonder if u eat the cookie fully baked if u get more carbs and therefore gain more weight. Or if you eat the dough does it bake in ur tummy and the dough expands in the warm inner part of your body? Hmmm….. not sure. I am sure that either way is bad but which one causes u to gain more weight? The cookie dough is smaller than the actual cookie and so one would think that the cookie dough is better or should I say would not make you as fat but I am sure that I am wrong. O man I just don’t know for sure.

I forced baby to take pics w boots- here they are- so so cute











Our lil St. Patricks Day Pics- We wore bright green




League Nite- A lil better

Last night was our 4th bowling nite of our league and we won 8 out of 10 games. So that is really good. Mandrae had a top game of 235 and my top game was 149 (which sucks compared to my 190 on Sunday). But we both improved our average and Mandrae will be #1 on all categories next week. So I am excited to see that and we should be ranked higher. We are SOOO competitive it is crazy. We are like super serious! After this league we are going to get into a league that is certified by the bowling association so that we will be able to compete in tournaments individually and travel to win big money! Well depending on if I get better I might but Mandrae will for sure! He is so good. So yeah this week we are #6 out of like 12 teams and hopefully next week we wil be higher. Til next time.....................


(Sorry I didnt get pics of our crazy kids that we bowled last week- that killed us (and they are crazy crazy kids). But they did bowl AWEFUL this week and barely got over 100 and so that just shows u that when they were bowling AMAZiNG against us that they were totally lucky! :) The one guy w the broken ankle last week was begging me to kick him in the ankle and break it again so he might bowl better since he bowls good when he is hurt! CRAZY!)

pic of my fav lil boots! :)

This is boots begging me for a treat! She has been so good lately! I tell her to go potty and she RUNS our the doggy door and flies right back in like there is no door in the way just to get her treat that she deserves for pottying outside. Mandrae doesnt understand why she should get a treat for doing something that she should already be doing, but that is how we have always been w our dogs. (and it seems to be working)




I interrupted her sunbathing to take a pic and she wasnt too happy.





she was trying to help us w the garden by eating all the mulch! silly rabbit mulch is for plants.


She gave me a pretty Sienna pose! (Sienna is the poser in the family and is known for her perfect picture poses!)





She was stuck on this piece of mulch- no matter how many different pieces I threw in the yard she always went back to this one piece.








Sunday afternoon project

On Sunday after church baby, boots and I all decided to fix up our lil garden in the front of the house and try to do flowers again. So we went to Home Depot and bought 4 bags of soil, Miracle Grow soil, 4 big bags of mulch and 2 trays of orange marigolds. We spent all afternoon tilling the ground and pulling bricks outta the ground and rocks outta our soil hoping that this time our flowers would not die bc they always seem to die on us. We were determined this time to make it work. So we borrowed some tools from the neighbors and got to work. And let me tell you I am SOOOOO sore from all that work. I cant even walk. My legs are SORE! Well here are some pics of our lil garden area. I am thinking of adding some white flowers to make it more variety and not so uniform! :)

Pray for the flowers that they stay alive.
