Spring Break Part 3

So last Saturday we went to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. And yes I'm just now getting pictures up. I had a paper to finish and a mid-term to study for this week. Anyway the boys had fun. Jonathan enjoyed the I-max movie about the Blue Angels whom we hope to see in person this summer if we get to visit Grandma in Florida. Nicholas did not enjoy it, and I got a headache so the rest of the day I was trying to regain my equilibrium. Jonathan hopes to maybe go to space camp one day something my mom could not get any of her children to do. We will see. I have not been to the space center since I was in sixth grade so let's just say a lot has changed.

The front of the space Center

The space shot for little kids. Jonathan asked for them to stop it so he could get off. If you can see the kid in the yellow shirt is crying. He got off too. Even though Jonathan is laughing he got off pretty quick.

Nicholas said forget about the space shot and went straight to the playground.

Future astronauts??

The big space shuttle. We envy you Uncle Landon. He is going to see the space shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral this summer.

Happy Easter!!!

Their boys they don't stand still for very long. By the way they both named their Easter Bunnies, Fluffy.

Spring Break, Part 2

No pictures today. I'm too tired to download them. We went the the Adventure Science Center and to Fort Negley. We may actually walk up to the Fort one day. The boys were too tired and hungry after the science center. So instead we watched a video about Nashville and the Civil War. Jonathan actually enjoyed it and had a lot of questions after it was over. Tomorrow we are off to Huntsville and the Space and Rocket Center maybe I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Maybe.

Spring Break Part 1

We went to Cave City, KY today to the dinosaur park. I never new when I had my boys that I would learn so much about these creatures. It is all they talk about, and we read about a lot of the time.

Jonathan, Grammy, and Nicholas looking like this dino is going to eat them. I think it's a plant eater though.

That's a big one.

Ah T-Rex Jonathan's favorite dino.

Lunch was yummy. Nicholas chose a piece of bread over a peanut butter or bologna sandwich.

Dying Easter Eggs

Well this is the first year we have dyed Easter eggs. The boys had a lot of fun. Even though they refuse to eat the boiled eggs it is okay we are going to take some to the neighbors. I found really cool egg holders with "He is Risen" on them. What a great way to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our neighbors at this time of year. And anyway I'm not eating 12 boiled eggs.

My Day

Was great. It has been the best day I've had in a while. And it is all because of my precious boys. Nicholas goes from getting into major trouble at Mother's Day Out to telling me a little Bible story on the way to the bus stop to pick up Jonathan. He tells me you know Jesus feed all those people with just fish and I added bread too. He said yeah. And then he says but you know God was at Jericho and then he was done with his Bible lesson. I love it when the boys talk about Jesus. Nicholas has a bad habit of running out into the road lately. When we left WalMart this morning he just ran out the door into the middle of the road. When he stopped I asked him to look where he was standing and what would happen if he got hit by a car. His answer, don't worry mommy Jesus will heal me. Oh if we all had that child like faith. I said I would hope so but healing could also come from Jesus taking him home to heaven and mommy would be sad and I wouldn't get to see him for a little while. So we are working on stopping and looking both ways before we cross the street.

Jonathan is excited about Easter. It's the first year he really gets that it's about more than an Easter bunny and an egg hunt. The egg hunts are fun though. I hope to take him to see the play at church this year. I think he will enjoy it.

Well that is it for tonight. Technically I'm suppose to be working on a presentation for school Saturday and as you can see I'm procrastinating. There is only so much research one can read and still be sane. Anyway all that data is beginning to run together. I want to counsel people not spout off stats to them, but as we know sometimes you have to take classes you might not use to finish your program.

Good Night!

We Have Snow

So yes we were out at 8:00 am enjoying the snow. It was deeper than I thought. The boys are very excited and so is mom.

Snow fort

Nicholas looking cold.

Nicholas trying not to fall like bro.

They Like to Wrestle

The one thing Jonathan and Nicholas like the most is to get in the floor and wrestle each other. Some pictures to enjoy. I know it looks like Nicholas is winning but Jonathan got Nicholas on the ground a few times as well. Boys just being boys.
