Spring Break 2012 / NOLA / Gulf Coast

I was in this crew in NOLA just over a week ago. We saw the zoo, aquarium, insectarium and a supercute Born to be Wild IMAX. Good eats too. On the long way back to Malin's we drove along MS Gulf Coast- the west end. The boys had a great time swimming in the shallow waters near the beach.

early '12

The boys enjoyed a recent trip to the Channel 3 studio here in Memphis. The weather guy(an Eagle scout) showed us how it is done. We were even on set when they did the 5 o'clock broadcast. I can't believe everyone stayed quiet!

In this photo, they are in front of the famous green screen. They got to pretend on be on TV and practice looking at their reverse image in the camera monitor. Wilson was pretty tired at this point.

Just a picture I like...

Two sweet boys, a cool rock and a neat tree... in Nashville. This was a Christmas present trip to see the Saints play the Titans last month. Great game and the boys learned some words they can NEVER repeat.

Back in action!

Everyone knows that kids get big in a blink of an eye. So 14 months is a BIG gap in this blog. We had a lot of technology issues, and a fair amount of busy-life issues too. The boys are GREAT. Jackson is plowing thru 4th grade and Wilson is making a good transition to big boy school in kindergarten. It’s so nice to have them at the same school. They walk home together in the afternoon and it’s about the cutest thing I ever saw. We are usually running late in the AM so they have to get dropped off but we like to walk to school too when we can.

Jackson's football room

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been working on upgrading Jackson's room. Not sure it will ever be just right, but he likes it!

Jackson's essay (latitude and longitude)

I am going to visit Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minneapolis, Minnesota is located at 45 degrees N latitdude (sic) and 93 degrees W longitude. I want to visit Minneapolis, Minnesota because I want to see there (sic) football team the Minnesota Vikings beat a team I don't like. About everybody exept (sic) the Saints, Vikings and the Titans. Everybody else I don't like.

**Jackson made a 90% because he lost points for grammar.** Not perfect but I love it (and him)!

Halloween 2010

The boys were ready to head to Zoo Boo @ the Memphis Zoo Friday night. We met some friends and had a good time til the cold sent us home.
