This and That!

Just a bunch of random stuff today! First of all...the Spring Break Update! We are still having a great time! We took the kids to John's Incredible Pizza last Friday...it's a HUGE step up from Chuck E. Cheese...it has rides, glow in the dark bowling, bumper cars, games, prizes (of course) and all you can eat buffets! It also has theme rooms you can eat in! We ate dinner in the cartoon room...and watched Scooby Doo, then ate dessert in the sports room so that I (I mean Shane) could watch the NCAA basketball tournament! We all had a great time and got back in time to watch Shane play some church basketball!

The "dizzy" ride...I can't do these!

The bouncing ride...Rylie loved this one...it was called the Frog ride, or something like that!

Bowling!

Ski Ball...Rylie is starting to get it...only a few balls went flying off the ramp!

They had LOTS of tickets...meaning lots of toys! Rylie's favorite was the Whoopie Cushion...such my little "lady"!

Mason and I have been doing lots of reading this spring break! Mason has read Eragon and Eldest, and yesterday we both finished the first Harry Potter book! We loved it!!! We were supposed to only read one chapter a day...but that quickly turned into 3, 4, 5 and even 6 chapters a day! Mason has the same problem I do with reading...once we get into a book, we don't want to put it down! We have already started book 2! I told Mace that as we finish the books we can watch the movies, so we stayed up until 12:30 watching the first movie last night! Parker watched it with us. I don't know what he liked better, staying up late, or the movie! When it was over he asked me what time it was. When I told him that it was 12:20, he said, "yes...I finally stayed up past midnight!"

Speaking of reading...I started one of those book shelves on line. It's on my blog. I'm only putting on books I've read since the first of the year. I'm actually quite amazed with myself. I'm not a reader, as you all know, but I am finding it rather enjoyable! Sadly to say, I've read more books since January 1 than I've read since I graduated from college! Please don't laugh at my book choices...you will quickly see that I read for LEISURE...not for knowledge! I'm not into if it is a great writer or not, or to gain all sorts of new found information. I read mainly to relax and enjoy a story...I'm just that simple minded these days! Raising 3 kids and living my crazy busy life is stimulating my mind enough for now!!!

Just a bit more...Christy came over with Mason last night...here is the first picture of Mason and Mason...so cute!!!

Mason Alexander and Mason Cory...both named after our grandpa (little Mason is my cousin Devin's baby! Devin's middle name is Mason too!...just a little bit of family trivia for you!)

And, for those of you who have expressed a desire to see the front of the wedding dress I love so much...and for my mom who can't get enough of them...she is my mom after all...Alli posted a few more pictures. Here are my favorites of the new batch. I probably won't post anymore of them...click on Alli's link if you want to see the others!

You can't see all of the dress, but this is at least a front view of it!

The baseball glove is in honor of Shane! Alli is so creative!!!
