Chuck E. Cheese

Jay and I took the boys to Chuck E. Cheese's the day before they were to go back to Idaho and start school. The boys used some of their sign money that they had earned throughout the summer. The boys had so much fun and we laughed so hard when Jayden kicked Jay's butt at the ball game. I just had to get pictures of the score.

Sunday Breakfast

We looked forward to Jeff cooking us breakfast every Sunday. Jeff introduced us to Helga's and Koolaid syrup. These are both super yummy. To make the Helga's you dip a piece of bread into some pancake batter and then cook.

Holy Toads

Not only do we have turtles in Texas but we also have toads. Jay found the first ones over 2 months ago. That day it took Jay about 30 minutes to get Bubba to even touch the toad. Now he can't keep his hands off of them.
We see them outside the apartment complex almost nightly. We made a deal with the kids that once they catch one they can keep it until the following night. One night the kids caught 8!! Since then we have had to limit it to one toad a piece. On another occasion we were walking on the grass and I stepped in something squishy. We looked to see what I stepped on and the kids realized it was a toad. What a gross feeling.
To date the boys have caught a couple dozen. We have never seen so many toads. The boys sure are going to miss them as we don't have any in ID.

Party Like A Rockstar

We planned this photo shoot out and decided we needed a mohawk, a kid, a spikey collar and a dog. Be careful because looks can be deceiving!!
