Field Trip

Today Haylee & Spencer had their 4th grade field trip.  They went to Frankfort.  Thankfully Bobby & I were both able to go with them.

On our way to Frankfort

Our first stop was The Kentucky Historical Society.  It was very informational and had a lot of displays.  The kids rushed through it and didn't take in all the exhibits.  I would love to go back with adults and have time to look and enjoy the history.

Next they went to the "Old Capital".

The next stop was the "new" Capital.  It was amazing & beautiful.

 On the way home they stopped at Steak & Shake to eat.

Happy 10th Birthday Spencer Hayden

We took a road trip today due to he fact Morgan, Spencer & Haylee were on Fall Break.

Our first stop was the Kentucky Science Center. Morgan & Spencer had been a couple of years ago and loved it, so we decided to go back. They all had a good time.

Spencer wanted to walk down to The Louisville Museum. We took pictures in front of the big bat & went to the gift shop. Spencer got 2 small bats; Haylee got a shirt & I got a magnet.

On the way home we stopped at Golden Corral to eat. While we were there they announced Spencer's birthday on the speaker.

The exact moment I met this sweet little boy 10 years earlier

Bobby & I completed Day 2 of Couch 2 5K. Before I started my legs were SORE. I even tried to talk myself out of going, but knew I need to do this. I pushed myself & finished...on to Day 3 Friday. We will probably do week one again next week because it is pretty rough since we are so out of shape.

Spencer's request for supper was chicken casserole, macaroni/cheese & buttered/cheesy potatoes. After supper we had cupcakes.

It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since I first met this precious boy. He stole my heart from his first breath. He has always been a momma's boy & can continue to be for as long as he wants!!! He is an intelligent, smart, caring boy. He wears his heart on his sleeve (just like his momma). I am blessed to have a healthy, happy, rambunctious boy. He will ALWAYS be momma's little boy in my eyes.

Happy 10th Birthday Spencer Hayden!!!!!!!!

PS: Spencer says, "Thank you for all the cards, texts, comments & likes". He has had an awesome day!!!

SomerSplash & Shoe Shopping

I feel like a walking zombie after working all night and running all day on no sleep, but we have had an GrEaT day!!! Bobby & the kids picked me up from work & we headed to SomerSplash.  When we got there it was cloudy & even sprinkled a little.  After getting sprayed down with sunscreen the kids scattered in all directions (with their buddies).  Gracie headed to the kiddie area, Morgan/Harley headed to the wave pool & Spencer/Haylee to the water slides.

Spencer & Haylee

The Girl Scout troop Morgan had been in for the last few years was there.  Morgan ended up being Ally's buddy for a while. 

Morgan & Ally riding the water slide

Bobby & I rode a few water slides together; then we headed to the lazy river.  It wasn't long until Gracie ventured to the lazy river with us.

Spencer met up with some friends from school & rode rides with them.  He was glad to see Lucas & Logan.

Bobby & I went to the wave pool & Gracie followed us, but she stayed at the edge of the water.  Next thing we knew she had a life jacket on & was out in the water.  She ended up taking the life jacket off & getting on the float with us to ride the waves.  She LOVED it.  She kept saying "This is so much fun"  When we got out she wanted to ride the water slides.  She wasn't tall enough to ride any of them by herself,, so I rode with her.  She was scared & nervous at first.  When we got to the top of the stairs she wasn't so sure.  She kept asking me if I promised I wouldn't let go of her.  I told her time & time again I would hold on to her & I wouldn't let anything happen to her.  She sat in my lap & went down the slide.  When we got to the bottom she wanted to ride again.  We ended up riding the same slide 5 times.

After she got brave on the blue slide she wanted to ride the toilet bowl.  I rode it with her.  When we went down the drain the float flipped us out.  I immediately gabbed her.  The float was on top of us so we went underwater when we hit the pool.  I figured she would flip out, but the first words out of her mouth was she wanted to do it again. 

The three older girls rode the speed slide for the first time.  Haylee went first...

 

Harley went next...

 

Morgan finally decided she was going to try it.

 

Gracie got brave & wanted to ride the blue slide with her daddy.  He tried to tell her he was too heavy & would flip the float, but she still wanted to go.  They ended up flipping, but it didnt'

Then Morgan wanted to ride with Bobby.  She somehow managed to stay on the float, even though he flipped off

                           

I seen smething today that I have put on my wish list...a LifeProof case for my I-phone!
