Happy Mardi Gras!!

Monster X Tour!!

We surprised Alec and Kaleigh Friday night with the Monster Truck show in Jackson!!  It was my first Monster Truck show and I must say, I really had FUN!!  When we pulled up at the Coliseum, there was a green monster truck outside being worked on, Alec was still clueless! He says, "Look someone drove their monster truck up here!"  He finally figured it out once we walked onto the area floor with our pit passes!!  

Alec thought it was really cool to get autographs from all of the drivers!

Daddy and Alec on their truck ride!!!  It was a SHORT 30 second ride but included lots of spinning out!

 Alec with the "Heavy Hitter" and his dog!

No show would be complete with out cotton candy!!

Poor sis after her leggings had to be thrown away!!  I realized sister had an "issue" while we were standing in line to get in the door and my arm started feeling warm and wet!!  YUCK!!!  I think her tummy didn't like her 18 month shot that she got Friday afternoon!!  We were down to one diaper and just a handfull of wipes before the show was over, I think the folks around us were beginning to think I was some sort of an OCD diaper changer after our 6th diaper change in 2 hours!!!

Uh oh!!!  This one tumped over and was spilling fuel EVERYWHERE!  This momma was getting a little concerned about an explosion and was looking for the nearest EXIT!

Such a fun night!! They were both troopers, Kaleigh stayed up for the entire thing and brother even stayed awake for the entire LATE car ride home.

It's a BLIZZARD!

Or maybe not, but Alec thought it was a blizzard!!  It hasn't snowed at all since Alec was Kaleigh's age, so this little, tiny snow yesterday morning was really a fun treat!!  He kept asking to build snowmen and make snowballs, uhhh, not happening with this little bit of snow!

Kaleigh's first snow EVER and Alec's first big kid snow!

Alec was beyond excited about the snow!!

 The snow must have been blowing towards our hill, it wasn't stuck to the flatter yards at all!  Kaleigh wasn't sure at first, she didn't want me to put her down it in but once she saw Alec having fun, she did too!

My little snow bunny!

Welcome 2013

We welcomed in 2013 with our annual New Year's Eve party at home.  The kids had lots of fun doing fireworks with friends.  Dustin was "in charge" of firework duty and the rest of us just relaxed by the fire!

Parachutes are ALWAYS a favorite!  These KIDS can run FAST to catch them!! 

The tough boys ate dinner outside!

The girls had inside dining!

Dustin helping Drew with a Roman candle.  

Sweet Warren had his hands over his ears ALL NIGHT LONG! 

Catherine covering Alec's ears!

The Parkers

Andy's crazy face!

Cousin Will really had fun!

You know a great veterinarian when Harley chooses to snuggle up in his doctor's lap!  I only wish Kaleigh would love Dr. Burks this much!!

Needless to say, NONE of us made it to midnight!!
