Arkansas or Bust

We took yet another summer family road trip to Little Rock, Arkansas to visit my sister and her husband and 2 yr old son. Needless to say we fell in love with Little Rock. Would move there in a heart beat. It's beautiful and a great "outdoors" town. We had so much fun and are ready to go back in the fall to see the beautiful landscape changes.

Took about 5 1/2 hours to get there. So a nap was in order for sure!

Kids favorite thing to do in a hotel......

Kindergarten Field Day

Field day at the sloan school was such a great day! The weather was beautiful and wyatt placed in the top 3 of 7 of the 9 events. Go Wyatt!!!

Let's go Rangers!!

Wyatt was invited to a friends birthday party at the ballpark. We made it a family event and had a blast!

Love these kiddos

What did we do before selfies?!?!

Teaching your grandparents the art of selfies......priceless memories!

Love her......

Here's to new adventures.....

I started our United States travel map and hung it in the dining room. Makes for great conversation at dinner time of all the states we'd like to travel some day. Hope to have it full of pictures by the time the kids graduate high school!

Baseball or Bust

Dust off the bats and get a new bucket of baseballs. It's that time of year again. Let the practice begin!

Love is in the air!

Valentine School  Parties 2014

What's a Rainbow Loom?

What's a rainbow loom you ask? Whaaat? What rock have you been under. It's only the coolest craftiest piece of plastic that makes awesome bracelets that when they fall apart leave little bitty rubberbands all over your house!
Oh, but Wyatt loves it and got straight A's on his report card so he was rewarded with one. Oh, and mommy "kinda" likes to play with it too.

Foolish People

Conversation in the car on the way home this evening:
Not sure what was said before this. But my ears perked up as soon as I heard this statement below:

Wyatt: Because I have Jesus in my Heart.
Whitney: Well I have Jesus in my heart too!

Silence - but the squeaky wheels of Whitney's brain spinning.

Whitney - Does mommy have Jesus in her heart?
Wyatt - Yes ( but said drastically, like "duh")
Whitney - Daddy? (this goes on for most of the family)
Wyatt - Yes Whitney and if people don't have Jesus in the heart they are foolish people and bad guys.

Hmmmm, think it's time for me to interject...

Me: Wyatt, how do you know about people being foolish if they don't have Jesus in their hearts?
Wyatt: Fishers of men song at school.
Me: Oh, ok. Well people are foolish if they don't have Jesus in their hearts but it doesn't make them bad guys. In fact, if they don't have Jesus in their hearts it's our job to teach them about Jesus.
Wyatt: Well, ok but I'm not telling the "for real" bad guys. For real mom, I'm not!
Me: Ok. What would you tell the other people about Jesus?
Wyatt: That Jesus loves them no matter what, and that he beats up the bad guys with his fists, like this (5 year old beating up an imaginary bad guy)
Me: Smiling and speechless.....

I told this story to Wyatt's Kindergarten teacher. After laughing she did want to clarify that they do listen to the song Fishers of Men in bible time but the song does NOT mention Jesus beating up the bad guys with fists.

Kids say the cutest things!!
