Leaving for Michigan tomorrow

I am flying to Michigan in the morning to go to a training for work and I will not be home until Friday night so this is my last blog for awhile. I am going to miss blogging. Today we drove out to the Legends.
In the parking lot they had a free Titanic display. It was really neat and Dylan could not believe that the items really came from the Titanic. For lunch, we went to Chipotle Mexican Grill. The rest of the day I have been packing and doing some last minute shopping at Walmart and Target. Tonight we will be spending some time on the deck and relaxing before my big week.

Michael has learned that Cass is too old to hold his hand but every once in a while she will do it if she knows that her friends are not around. I am glad I took this picture because this could be the last time. (especially after her friends read the blog)

I would like to wish my sister a Happy Birthday. Her birthday is not until the 29th but since I will be out of town I just wanted her to know that I will be thinking about her anyway.

I love you sister!! Thanks for being the best sister I could have. I hope you have a great birthday.

Glad it is Friday

Happy Friday! My friend Katie and her niece Finley met us at the movies this morning and we saw G-Force. It was a really cute movie. This afternoon I took Cass and Dylan to 7-Eleven to get slurpees and then Cass helped me make Martha Stewart Chocolate Chip Cookies. They have lots of brown sugar in them and that it why they are so delicious. Tonight I am making Spaghetti Pizza Lasagna.

Enjoy the recipes and have a great weekend!!!

Power Play

We spent the afternoon at Power Play today. Our friend Keri, her nephews Luke and Nathan, Dylan, Cass and I had fun playing cosmic miniature golf. The kids also drove go-karts, bumper cars and played games. We also stopped at Sonic for half price drinks before going home. What a fun day!!!

Cass and Dylan are home!!

Cass and Dylan got home this afternoon. Before they arrived I decided to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies for them. My friend Katie heard I was making brownies and decided to stop and get one before going over to her sister's house.

Tonight we drove to Paola which is about 40 minutes away to eat at The BBQ Shack.
It was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives so we wanted to try it.

Here is Cass trying the famous Atomic Buffalo Turd. They were a little spicy but good. It was just a stuffed jalepeno. Then we decided to stop at the KC Wakeboard Waterpark. We were lucky enough to watch some guys doing tricks on their wakeboards.

Peace and Quiet

I can not believe how quiet it has been around this house. Mom and Dad took Cass and Dylan to Caldwell on Saturday and then on to Norman to visit my sister. Michael did not get home until late Sunday night so I was all alone. I went to Starbucks several times and watched many Lifetime movies. Michael and I decided to go out to eat tonight since the children will be coming home tomorrow. We have been craving catfish for months so we went to Jumpin Catfish. It was so good and the craving is gone. Well, I enjoyed the peace and quiet the last few days but I am really looking forward to the kids coming home.

Grandma and Grandpa are Here!!!!!!

We are so excited that Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting. We went shopping at Walmart and Target before we went out for dinner. We ate at Kokopelli Mexican Cantina. I love their Angel Fire Chicken/Spinach Enchiladas. They are so yummy! Of course, we had to make a trip to Sheridans Frozen Custard for dessert. Sister, you were right! All we do is eat when mom and dad come visit.

Pizza, Bowling,and Dessert

We had a fun-filled evening. First, we went to Papa Kenos to eat a slice of pizza. This is one of my favorite places to eat pizza. Dylan enjoyed riding the horse more than eating.

Then off to the bowling alley! Cass and Dylan each had a free bowling coupon so that made it pretty cheap.

Cass got a spare and decided to do a little dance. Oh well, it did not help because I still beat them both. HA, HA !!! I felt a little bad (not really) that I won so I took them to Sonic for a treat.
