We were able to reserve the theater this past Thursday night, so the "Family Movie Night" was back at the Clubhouse Theater!! I finally remembered to bring my camera with me to take some pictures. Our feature that night was Transformers...
Fun on Friday....well, if you call cleaning house and doing laundry fun....
Friday, the boys and I cleaned the house...yes, the boys have been given yet another "chore" to help out around the house. We have added the chore of cleaning their rooms to their list! They thought that was a lot of fun....we will see in a couple of weeks what they think. They really did a great job - Barrett washed everything (and I do mean everything) with a wet cloth, and Carson dusted all the furniture - and Barrett helped out too with the dusting. We really had a great morning. I plugged in my ipod to the speakers in the living room, and we enjoyed singing and playing around as we cleaned. I wish I had taken some pictures of the boys singing to Josh Kelley and the soundtrack from Mama Mia...it was priceless!!!
Here are a few pictures to the boys cleaning their rooms:
Now showing....Star Wars - Clone War:
The new Star Wars movie came out on Friday, so we all went to see that Friday night. When we walked out....there were some people dressed up as some of the characters from the movie. Carson wanted his picture taken with them, but Barrett wouldn't do it!! I will have to say....I have seen my fair share of action movies for a while - between transformers and then the Star Wars - Clone War movie...that is just way to much action for me!! But of course my boys and husband LOVE THEM!!!
Our new fun "family game" --- Rock Band!!!!
After the movie, we had some reward bucks and gift certificates to use at Best Buy before they expired, so we went to Best Buy....well, we found "Rock Band"....need I say more? For those who don't know what Rock Band is....it is a game that you play on either your PS2, Wii, or X-Box360. You have a guitar, drums, and micro-phone - and you have various songs that you play with the band. We LOVE IT!!! Davy and I played it until 1ish last night, and then the boys and Davy played it this morning!!! It is addicting!! I am not crazy about video games - unless they require some "brain usage". I love the Wii sports games, and I love Rock Band. Rock Band requires some major use of hand-eye coordination. Tonight, we all joined in....Davy and Barrett were playing guitars, Carson was playing the drums, and I was singing (yes, I know what yall are thinking). We had a blast. Once the kids went to bed....Davy and I played some more!!! But, this is something that we can all do together - and something that Davy and I can enjoy together!!! So, mom and dad....get ready to be challenged to some Rock Band when you come!!!!
Look at my "Rock Band Heroes"! Carson and Barrett thought they were BIG stuff!!!
Saturday, A Day at Coney Island for Davy's company picnic:
We enjoyed a wonderful day at Coney Island with Davy's company. We had a wonderful meal, played some fun games, got some great door prizes, and then spent the remainder of the day enjoying the rides!!! They boys LOVED all the rides. Carson and Barrett are not afraid of ANYTHING!!! I am so glad...they are just like me!! There were some rides that Barrett was not quite tall enough to ride, so Carson's friend (Jordan - a daughter of a co-worker) rode with him. Barrett and his friend (Ashley - the younger daughter of the co-worker) rode some other rides!! We all had a great time. Coney Island reminded me a lot of the old Liberty Land park...well maybe not as bad as Liberty Land - but the same type rides.
Here are the boys playing some games before lunch...Barrett hit the hole the first time, and Carson hit his too!!! They got $5.00 gift cards to McDonald's - guess where we went for dinner?
Here are some various pictures from different rides we rode:
Did you see the yellow cage like picture...that would be Carson and Jordan riding that ride that the cage goes around and around!!! I was sooo proud of him....just like his mother!! We should have a BLAST in Disney World!!!
Wooohhhh....I am going to have to do better about blogging every night!! I didn't realize how much we had done the past few days until I started blogging!!! I will have to say this....I am a very blessed mother and wife!! My husband and boys are the light of my life!! I have really enjoyed being able to spend great quality time with my boys during the day (and Davy when he gets home)...it does get a little hairy sometimes, but it has been wonderful to spend such quality time with them before school starts. Carson will begin school next week, so I am sure that our lives will become CRAZY WILD, but the great thing about it is....I will not have to worry with being a teacher, mother, and a wife....I will be able to just focus on being a mother and wife!!!! Boy, that sounds good - doesn't it!!! God has really taken care of us!!!! Well, until next time....we love you all!!!

We just got back from the river, then church and lunch today in Lexington, and when we came back to our offices, I checked email and read your blog. The last comments were so sweet that I just had to call Dad and read them to him over the phone (I know you sent him an email too, but I didn't want him to wait to her your sweet thoughts). If we ever start to feel sad that you are in Ohio, I will read go back and reread that blog, and then I will know why you are there. You guys are doing a terrific job in loving each other and loving your sons and training them well. A parent could not ask for more!
Well....as I have mentioned before - I know that we will be back the first chance we get, but for now - we are doing good. We miss you all!!!
