Great East Texas Balloon Race 2010

We woke up this morning to at least 20 balloons passing over Longview as they got ready for the balloon race.

Ashton was more interested in the helicopter flying around. (that is what he is pointing at)

I love it when they call me big pap-a......

We had the best seats, right in front... they are blowing up the balloon for the national anthem.






Coltons favorite balloon was the pirate, it was the last balloon shown.

Puddle Jumping

I think that all these boys need to be happy are: water and dirt to make mud. I will never forget the Texas rain. It rains so hard the water pours over the gutters....... making puddles. And it is really hard to just walk by a puddle if you are under the age of 5. So in passing you must walk directly through the middle of the puddle to ensure the biggest splash. Then re enter because of the excitement of splashing MUD everywhere is FUN!!





Enjoy the movie!

Trip to Arkansas

Spider man is supposed to be getting ready to go!

Slide in to home plate and......SAFE
While Jeff was mt. biking we were playing in the dirt. Ashton fell and it all spiraled out of control from there.

Making a dirt angel

I think he has caught one inch of air.

And Colton is SAFE too.... but his was on purpose.

Look under his foot (there is a little skate board) He is practicing his ollie.

Setting up for his big move: wa wa wa (watch)

The ride home is now peaceful!

In the future... about 12 years down the road he may not want this picture on here:
but he was knocked out!!

He is always styling.

We just call him Super "C"

Movie star!

Super "C" and the movie star chillin'

This is how I found Colton this morning. He was checking out Cabella's magazine, drinking his chocolate milk, while sporting his sun glasses, Spiderman suit and cape from Jackson's b-day party.

Don't you wish you could wake up to this Spider man?

Fun in the Hut

To day we made a hut and the boys of course had fun!

Cheese

I may look charming but I'm a monster!

Water Balloon

Ambush going down!!

When Jeff gets home today he is going to be blasted with water balloons. The boys have been practicing all day to get their ame down.

Alleyfest

The kids are blowing some of the funnest biggest bubbles.



They are painting a little bug car.



He found some treasure.

Diggin in the dirt.

Ashton wasn't to sure about this big blue dog.



Colton planted a flower.

Alleyfest as been fun. Started off as Nina did her 10k that morning. Not to shabby, 8th girl overall 2nd in the old lady age group. Her excuse was if they only had them at 8:30 instead of 7:00am she could run faster.
