Splishin' and a Splashin'









Mother's Day 2009


I'm officially a week late now...better late than never right?! Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers I know. I, for one, had a fabulous day thanks to my precious babies and fantastic husband. They definitely let me know that I'm appreciated, as well as the things I do. They did all the housework on Saturday and Sunday, got me breakfast from Panera, cooked me lunch after church, and gave me a massage/mani/pedi gift certificate along with some of the trashy magazines I love and chocolates. Sunday night our children's choir at church did a musical performance, "Father Knows Best." It was great. Sydney had a couple lines in this one and did an awesome job. I love watching her perform.
*I love you guys and feel so blessed to be your mommy and wife.*

Arkansas vs. LSU vs. "The Weather"

A couple weekends ago we went to Fayetteville to watch the Hogs play LSU. We got there a little late Friday, but it actually didn't matter because the tornado sirens had just gone off and the stadium was cleared. Lovely weather to be driving in, right?! As everyone slowly began trickling back in, we did too just to dry our seats, sit for about 30 seconds, and head back under the concourse to stand for an hour waiting to see if they were going to call the game. And they did! It worked out well though because we got to spend some time with Bubby. They planned on starting a double header the next day at noon but when Kyle knocked on our door around 9:00 we knew that wouldn't be happening either. Once again we were hoping to see some baseball but were glad to spend time with Bubby.
The game was then rescheduled for 5:00 which actually did happen, yea! In the meantime we had lunch with our friends Boni, Travis, Emma, and Hannah, and then went to their house in Springdale to play until the game. Sydney and Emma had a ball together.
Carson and Hannah just kind of did their own thing. They had tickets to the Saturday game too, and since Carson doesn't actually sit in a seat Emma got to sit with us. The girls had so much fun calling the Hogs and chasing down Ribby for a picture.
Luckily we were able to see the one win of the weekend since we had to head back to LR after game one.
