Rocky Creek Maze

This past weekend we took a short drive to Moulton, Texas. It's about an hour away which isn't that bad, the kids just kept asking all the way there are we at the Surprise place yet? My friend Debra from nursing school came with us along with her children Lauren and Alex.



The surprise place is called Rocky Creek Maze - they have few things to do there. The kids really enjoyed it. They have a hay slide, train barrel ride, duck races, and a corn maze.

Here is the web address if you want to take a look. www.RockyCreekMaze.com

the above pictues are of the hay slide the kids had the best time on this we probably spent an hour just on the hay slide.

This setup they had pumpkins for sale, we didn't get any but too cute not to take pictures with the scarecrow. The following picture is a cute cut out of some animals in a corn field dad didn't get the whole picture of them but you get the jist of it. It says We're lost at Rocky Creek Maze.
Here is a picture of the kids on the train barrel ride. A good use for the John Deer riding lawn mower. Here we are in the corn maze getting lost.

Picture of all of us in the middle of the corn maze we are looking for clue # 3. There were a total of 10 clues. We did the first 5 and the kids were hot and tired and wanted out of the maze.

Here is a picture of the maze that we went through.

At the above picture Matthew and Aubrey are playing with the duck races. When the wind hit all the water blew back on to them. Aubrey was totally soaked after playing. But they had fun.

This is a video of Aubrey and I going down the hay slide. She wouldn't go down by herself so Mom to the Rescue.

I loaded more videos last night but I don't know where they went. Will have to load on Thursday night since I work till 10pm tonight. There was one of the kids milking a cow (fake of course), one of Matthew going down the slide and the last one was of the train ride.

School Pictures

Here are the school proofs that we got back yesterday. I took a snapshot of the ones I will be ordering. They look better in person, But these will have to work Richard and Patsy.

Enjoy!

Waiting out Ike and Birthdays!!

So this year Matthew turned 4 and Aubrey turned 3, although we didn't do a big party for the kids they had a blast. We actually ended up doing 3 little parties since Hurricane Ike ruined our other plans.

One night we did a pre birthday party with Aunt Deanne so she could get on the road and head back to Little Rock. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids with their gifts.

And here is one of the balloons I picked up. They were Super excited about the balloons.

After this little party - the next day we headed to Cuero to stay with my parents and pretty much the rest of the family along with my brothers friends.

We had a good time and so did the kids. We had another party for them, made a birthday cake together, played washers and lots of games. Here are some pictures of it.

The kids opening their fishing poles. Matthew got Batman and Aubrey got Barbie.

Then the following week we did a little party again at Grammie and Grandpa's so they could give the kids their gifts. Here are the pictures.

Hops, Jumps & Flips!!

So Tuesday nights have now been filled for a while now with Gymnastics! Aubrey has started and has been going for about 3 weeks now and absolutely LOVES it. Actually I think she is pretty good at it. But afterall I am her mother, some people might say I'm a little one sided. Here is a picture of little one in her outfit.




I'm Ready Mom


All GRINS!

Last two days in Hawaii

So yes I know it has taken me a while to post this but things have been a little CRAZY since we got back from Hawaii. Thursday night we had a rehearsal dinner at Jason and Christina's condo. Jason's parents did a lot of grilling and it was all very good. More family members flew in this night and we had a good time. Here are a couple of pictures from this night.
