Helping Grandma

A while back, my mom came over and washed her car. Of course, Konner had to help! Let's just say that mom is way more tolerate about Konner getting her hair wet then she ever was with me and Kim growing up! Konner never gets in trouble with Grandma! Anyway, Konner found Grandma's umbrella and the scene was just too cute not to take a few pics. My is going to kill me b/c of the way her hair looks, but the moment was precious!

Charlotte Knights Game

Back in April, Konner's tball team, Mets, was invited to be guests of honor at one of the Charlotte Knights' home games. Only about half of the team was able to go, but they all had fun! They all went out of the field with Coach Bryan and teamed up with one of the Knights' players. They went out on the field with their player during the National Anthem. When I asked him later if that was fun he said "yeah, but I was a little afraid of the brown-face man." I couldn't help but laugh! Kids say the funniest things!
They were able to meet a lot of the area mascots because it was Homer's b-day. Homer is the Knights' mascot. They really enjoyed that! I took Konner for a little walk around the stadium to release some energy, and all the mascots were signing autographs. Konner had all of them sign his t-shirt. That was very cool to him!

USS Carolina - Wilmington, NC

I know I am way behind on my updates! I am trying to catch up today - a lot has been going on!
We went to Wilmington, North Carolina with Kim and Shawn to visit the big battleship there. It was a great trip that the boys loved! As you can see - it was a couple of months ago, so it was chilly. We really were able to see every inch of that ship! I was impressed with all the things we were able to do and see. We were able to get a feel for how things really are when you are living day and night on the ship. I tell you though - you can not be a very big person on those ships! They passageways and stairways and seat etc. are very small! Konner was the perfect size to easily climb around and move around without worrying about bumping his head or fitting in and out of some of the "holes" you have to use. The rest of us had to move around with caution! We had a great time - we even took the boys to the beach before we left the area. It was cold but they both wanted to go swimming! I had Konner's swimsuit in the car so I put that on him and he would run in and out of the water having a blast! Shawn did not have a swimsuit and was not allowed to go out very far and get all wet - he was very upset about this! He basically pouted the whole time at the beach b/c of this! Konner - though was having a blast and even tried to catch some seagulls!

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful time with the family on Easter Sunday! We hosted the Easter egg hunt at our house again and had a wonderful dinner for everyone. It was a very pretty day with no rain! It was fun to watch the kids have so much fun and enjoy each other's company.

I hope everyone has a very blessed Easter Sunday!

Lowe's Motor Speedway

Yesterday we took Konner out to the racetrack to see his Uncle Mike drive a race car! This was all part of the Richard Petty driving experience. We had a lot of fun! Konner was in HEAVEN!!!!! We were right down on pit road and up close to everything going on. Shannon and I tried to get the boys to turn around and look at us for a minute for a picture, but they totally did not want to take their eyes off the racetrack! Mike first went for a ride-along at about 160+ mph! He said that was better than driving b/c of the speed! Then he drive drove by himself and went about 135+ mph. That seems plenty fast to me! When he was done with everything, we were just standing around talking and one of the guys came up to us and asked the boys if they wanted to take a ride around the racetrack. Konner and Nolan immediately said "YEAH!" But Bryce was not wanting to go at all. Being the mean Aunt and Uncle they are (ha ha) Mike and Shannon made Bryce go and he did fine. I don't think he loved it as much as Konner and Nolan, but he did just fine! We all loaded up in a big van and went around the track. It was amazing to see up close how steep the turns are. We all were sliding to the left of the van every time! The boys LOVED it and it was a great way to spend a beautiful morning! Thanks Mike and Shannon for inviting us to come along!
