Wild Hairs and Cotton Pickers

Ty loves dressing up! Here he is in Dylan's cowboy boots and Jonah's hat.

On our "trip". I think he looks so cute asleep.

Landon...spitting image of his dad.

The kids making a wish at a fountain in San Marcus.

A bridge....seriously they were really excited about it.

Jonah Boy the cotton picker.

Jonah and a fellow cotton picker...looking cool with a bandana...wish I'd thought of that. And notice that while Jonah has a ladies hat...the other kid had a Japanese rice picking hat...neither one quite authentic;)

During the skit..picking his cotton...he was very diligent;)


So a quick run down of events in our FANTASTIC life;)


1. We are kind of dorks and decided one day that we needed a mini vacation...so we drove to San Marcus...which is about oh, 45 minutes away. Yeah, that was our wild hair...a 45 minute drive. They have a bunch of outlet stores. We looked in maybe four stores and decided it was way to crowded and the stroller hardly fit in the aisles so we went to "linner" and went home. (Dylan calls a cross between lunch and dinner-linner.)
2. So with February being Black American Appreciation Month, Jonah got to be in a skit for school. It was called, "Then and Now". He was a cotton picker and had to wear overalls and a straw hat...neither of which we own, so thanks Liz for letting us borrow the overalls. Luckily I found a (ladies) straw hat at Walmart on clearance for a buck. He did a great job picking his cotton;)

I guess that is really the highlights. I guess we aren't THAT busy....but still FANTASTIC!!
