Monster Jam

 We started off Spring Break with the World Monster Jam finals

Kellan was seriously overwhelmed. He just couldn't believe he 

was actually there in person and the trucks were in front of him.

This kid would watch monster trucks all day on tv if we let him. He's so hysterical

about all their moves and says all the technical trick words. It's so cute.

 He even got his tshirt signed by some drivers

 we even took a ride on an actual monter truck

 I love his face in this picture. Am I really here???

 when we pulled up he said, " Is this the real Monster Jam stadium?"

Mia kept saying she loves NASCAR and not Monster Jam but let me tell you

she was jumping in the air screaming at them the whole time and couldn't believe

how awesome it was. Kellan didn't have a voice for 3 days from yelling.

fav pic from the night

NASCAR

 Kellan got to go with Rick on Friday to Nascar 

and absolutely loved it. 

 waving to all the cars 

 Mia got her turn on Saturday

Mia had a really awesome story with Jimmie Johnson

she was waiting outside his trailer and one of his crew chiefs

came out and said to come with him but told Rick he had to stay

She got to go inside his trailer where Jimmie Johnson was putting his socks

and shoes on. She got to talk to him about his race, see his trailer, and then he said

I think you need a new hat, and he went to grab one in his cupboard and then decided to take it

off  his head and give her that one instead and signed her other one. Rick said she came out 

beaming. She told me it was the best day of her life!

This is the hat that he gave her and she even slept with it all night. So cute!

February

 Well 3 is just as hard as 2 was, he's scared of monsters so

we are back to running into our room at night, his favorite word is 

whatever- thanks Kyse from Xmas, and he is still always worried about

whether everyone is happy or mad, he will be a stinker and then say mom are 

you mad, dad are you mad? Don't be mad be happy it's a beautiful day. This kid!

 Mia is just reading away, she's been reading the Little House on the Prairie books

and watching the reruns, she asked if there was anything bad on one episode and I said

there's probably worse stuff on Disney cartoons! She's still in dance but is just loving golf so

much and is impressing her coach. 

 just my cuteness

 Rick and Mia got to go to a Daddy Daughter

dance at Bunker dance a few weeks back so Rick got her a flower to 

wear and they went to Olive Garden and off to the dance, meanwhile

Kellan and I went to pick up food and as we were leaving, he said, "mom I thought

we were on a date?" So we stayed and ate and he was so cute about it. 

 Mia got invited to a golf tournament last Saturday last minute and 

so she went. Well the kids were all at least 5 years older than her as you can see

and she did the best, she's sooo consistent and focused and has an amazing drive apparently!

Her coach was very impressed with how she handled herself out there and he was just beaming.

He has very high hopes for her :) 

 Her partner- I need to post the video 

 This is me pretty much. I remember my aunt telling me she doesn't know

how I go home and take care of kids by myself after teaching all day because her kids are grown

but she's so exhausted every day that she just crashes. Trust me I wish I could just sit and chill, because I am definitely drained. Daily. 

 Today I did my Willy Wonka Candy Machine presentation and

I woke up to 5 messages from parents telling me their kids were puking including

my main part Mr. Willy Wonka, I was crying, Rick offered to be Willy Wonka , ugh 

I thought that was the worst of it but then I get to work and kids are just dropping like flies

running to the bathroom to puke. This was all that was left by the end of the day. 

We did our best but

I was sad about it. 

 Last weekend, Nicole and the kids surprised me in my classroom,
Hailey was standing at my door asking where Mrs. Blaser's class was 

I was totally surprised. Anyway this was the only pic I got but as you can see

my kids were absolutely in heaven with their cousins all weekend. It was soooo fun 

to play and see everyone. Then I planned a secret night at the Redrock for Valentine's Day

with Rick ( we've been super grouchy at eachother lately) and then Kellan got sick, I got sick and

was pretty much having chills and a fever all night and didn't sleep . Oh the joy 

 Mia has been wanting Spock to sleep with her so she convinced

me to put his bed in her room well it pretty much rocked his world,

can you tell by his face? He was up all night screaming and kept coming in our room

and standing where his bed is suppose to be and just screaming .

So we moved it back.

Rick and I decided sleep is over rated, if Kellan isn't waking us

up, this face is.... it's so ridiculous.
