Tonight was our end of season party for the Swiper's. We met up at Tappy's Yogurt for a yummy treat! We learned last season NOT to have it at CiCi's anymore.....WAY too crowded when everyone is doing their parties there too. The girls got their trophies, and had a blast hanging out. AND yes, we will be back for another season. Somehow, we are going to try to make soccer, dance, and gymnastics all work out, as well as all of Blake's sports too. How? I am not sure yet. I will keep you updated on that in the Fall.....

Kindergarten FUN
The chicks have hatched!
Part of kindergarten's curriculum is to learn about about the life cycle of a chick, so they get to actually see eggs hatch into little chicks. Right now there are 13 that have hatched. The three above are the first born chicks. This is a pretty neat experience for the kids. I hear about these chicks every day when we get home. After they are finished learning all about them, they will be sent to a farm where they will be raised.

Six Flags Fun
Friday was our annual trip to Six Flags to help support Children's Medical Center. I always love going on this night because the park is closed to the public for this private party. Well luckily for Children's Medical Center, it was much more packed this year. They were able to sell lots of tickets this year, but that meant the lines were longer! We still had a blast. This year we went with our great friends, the Todd family.
We got our picture taken with lots of characters!
We rode lots of fun rides too!
Doing all of this with our best friends!!!!
PS....I got this picture off the internet, but I actually rode this bad boy! I was screaming the entire time! Blake was cracking me up though because he was telling the man sitting next to him that I am a screamer. Blake was talking the whole way through the ride. He loved every minute of it. I'm glad he loves these rides as much as I do!

Texas Stadium Implosion
Today is a sad day! Texas Stadium is gone! It was such a big part of my childhood growing up in Irving. I have so many wonderful memories from that place, from attending concerts, high school football games, and Dallas Cowboys games, etc, etc!!!!!! I even used to work there with my church youth group growing up. I drove by the stadium almost every day. It is going to be so weird driving by there now!
I couldn't sleep last night, and kept waking up from having lots of dreams about Texas Stadium last night. I woke up about 4:30 this morning, and then started getting texts from my sister about 4:50, and from then on, I was up waiting anxiously to watch the coverage on TV. It was amazing to see. It even made me tear up a little when they were playing music to the fireworks and then to the actual implosion.
Luckily, my sister got two VIP media passes to the big tent they had set up. She was so sweet to take Blake as her guest. I can not tell you how excited he was to get to go. He talked about it for days leading up to it. What an experience both of them will remember FOREVER!

Revels 2010
Saturday was Revels in Kilgore for the Rangerettes. Mandy and Mom took little Miss Priss with them. They met my aunt and cousin out there too. This is a yearly tradition, so this was by far not her first visit. We are prepping her to be a future Rangerette. She is actually going to Rangerette camp this summer! They had a great visit, and saw a great show! Brooklyn can't wait until next year!
