Snow on the first day of Spring...

I know the first day of Spring was a few days ago now but I took these pictures with every intention of blogging about them. So yes our first day of Spring brought 5 inches of snow to our house...I didn't like it so much but of course Dalton loved it!!! As you can see below :)

Dear people....

*That drive around our town...you continually tick me off when I see you throwing trash out on our city streets...Please FIND A TRASH CAN!!!!

P.S. New Moon DVD release party next Saturday night if you're in the neighborhood stop by!!

I love this song

...It brings back so many memories of my childhood. Our childhood home is about 10 minutes from where I live now...unfortunatley my parents divoced and we moved from that house but it still holds tons of memories for me. I actually cried when I first heard this song. I drive by that house often and sometimes wish I had the courage to go up to the door and ask the people if I could just walk around then 10 acres. I hope to provide memories in a home to my children that they'll always love the place they grew up.

A House Divided

That's a term we see a lot in our neck of the woods and last night it fit perfectly into our home. You see yesterday was the BIG KU K-State Basketball game...and while we live just 30 minutes from the KU campus we also live in an agricultural community that has it's fair share of K-State fans. Dalton just happens to have a little girl in his class who was all dressed up in her K-State attire yesterday at school and apparently they had a little talk about this BIG game. When we got home last night Rocky made mention of watching the game and Dalton replied "K-State is going to win" they made a bet...if Dalton was right he didn't have to practice writing tonight and if Rocky was right well then he would. I missed the first half of the game for aerobics but Rocky told me it went something like this.

Rocky "Dalton KU is winning"
Dalton "Nope K-State is winning"

When I got home lil man was supposed to be in bed and the game was in the second half. He would yell from bed "Dad is K-State winning?" Of course the answer was no. It really took some hard convincing this morning to get him to believe that K-State had indeed lost.

Rocky was so excited about this night though because his son was finally showing some interest in an athletic event. I'm sure there will be many more KU K-State or whatever games that these discussions will take over the family room...and I am totally looking forward to them.
