Traveling back in time...

This past Sunday night, I got to travel back in time. My sister, 2 of my best friends from high school, and myself were all 15 again for a night. This past Sunday, the 19th of October we all went to see the best boy band in history perform together once again. We went to see......the New Kids on The Block!!!! It was AMAZING! I don't think I was quite prepared for how excited I would be. I think I screamed the entire show! Here I am a 33yr old grown woman, married mother of 2 and I was literally screaming at the top of my lungs "I love you Joe!!!!". Embarrassing now, but trust me at the time I fit right in. The American Airlines Center was packed with women in their 30's screaming and jumping up and down for these 5 men from Boston. There were women decked out in spandex, acid washed jeans and I even saw crimped hair! What a flashback! The show itself was phenomenal. They always did put on a great concert. It was a good mix of their old hits and songs from the new album. It all blended seamlessly. One really cool moment was when Jordan was singing "I'll be loving you forever"....the entire crowd was singing along so loudly that Donnie even made the comment that it was a cool song of Jordan on lead vocals and Dallas TX on background. Guess you had to be there to feel the magic that was and is NKOTB. It's a night I will treasure, much like when I saw them way back in 1991. They really are a great group of guys.

Mindless "super" fun!

I was on one of my mom boards today and this lady posted the funniest link of herself being "super". It was so cute I had to make my whole family super heroes! The best was Will's though, as he is ALWAYS making the funniest faces. Well, they finally came in handy. See for yourself at this link:
MAKE ME SUPER!
And here we are the Super Family!!!

Daddy and Me Rodeo Day

Today was a special day at Will's MDO. They had a rodeo day for the kids and their dads. I took Will to school and then Mike went up there around 10 for the fun! They had the parking lot roped off and had all of these games set up for the kids to play. They had horseshoes, and stick pony races and other things. Topped the afternoon off with a picnic with dad. They both had a fun time and I think it was extra special for Will because he doesn't get much time with just him and his dad :)

Jackets Homecoming Weekend!

This weekend was homecoming for Ben's football team, the Jackets. It started off with a pep rally on Thursday night. They served everyone hot dogs, chips, soda and cake and all the teams were introduced as well as the cheerleaders. The players and the cheerleaders also exchange gifts and all receive their garters and mums. Very cute to witness and really gets you pumped up for the big game! The game was on Saturday at 3pm and the team played at the high school which they all thought was very cool. It was exciting for them to play in such a large stadium and on AstroTurf as well. Before the game they players and us moms walked onto the field where the players were announced and they gave us moms a flower. I admit, I got a little choked up walking across the field with my boy. He's just getting so big so fast. The high school team even let them use the inflatable tunnel that the HS team runs out of. Ben was super excited to get a chance to do that. It was a proud moment for him. The team played a great game and went on to beat the Hawks 31-12. The team remains undefeated and this win sealed their place in the playoffs as well. Pretty exciting weekend for the Jackets!

Doing the "We're the Jackets" cheer.

Dinosaurs Alive

My friend Shannon and I decided to take our boys to see the dinosaurs alive exhibit at the Heard Museum this past Friday. The Heard is a nature museum and mostly outdoors. The dinosaurs are animatronic and pretty large in size and very cool as Will observed. Heather and Acelyn came along as well and we had a pretty great day! Will was a little scared when the dinosaurs would roar, and one dino even spit water on him! We all got a good laugh at Will's expense on that one!
