My Lil Pepster

 This week was Lil Pepsters at the school. Since Amelia is now 3, she was old enough to participate. They taught the girls 3 cheers and a dance. They practiced 3 days this week and then performed at the pep rally this afternoon and at the basketball games tonight. Every practice and at the pep rally I couldn't get Amelia to go out on the floor to dance or cheer. I think it was overwhelming to her to be around 60 girls. But tonight she surprised me. She grabbed onto Emerson's hand and walked right out on the floor, she was the first one out there. She did most of the cheers and all of the dance. I was surprised at how well she knew the actions since she didn't do any of it all week, but she had been watching.

A little trip with the mayor

Today the mayor aka my dad and I took a little trip to Manhattan for the day. The big well museum was given am award by the American concrete institute Kansas chapter for best project under $6 million. We went early, had lunch in Salina on the way, drove around the north side of town by the stadium, visited Kyra at GTM, visited Aggieville (including a beer at Rustys) then off to the dinner/awards ceremony. A nice day.

Trav's Birthday

Today was Travis's 33rd birthday. We had a nice evening, he requested fish tacos for dinner. Then I surprised him with a peanut butter pie and his parents and my parents came over to share it with us.

Truman and dad sharing pie.
Pat got Travis a racing game for the xbox for his birthday. Travis and Ray sat and played together. I've never seen Ray do anything like that before.

Grandma Pat and Truman "racing."

A word from Travis when asked about his birthday and if he had any deep thoughts, "I don't have any deep thoughts."

Super Bowl Sunday

We had some friends and family over to watch the Super Bowl game. It was a fun time, as usual. And of course, there was lots of great food.


The kids dancing to the half time performance. I am not sure that I want my little girl shakin it like Beyonce though.





Jedidiah got locked in Truman's bedroom by himself with the lights off. It was dark and he was scared. This is the rescue mission.


Rescued! Yea!

Bang Bang.

Amelia decided to jump off the chairs. Then Truman decided to try. The chair fell over on his noggin and put a hole through the wicker back.
