When I was in 5th grade, my teacher (whom I loved) would draw a bottle of Ketchup on the board one day out of every six weeks. She was a really great artist (this is where my love for colored chalk began) and would write "Ketch-UP day". Now, in my infinite wisdom, I completely understand the need for an entire day of catching up on unfinished work. In my case, I might need 2 months to catch up. But here's my first attempt...
We attended Family Fun Night at church a few weeks ago. The theme was based on going on adventures with your family. We had a treasure map and watched movie clips of Chronicles of Narnia for our clues. We had a lot of fun and seeing sweet friends made it even better!

| Watching a clip from the movie - one of the few moments where Kendall was actually sitting still! |
 |
| Jackson and Caroline enjoying some yummy Chick-Fil-A. You can see my son's two favorite food groups are chicken and cookies. |
 |
| If it were up to Kendall, she would still be drawing on the giant dry-erase board. |
 |
| I tried to get a picture of John and Kendall together. Kendall loves John! We finally got him to pose, but she wouldn't have anything to do it! Isn't his shirt too cute? Caroline's is just like it only different colors. Ann has the best taste! |
Timothy came to watch Jackson's eArLy game Saturday morning. Kendall was so excited when he pulled up, she took off running. Jackson was already warming up, so he didn't get to see Timothy until after the game. He came running out of the dugout asking to go hug Uncle Timmy! We have missed Timothy and Jessica so much!
Mom, Jessica, Timothy, the kids and I had lunch together and then went to see the movie HOP. Zach and my Dad were working and missed out on the fun. HOP was a pretty cute movie - well the beginning is cute. The napless wonder struck again so Kendall and I roamed the lobby until the movie was over. Jackson really liked it. We spent the rest of the day visiting at Mom and Dad's house. It was a great day!
That Sunday Zach took Jackson to Red Raider Play Day at Jones Stadium. Athletes volunteer their time at different stations (hula-hoop races, bounce houses, face painting, jump roping, sack races, t-ball, etc.) around the stadium. The kids travel from station to station in groups. Jackson had a great time and said that all the athletes were really nice, but the girl athletes were nicer than the boys. Hmmm...I wonder if he might have been flirting?

| Double T face painting |

| Doesn't he look good on the field...maybe someday?!? |
 |
| Running a race |
 |
| Hula Hoop Time |
 |
| He was so excited he got to drink from the "hoses" like the football players. |
 |
| The athlete's shirts - Zach said, "I took this picture so you could include it in your blog." Sweet boy! |
 |
| Working with his team |
 |
| I have to honestly say I have no idea who any of these athletes are, but Jackson was so excited to take a picture with them! Zach said they were really nice to Jackson! |
Blessings,
Kelli
