Jay's Mario Legos

Jay had read in a lego magazine that there was a contest to create something out of your legos, take a picture of it, and you might get shown in an upcoming issue of the magazine.  So, Jay decided to make a creation.  I have to say that I was pretty amazed by what he built.  He built a Mario and Luigi, a red shell, a brown goomba, and a yellow ? box.  He also drew and colored the background all by himself.  He worked so hard on this project, and it turned out awesome!  Great job, Jay!!

Cow Appreciation Day 2011

Each year, Chick Fil A has a "Cow Appreciation Day" where if you dress up like a cow, then you get free food.  Well, this year mommy chose for you boys to participate.  As you can see in the picture, you are 3 of the prettiest cows that I have ever seen.

Yaya's 59th Birthday

Wow!  Yaya is OLD!!  We all went out to eat tonight at Longhorn's Steakhouse for Yaya's 59th birthday.  It was a special night because Uncle Nathan, Aunt Jenny, and Gigi were there also.  It was the first time in a very long time that we had all been together.  I think it made Yaya very happy....and it made her birthday a very memorable one.  Happy Birthday, Yaya!!

Riley - "Let's Go!"

Another one of Riley's original hits!  When he is a big star, we can always look back on these and hold them over his head!

Rasslin'

For 11 years, mommy had kept rasslin' out of the house....no one was allowed to watch it, talk about it, etc.   Well, you can only keep rasslin' away from little boys for so long, and she finally caved in and let you guys watch it.  Let me tell you...it wasn't a cave in, it was a full-fledged avalanche!  You boys pretty much eat, sleep, and breathe rasslin'.  I guess that you get it naturally, though.  Yaya will always tell you the story of when I was a little boy, and me and dad took her to watch live rasslin' for Mother's Day one year!  I remember growing up, and it came on TV every Friday night.  I had to be home to catch it all.  My favorites were The American Dream Dusty Rhodes, Nature Boy Ric Flair, Wildfire Tommy Rich, Chief Wahoo McDaniel, Abdullah the Butcher, Andre the Giant, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, Thunderbolt Patterson, etc....I could sit and name them all.  You boys like John Cena, The Miz (who just happens to look just like Uncle Joseph), and The Undertaker.  I would like to tell you boys...and your mom...that it's just a phase, and that you will grow out of liking rasslin'....but that would be a lie.  You will probably continue to watch it....and like it just the same!
