Michael at his 4th Birthday Party. It was a Lego Indiana Jones Adventure Party

The kids went on a scavenger hunt through the house to find the crystal skull.
Reading the next clue.
Here, the little archaeologists have to assemble the bones they found to receive the next clue.
Here, they are coming back down the stairs after finding some gold bars in a treasure chest. Little do they know the boulder (my huge exercise ball) is about to come crashing down behind them. It was pretty funny!
Here they are in the mummy gallery. They all had to disguise themselves as mummies to receive the next clue. It was hilarious...probaby their favorite part.
All the birthday guests before they left.
This is the Lego game, Michael's party was based on. He LOVES Indiana Jones.
On his real birthday, a few days before his party, we celebrated at home, just the 4 of us.

Michael was so excited to get the Lego set he wanted.

Matthew and his 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Moss. She is his third (and we hope, final) teacher this year. His first teacher had a baby and then he had a substitute for 3 weeks. Matthew adapted well through it all.

Matthew and his initial 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Roberts. She had to leave because she had a baby. It was a boy and she named him Matthew. Matthew thought that was so cool. She chose that name for the same reason we did, because it means "gift from God".

Mark took me to the Keith Urban, Sugarland concert for our anniversary. This is huge for Mark because he doesn't really like country music. However, after the concert, he admitted that Keith Urban was "pretty awesome" (his words).
Keith Urban rocked...he's an amazing musician!!! The best concert I've ever been to.
Pretty good seats!
This was as good as it gets as far as getting a pic with Keith! But I'm not complaining...it was a GREAT night!
