John got an autographed copy of The Winner's Manual sent personally from Coach Tressel! What a great gift!

We loaded up and took a short road trip to Hot Springs, AR, about 90 minutes away.
Grandma loved keeping Scarlet happy in the truck!

Gotta love the limo!

we didn't get there early enough to jump no this tour bus/boat. Maybe next time :)

This is a "bath" house. They are lined along the main street. I really
need to take advantage one time before we leave the area.

We had extraordinary weather, beautiful sunshine and a bright
blue sky! Grandpa got some special time with Scarlet outside!

Still haven't caught anything :(

Kids playing with Daddy and "showing off" for Grandma and Grandpa.
They were visting from Ohio for Ryan's spring break and John's birthday!
The boys were super excited!

" Wanna see my tricks, Mommy?"

"There, happy now, I'm sitting"

"Yes, very impresive, I know"

"OK, enough, I'm being cute, can you PLEASE pick me up again?!?"

"Look, Mommy, at my dinosaur dance...."

"All done"

He may not stay put, but, a napping boy is a happy boy
and a peaceful house is a happy house!

Knowing how excited my boys get when there's goodies baking
in the oven is definitely enough incentive for me! :)

We ate at a place called Fat Daddy's, it was yummy! Ryan really enjoyed
coloring the hot rod on the menu, he's quite the artist!

Corey actually ate very well!! That makes us all happy :)

...And Scarlet didn't know what to think!

We were bored Saturday so we decided to take a short road trip to Shreveport for dinner.
It's about 90 minutes away. Corey and Scarlet cooed and sang the whole way, Ryan snored!

You can hardly tell, but there's a big fountain behind Ryan...we'll try to get there earlier next time :)
