Rebel Weekend

We traveled to Arkansas for Tony's neice, Kerri. She graduated from Highland Highschool. Home of the fighting Rebels. Don't doubt me when I tell you that the school has rebel flags hanging everywhere. Apparently the memo about policital correctness hasn't quit reached Arkansas yet. We're so proud of Kerri. She got a scholarship to play basketball and will leave in August after a summer of working and running basketball camps.

We had a great weekend and even made time to take Jake to a carnival for his 2nd birthday. He made cupcakes and as you can see in the picture he loved sharing them.

Yes, the basketball star is ducking so that I won't appear to be quit the midget that I am... thanks Kerri.


A proud mother and her baby girl...


Kerri showed Jake how to throw water balloons.


They had 3 cats in all. Jake was fascinated and even managed to squirt toothpaste all over Momma cats leg. Yikes!


This duck pond was all he really wanted to do at the carnival. He won a beach ball.


Papa helped him ride the horses.


This dinosaur ride was tons of fun until it lifted in the air. That movement was followed by two solid minutes of crying until it came back down.


We made cupcakes and a cake loaf. Yum


Jake handed out cupcakes and we all enjoyed.


We spent much of the weekend playing hand and foot. It's addicting!
