The Greatest Show on Earth!

The circus is in town! We were so excited to take the boys to the circus this past weekend. Jackson went last year and loved it! He was so excited to go again and couldn't wait to see his favorite part....the motorcycles! I was a little worried on how Beckett would do because he was going to have to skip his morning nap and I didn't realize the show was 2 hours long, but he loved it! He was clapping and pointing and made it through the entire show! This first picture is my little superhero! He loves to put on multiple layers of clothing....he has 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, and 2 shirts in this picture.
 We ended up going to the circus early so that the kids could onto the stage. They got to see an elephant play basketball, danced with clowns, and played limbo. I coudln't believe that Jackson just jumped right into the congo line!
The circus crew! Payton, Aidan, Kylie, Mollie Ryan, Lanie, Jackson and Beckett. They had the best time!
 Jackson certainly couldn't resist a light up Dragon sword! I am not going to even document how much we paid for that piece of plastic!!
 Beckett taking it all in!
You can't go to the circus without getting some cotton candy! Bonus! The cotton candy comes with a hat :)
 Beckett's first taste of sugar heaven!
This week was winter break and Jackson had Monday off, so we headed with the McMurry's to Tellus Museum. It is full of all things boys! This was our first trip but definately won't be our last! Here are the kids in front of the largest truck I have ever seen!
 Dinosaurs!
 Jackson in front of the first plane. He was so excited to see that the first flight was on his birthday, Decemer 17th. He said "Mommy, they did it for me on my birthday!" It was so cute!
 Panning for jewels!
You even get to keep your treasures!
Digging for dinosaur bones.
 My little astronaut!
 Shark mouth! I really can't believe there were animals that big in the ocean!!
 Beckett even enjoyed it! He loved walking in between these flower pots.
Brothers playing with the drums.
Outside the museum was a huge hill! The kids loved running up it and rolling down. They must have done it 10 times!!

We have some big news for our family! We put our house on the market!! We listed it on Saturday and had our first 2 showings on Sunday. It is definately not going to be easy with 2 kids and massive dog during showings, so hopefully it won't take too long to sell! I will definately have mixed emotions if it sells. I love my house. It is our first home together, we brought our sons home from the hospital to this house, and it is filled with memories of Gloria. We will just have to see what happens!
