I have had some pretty amazing friends through out my life and the following post was sponsored by one of them. I was told to take my kids out and do something we normally wouldn't be able to do and they wanted a report on Monday. They knew with the new job that things were a little tight so they insisted on "sponsoring" this date with my kids. So here goes.... I had a wedding reception for a friend's daughter and the boys did not want to go. Shaylynn started tending these boys almost nine years ago so she really wanted them to come. Since I was able to take them out on the town they agreed to go to the wedding and be nice boys.
So after the reception we headed to Trafalga. They were able to pick whatever they wanted to do in Utah County. This was so much fun since none of us had ever been there. We started off with a game a minature golf. I have only been golfing once so I was kind of excited to see how I would do at minature golfing. Well I started off on hole #5 with a "HOLE IN 1". I was pretty excited and so were the boys. I got 1 more hole in one on hole #16 and ended up winning at 4 under and Wes & Derek tied at 2 under par.
Needless to say we all know I am competative so we were going up against 4 guys. I couldn't be the only girl on the track and let those boys win. Naturally I KICKED their butts and beat them by like 2 laps. Wes came in right behind us for 2nd. I told the guys before we started to take it easy on the old lady so they were laughing at the end when I kicked butt. They were fun and were very entertaining to watch and they were even kind enough to have a picture with us so I could blog about kicking their butts!!!
We then headed back to the go karts for another round of racing. This time Derek decided to drive one and did absolutely awesome!!! He beat me and Wes. I guess it's the good lesson he receieved from me on our first round.
By the time we left it was about 10:45 p.m. and we hadn't eaten dinner yet or spent all of our money so we headed to IHOP since that was the only non-fast food place open.
WARNING: BLONDE MOMENT!!! I have great pride to be able to say I don't have very many blonde moments in life but I had one at IHOP. Something started to bother my allergies when we arrived at IHOP. After itching my eyes so I had no make up on and they were both watering I decided to head to the restroom. I went in, went to the bathroom, washed my hands and returned to tell the boys to go wash their hands because who knows what germs we had from Trafalga. They both headed to the restroom and they went into the same one that I did. I then noticed that it was the "MENS" restroom and I had gone in and out without even noticing and nobody noticing me. When the boys got back to the table I was laughing uncontrolably and had to tell them what their mom just did. I won't blame all of it on being blonde, I will blame some on it being WAY past my bedtime and some on my eyes watering from allergies. :)
We still weren't out of money at this point and since the mall closes at 9:00 we headed to Wal-Mart. They boys each had their limit and were able to get whatever they wanted with their money. They both got a new pair of shorts, Derek came out with clothes and Wesley came out with a nerf football and a basketball game.
We had sooooooooooo much fun!!! My boys were so dang cute and so sweet the whole night. They kept saying, "mom, this is so much fun, thanks for taking us to do all of this"
I love my boys so much and had an AWESOME time with them and look forward to many more dates with them. Thanks KP for allowing this to happen, my boys say THANKS!!!

WOW! How fun!! And what an awesome friend to sponsor that date. I'll bet you and the boys had a ball. That's one hard thing with six kids, you don't get to do a ton of fun things, because what is fun for the older ones, isn't so fun for the younger and vice versa....But lucky you to have had such a great night with your boys.
Oh my gosh! That was the cutest post! What a great idea and it looks & sounds like you had TONS of fun!
What a fun night!!!
I am so grateful and happy for you and your boys. What a wonderful evening that you will all remember. Thank you to your friend for sponsering and you for sharing. It made my day.
Your kids will always remember cool stuff like this that you do together! This is what family is about, I think. Cute pictures!!
What a fun night!! You are such a great mom and your boys are sure lucky to have you!! Keep up the good work.
That is so fun! I swear, there is nothing better in life than being able to see your kids have a blast doing something like that! They will always remember it, and so will yoU!!!
What a fun time. Man, I gotta find a friend like that!!! LOL!! Nothing is better than having fun times with family! I'm sure it will be a night that you and the boys talk about for years to come. And I must say.....YOU GO GIRL!!!! Someone has to show the guys up every now and again!
Oh how cute! Your boys are lucky to have a rockin' mom! :)
Holy Cow THANK YOU for your comment on our blog!!!
Can I just tell you I really enjoy checking out your blog too. You have the CUTEST boys EVER! As you know Ben and I only have girls so it is SO much fun checking out things boys do! :)
I'm so glad you left a comment! Please keep in touch!
First, let me wipe the tears from laughing at you in the men's room. That is awesome. Second, I'm glad you got to do this. You deserve it. Get your mind in the right place when you leave the office!
That is awesome that you were able to take them out and have a fun time. I think i need to do this with my boys soon. Preston keeps begging me to take him bowling and i keep telling him no. I may have to leave Reece with a sitter because all he would do is chase after the ball down the lane. It is good to hear you are all doing well.
I think you have inspired everyone to go out and do something fun with their kids! Looks like you guys had a blast, I haven't been to trafalga for a long time, maybe we will have to try that. You are so lucky to have such great boys too!
