The County Fair

We went to the county fair this weekend and the kids had a great time!!! They rode lots of rides and ate funnel cakes and played a few games.

Back by popular demand this year the pig races.

They have the machine where you rent and return them RIGHT when you walk in the main door we always go in. Normally she tries to push them and get in, but you can't get them off the rails unless you pay. Someone tried to return this to the wrong machine, so when we walked into the mall and she ran up to this one and pushed it and it actually came out so they just climbed in and we had to push the silly thing around all night - such goofballs!!!

Pride 2010

We were so excited to have Ciara's cousin Corey join us for Pride this year. It was the first time the kids and I got to meet him and everyone LOVED him!!!! Lex was asking for him today...just saying "Corey, Corey, Corey".

I love comparing the pictures through the years....

2010

We went to rainbow family day at the local pumpkin farm. The kids had a great time, and we got to meet a lot of families.

I was so excited about the pony rides, but this was as close as we got. Luckily they had a policy that if your kid freaked out and wouldn't get on the pony you could get your money back. Maybe next time!

Apple Picking Year Two...

We found a new place to go and pick apples this year and we had a lot of fun. We went with our friends who have a son a year older than Tyler and a daughter a year younger. The kids had a blast. They had a raspberry patch also and Alexis LOVED them, she just couldn't get enough, I think she ate more than that got into the bucket.

Here she is with her little buddy Ryleigh.

What a difference a year makes!!!

The boys and their Ipods.

Again...last year she could only look at the apples.

My Dad Came Home!!

After 11 weeks in the hospital my dad got to come home today!!! He is using a wheelchair and a walker but is doing really well. We are all so happy to have him home!!!

Tyler discovered a new love. Skateboarding. How did I get so lucky? Makes me think that las months staples will not be the first. He is just learning how to ride one but is already at the skate park going up and down the hills and stuff.

Lex had fun playing with rocks in the rain garden.

Zoo Day

We went to the zoo today to meet up with some other mommies. We of course were running so late we didn't get together with them at all but the kids seemed to have fun. Unfortunately about half of the exhibits we went to were closed so they didn't actually get to see that many animals. I think we're going to try again during the week so that its not so crowded and we can get to more of the animals.

The seals and sea lions are my favorite. Unfortunately today they weren't really do much of anything!

This is Lex looking at a bear. Who was actually awake and moving a little bit.

In the Amazonian exhibit.

Mostly Photos because I'm tired tonight but wanted to share:)

I took Lex to the playground by my Dad's new facility. She had a great time playing on all the stuff. They even had a special section for toddlers (it was the playground that belonged to the daycare).

YAY I LOVE PRIDE

Milestones: She's taking steps independently - I think 18 is her record so far. She's cutting her first two teeth. She now knows two signs, all done and water, she uses all done for whenever she wants us to do anything for her (mostly pick her up since we taught her it first to get out of her highchair) and she uses water for anything she wants to eat. If we don't give her what she wants she points to what she does want and then signs water
