LA Fair!


Belle with her favorite corn-on-the-cob, and her new friend the goat.  I think the goat liked her corn more than her.














These lambs were just born the day before we were there.











Caleb the strongman!  He loved all the picture spots.


















Belle playing in the snow.



















Caleb sledding down the hill.  Belle did this too, both kids loved it!












The sled was bigger than him, but he wanted to carry it by himself.













Belle drinking her coke.













Caleb at lunchtime.

















My chocolate covered bacon!!  It was really good actually.












Jared's lunch, a foot-long sausage with peppers and onions.



































All gone!  He ate the whole thing!















Belle fell asleep for a little while in her stroller.  She was all tuckered out, poor thing.
















Caleb riding the airplanes.











Caleb loved this ride!  He sat all by himself and did not want anyone to go with him.  We even caught him putting his arms up during it!  Such a wild boy!













Gotta have my honeysticks!  Weirdest flavor available?  Had to be the avocado.  They didn't use avocado flavoring, but the bees that made the honey were only able to collect pollen from avocado blossoms. 









Belle found this in one of the little outdoor stalls, and once it was in her hair, we had to tear her away from the mirrors, she loved it so much!














Jared and I were really thirsty on the way home, so we decided to go through a drivethrough.  We figure we'll jsut split the biggest size they have, so we order the Mega.  Who knew it was a Mega-Jug?  We were laughing soooo hard.  I have never seen a drink this size from a fast food place.  I think it goes with the family pack from KFC.  












All in all, a great fun day!

Midnight Sun Petition

So there is a petition for Midnight Sun happening.  You can go to www.SaveMidnightSun.com  or follow this direct link to the petition here.  Even if you are not a huge fan of the books, you can still sign the petition to help the rest of us out, and to just help her feel better!  I also have a link to www.supportmidnightsun.com in the upper left corner, which is a sister site.

First Day of School!

Today was Caleb's first day of school. He has been counting down the days, and was very excited that today was the day! He gets to have Ms. Shana and Ms. Jessica again this year and was very excited to go see them again. Of the 18 kids in his class, five were in his class last year, plus a friend from church is in his class too, so he has lots of friends already. We are very excited because this year Caleb gets to go to school three days a week (last year he only went two) and he goes from 8:30 to 11:20 in the morning, so we are preparing him for kindergarten next year.





All ready to go!


















This was the closest to a nice normal smile we could get out of him.
















Caleb always has to take funny pictures














Another funny face.




















Belle really wanted to go too. She got her boots and backpack on and was ready to go, except for the jammies!
















Getting out of the car at school.













Yay for Playschool! This is outside his building.

















Putting his backpack away.



















Helping Maddy put her backpack away. Caleb is in the same primary class as her at church and was happy to see her.

















Sitting on the rug, waiting for school to start. The mommies normally drop the kids off and go, but we had an orientation today and had to come in to fill out the emergency enrollment cards.









It should be a great school year!

In Support of Stephenie

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

So by now most Twilight fans have heard about what has happened with Midnight Sun. Stephenie Meyer feels very betrayed (and rightly so) by having her work posted without her approval. Reposting this image is one way you can show your support of her and her writing efforts. I love her books, and have read the first chapters of Midnight Sun on her website, and really hope she eventually is able to go back to it and finish it.

Mallorie's Hula

Mallorie learned a special hula just for Eric. She danced it for him right after their first dance as husband and wife.
