dance dance

Honestly, I don't want her to be a welder by day exotic dancer by night(Flashdance, for those of you who are lost), just vicariously fulling my desire to wear leg warmers! Ballet started on Wed.


shame on me, I know.



He LOVES our bed, he gets excited and buries his face in it, this time he was extra pumped and squeally.

all the way to the top

Dennis followed him the whole way up the stairs. Now it's his favorite place to sneak off to.

more fair and more etc...

Yep, another country fair... I went one morning with Mindy and Tina and her two little ones. The kids were so good as we wandered and visited. The event was ended with the sharing of super fresh and warm funnel cakes, and a 50cent cup of warm cider. yum


Herr's always gives out free snacks! Sweet Owen wanted to hold E's hand all the time. Unfortunately E is not the touchy feely type. She's more like her dad. She held it for a bit, but I'm afraid she might have hurt Owen's feelings at one point.


This time it was my son trying to hold on to Tina's daughter, Mia.

Seeing the chicks are probably the highlight of this fair. Except this year you had to hold them over the tray, which made it a bit crowded.


check out this peep's expression...e could have loved this thing to death


Owen was a little more cautious.



Mindy was such a help with the kiddos, we love any chance we have to spend with her before she leaves for Germany!




I love these jammies, they were hand me downs when Jesse wore them. But in my gusto I ripped them when I took them off V!


J is serious about the game of Life.


uh huh...I don't want to talk about it



This is for you Elicia!! E is wore this for the first time, a gift from Elicia years ago, all the way from Turkey...or was it Morocco? Anyway, she had told me that toddlers wore them as dresses, but only now will it fit and stay on her shoulders. LOVE IT!


Dennis likes to put our children in baskets.



Baby legs are back.



The boy loves loves soft things.


So I know every mom thinks their kids are beautiful, but I think we can all agree that I'm not just being biased.

Fair, etc...

It's that time of year, fall and fair, the weather was perfect, even chilly in the evening, which means I need to be better prepared next time, the baby was cold.





We started out by eating right away, beek brisket bbq and then right to the ice cream.



"you are not sharing with me, i'm not talking to you"

Then we entered the kids in the kiddie tractor pull. "How fun this will be" we thought...yes it was fun when they went, but oh....my.....goodness, from the time we signed up to the time Jesse went, it was 2 HOURS!!!!!! I got a few pics, but I really need to read my manual to get some better ones at night.

When she first got on and the man was explaining that he would giver a push at first I could see her saying "I want to do it myself".

It's like pulling teeth to get her to not be goofy in a pic these days! She's so fun sometimes!


V waited patiently by playing peek a boo with himself.


J finally going, he was sooooo dirty by the time they got around to his age group.

The tradition of playing on the equipment.

A pork bbq

the only time dimples on your butt is cute

"ooo, what can I do with this?"

" i can eat it!"

My new view out the back. Den picked it up from a job, needs another swing and a slide, but they love it!

slugs

We were at Den's mom's last Friday for dinner. She was keeping some kids of friends for the weekend, the sweetest girls ever. They act very grown up and are very polite (they also have a little brother that they take excellent care of) and you begin to wonder if they are real. It was drizzling but we let the kids out anyway and they started hunting for slugs! You should have seen these girls, definitely real.




spider was chilling out, hanging from the middle of the porch, i tried to avoid it but still managed to walk through a part of his web and it was following me and I did a screechy dance and the baby (who was being held by someone else) did not like it

new goings on

You want me to do what with this?

When we gave him the spoon and would only chew on the handle. any other time we give him a spoon he puts the correct part in his mouth....ah well....he's obviously not starving.

Also we are doing this now....







too fast!!
