It was cool enough to wear jeans!!!



This wasn't really the highlight of the weekend, but it was close. :) I am so ready for summer to be over and to enjoy the cool, crisp days of fall. After our open house yesterday (zero visitors) we took the kids to a nearby town for their annual festivities. Julia had the best expressions all afternoon. I wish I'd gotten a picture of her with the ducks since that has become her new favorite word. I'm so grateful the d's come out nice and clear!









Sam fed the goats, didn't want anything to do with the cow or the sheep, and would have taken a cat home with him if we would have let him.




As we went from activity to activity Brian shared stories of the years he attended this very same event. The petting zoo is on the grounds of the church he grew up in so his family has a lot of history there.



Three little monkeys (Isaac, Kieran, and Sam) jumped until they dropped.


Food perked them right up!


and then Sam wasn't afraid of the dragon anymore and decided to do some climbing. Kids these days sure have fun stuff to do!



We ended the night by watching a helicopter take off.

Technically we ended the night with a major battle with Sam over getting pajamas on. Since it was jeans weather, it meant he couldn't sleep in only a diaper without getting cold in the middle of the night. We were both extremely frustrated by the end. For the record he slept in a t-shirt and a sleep sack. He put up quite a fight. Not fun for anyone involved.

  1. What a great collection of photos! Thanks so much for sharing some so I could add them to my post, as well. And for the head's up about the fair. Didn't know Brian grew up in that church. We did end up going up there after we parted ways with you. They had quite a set-up up there! Great animal shots, too.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
