IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!

It's fair week. We go to the parade every year, it is tradition!!

I took some pics that Mack wanted me to. He liked the black police car the best. Mya hated the sirens, it was way toooo loud for her.

Grandma & Mack loving the parade.

Another on of Mack's favorites.

Grandpa & Mya kind of enjoying the parade.

My niece Maisie is on the very bottom right.

Some weird Aztec float, I think this was Ladd's favorite float. (ha ha)

I definitely want this set up some day.

Mack & Mya enjoying the candy!! We had a lot of fun watching the parade. My grandma & her husband watched it with us along with my parents!! I was actually impressed this year.

I just can't get enough....

of this cute baby, HADLEIGH!!

On Friday we got to babysit Hadleigh while Jordon & Heather went out on a date. We had so much fun. I love babies, especially this one because she is so cute & cuddly. Mack also was excited to see her.

Mya was so funny with Hadleigh. She was very curious to see what we would do with a real baby. Mya would bring us Hadleigh's blanket, Binky, bottle and want us to feed her. This picture she was trying to talk to Hadleigh.

My Mack Attack is Sick!!

Mack got a touch of the stomach bug & is SICK. Poor thing!! Doesn't he look cute sleeping with his hands up by his face? Today was a big day for Mack. About a year ago we went with some friends to get some shoes for her kids for school. Since sketchers are a big deal for kids that is what she bought for her kids. Mack really wanted some, but I told him after looking at the price, he could wait until he was big enough to go to school & then he could get some. Well a year later my little man is going to preschool. Mack never ever forgets anything, so today we went shopping for some sketchers. He even found the cool light up police ones that he saw on TV. Mack was so excited. It was kind of cute because he wore flip flops to the store but packed with him some socks so he could try on his new sketchers & wear them as soon as he bought them. He put them on right when we got into the car. The whole day he ran & jumped everywhere we went. On the car ride home he started complaining that his stomach hurt & that I needed to put food in his belly right away. I told him we were almost home to wait. He did not like that answer & threw a little fit & then he told me his belly hurt bad. So I asked if he was sick. His reply was no, but his throat hurt. Well we got home gave him some milk & crackers. He seemed fine. A few hours later he was yelling again that he was super hungry & his throat hurt bad. Yep, sure enough he threw up on the carpet. So I hurried him into the bathroom & he has been sick ever since. I hate when my kiddies are sick. I hope you feel better soon buddy!!!

Girls just want to have fun!!!

The other day I bought Mya a baby. Since Jordon & Heather have had their little girl, Mya has been interested in babies. It is so cute! She plays with her baby all the time. When she firsts sees her baby she screams "Baby, baby" in this high pitched voice and then she runs over & gives her baby loves. I even caught her the other day holding the cell phone up to her baby's ear so she could talk on the phone. Mya is a good mommy!!

Mya has been so fun lately. She is definitely a little girly girl. I am not used to girls so it is fun to see how a little girl is like. She is in to shoes, makeup, chap stick, painting her toe nails, bracelets, babies, & she hates when something yucky gets on her hands. With being a girly girl also comes the mood swings which are not so fun or the tantrums, but we love our little girl anyway!! Don't get me wrong she still loves to follow her brother around everywhere trying to do the boy stuff. She even makes the truck sound when she drives cars around. Mya certainly has a mind of her own & is quite stubborn for a seventeen month old. Once her mind is set on something it is very difficult to change it or distract her.

I was in my bed room trying to fold laundry when I heard a banging noise. I came out in the living room & found little miss Mya banging her feet on the table. As soon as she saw my scared face she just started laughing!!

After I took her off the table told her no and put the chair back, she immediatly threw a huge tantrum with her face in the carpet and her feet kicking the floor. Soon she stopped ran over to her pink chair gave me this mischievous look & hurried & tried to put that on the table & sit down before I told her no again. Isn't she so sneaky?

Happy Anniversary!!

I know this is a little bit late, but better late then never!

On August 8th Ladd & I celebrated our six year anniversary!! Wow how six years goes by so fast. So many things have happened in just six years. I am so blessed with everything that I have, in six years we have been through a lot. There had been a lot of good times along with the bad. We have had two houses, two cars, one old truck, and we have been blessed with two beautiful children and a crazy dog. I am very lucky to be married to my very best friend. I love ya babe. Happy Anniversary!!!

Summer Weekend Adventures

This last weekend we were bored so we decided to take a drive and we brought the four-wheeler along. We ended up at Morgan's bridge. When we first got there we all jumped on & went for a ride. We ending up going up this little mountain. It was kind of funny because we brought Roscoe along and he chased us the whole way up. When we got to the top I was worried that he was going to have a heart attack or something because our cocker-spaniel is over weight & not used to a five mile run up a hill. On the way back down we put him up on the four-wheeler with us. I wish we were with someone who could of took a picture of us. Mya was in the front then Ladd, Mack, and I was squished in the back corner while Roscoe was on the other corner.

As soon as we got close to the truck Roscoe bailed off the four-wheeler and went to lay under the truck in the shade where he could RELAX.

Mya was excited to go for a ride.

After riding the four-wheeler we decided to go look at the river & see if we could catch any fish. We had no luck!!! But the drive was FUN!!

...........................................................................................................................................................................

On Sunday Ladd took Mack fishing with his nehpew Race.

Mack got lucky & caught some fish. He caught a few sucker fish & two trout. He was so excited that as soon as he got home we had to cook up the trout. Mack even ate the fish.

Race also caught some fish including a three pound trout.

These two buddies had the best time ever!!

Feeding the Geese!!

What is more fun then feeding the geese on a beautiful Sunday afternoon?

As you can see Mack was very interested in all the geese & the ducks. He thought it was funny to see the ducks put their heads in the water & watch their butts come up into the air.

All three of them had fun feeding the geese. Those geese are not shy & come right up to you demanding that you give them something yummy to eat.

Mya was not shy either. I was a little nervous she was going to get bit, but lucky enough she didn't.

I finally got a picture with Mya looking at the camera. After we ran out of bread to feed the geese she wanted to go get them in the water. After trying to fight her to not crawl in the river, it was time to go.
