Our Anniversary

Our 12th Anniversary was last Saturday.

We really wanted to do something special, just the two of us...

We also wanted to spend Memorial weekend in Vermont with my in-laws,

and wanted to do something fun for the kids while we were there...

so we took them to Billings Farm and Museum.

The horses were huge... and incredibly stinky!

(we are making our best "eew, it's stinky faces")

The cows were just as stinky as the horses...

Apparently my kids don't really care to see a cow being milked.

Once the cows started pooping ~ the laughter didn't stop!

No wonder it stinks in there...

The baby cow was pretty cute... and not nearly as stinky as the others!

It was sheep shearing weekend and we saw the whole process,

which is actually quite disgusting...

I guess we will have to wait for some other time

to go out just the two of us!

Happy Stinkin' Anniversary to us!

Disneyworld 2009

Our family spent a week in Orlando with this good looking group!

There was twenty three of us...

3 grandparents, 8 adults, 2 teenagers, 8 kids and 2 babies ~

We spent our first day at the Magic Kingdom.

It was hot and humid... we were so glad we brought our spray fans!

My kids loved having breakfast with the characters. They had so much fun with Winnie the Pooh and friends... although I think Piglet was a bit offended when Uncle Brandon started taunting him with the bacon.

The younger kids enjoyed all the stars from their favorite Disney movies and cartoons at Hollywood Studios. The older kids loved the HSM 3 party!

Can you guess how excited he was to see this fella? My favorite park was Epcot - I loved wandering around the different countries in the World Showcase. France has the most delicious Napolean & Mexico has yummy Nachos!

The splash park was a great place to cool off... after all, it was super HOT!

Now what do I have to look forward to??

Another Artist

She was one of twelve kids chosen from her school to have their art work displayed at the School District Administration building. An Art Exhibition was held last night and we were able to view all of the artwork.

I love her clown!

Remember this?

Kindergarten Concert

She loves to sing and did a great job during her first concert.

(they were supposed to dress up as peasants with aprons...

this hot pink number was all I had!)

She is keeping us very busy this week... more posts to come!

Her first Fall ~

This little lady has learned to ride her bike without training wheels.

She said to me, "I never knew it was so easy!"

That is... until your little brother tries to ram you with his own little bike!
