Welcome to the Family Boys

Dear Anthropologie,

Why Do You Have To Be So Expensive?

These Items Would Be An Amazing Addition
To My Closet ...

Love Her

Tonight I am babysitting the kids ....
and I am grateful for my niece...
As we said prayers before bed she mentioned me over and over in her prayers.
How grateful she is for me , how nice I am, how much she loves me, and how grateful she is for me to be her aunt and that I could watch them tonight.
Then after saying "amen" gave me the biggest hug and kiss!

Love Her

Thank You For Reminding Me I Have So Much To Be Thankful For

Arizona State Fair 2009

A few weeks ago a few of us decided to take a little trip to the State Fair...... 3 of the 4 of us got wristbands for unlimited rides and here you go ...... the ultimate fair experience!!!

Behind us you can see the 8 - 10 year old boxing ring...... who signs their kids up for that???

Petting 1 of the 2 pigs at the fair

1 goat to see

Bran swimming in the fun house.....

Our "special" slippers that wouldn't stay on..... guess you can't just wear flip flops

She's excited .....

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

No fair is complete without fair food.... nachos, popcorn, and a corndog

YUM - O

Good thing we had Shels .... someone had to hold our bags : )

Love the gum, wrinkles, and double chin

Love the colors in this picture

Love my Shels

Swings

These 2 ladies went on anything and everything... not me I'm a wuss

Great Time At The Fair... Doesn't compare to the Good Ole' Clark County Fair back in Vancouver, Washington I grew up going to!
