Happenings of the Day

First and Best! My Ruby Slippers came in the mail!!!!!!

We are going to be characters from the Wizzard of OZ this Halloween. (I will be Dorathy of course...)

Are they not super cute?! And you better believe that I am going to wear these suckers to church. Can you imagine what the Primary kids will think?! Awesome.

then I made this little thing of Endry that I printed on paper to cover up where my plastic desk drawer thing had a giant, ugly sticker that would not come off. (I know important stuff, huh.)

   

and then I went to paint lots of things dark brown. (The photos make it look lighter brown then they really are) Anyway, the one on the left use to be white and will now match Endry's new room decor. The one on the right is 1/2 finished. It will also go in Endry's room

Finally, Mom and I found really cool things a Big Lots and we decided to go get them. She got a nice entry table and I got 2 of these desk organizer things ($19.50 each). Jeremiah slaved for about 2 hours to put one of them together for me. (He is such a good husband) I am loving how much more compact my desk area is and how much more storage I have now. It is great!

Walks — hard work!

Caleb and Endry fast asleep after a long walk in the strollers.

 Julie and I have begun a 2 mile walking ritual.

Endry's 1st Hair Cut

Grandma Naenae held him very still and we trimmed up the front, back and around his ears.

all done!

his locks of hair....that I did not save. (just not that kind of mom)

a Perfect Day at the Park

Endry and Daddy

going through the cool tunnel

Laughing at Daddy at the top of the slide...he liked the slide.

first time in the kiddy swing and not quite sure about it...

nah, this is nothing to be scared of!

Endry beat Daddy at Tic Tac Toe

doing pull ups instead of going down the slide.

he loved to sit on this rocket even though he couldnt make it do anything

Mommy and baby

nothing like eating a leaf on the railroad tracks!

Iowa State Fair 2010

The Iowa State Fair is like a giant playground for wonderful food! This is my second year going and I think it only got better! Grantid last year I was like 7months prego and so stinking hot and tired I could hardly stand it...but it was worth it. This year it rained...not a lot but some. Renee and I were OK with that cuz it kept the temperature cool which was AWESOME!
We also did a little sight seeing while we were there too.

 

Jeremiah and me happy to be at the fair on vacation. I had to stop to take a photo on the steps of John Wayne's birth place in Winterset, IA (Madison County) 

  

we found this statue of John Wayne that had two real guns built into it and one of the real covered bridges of Madison County 

  

Jay and Renee smooching in the light and Jeremiah and me doing the same 

  

 Renee, Jer and Jay at Aunt Lila's grave (Jay's Sister) and Endry with the Duke

  

 Jer, me and Endry on the steps of City Hall  and a view from the inside out of the covered bridge

  

 small Iowa town City Hall and Jer and me "at the Iowa State Fair"

  

 Renee with the largest pumpkin, over 1,300lbs and a floating marble world that floats on water

  

 sand art of Star Boars...the artists were working on it while we were there. And the lady is a cloth sculpture

  

Renee and Jay playing with the butterfies in the butterfly tent 

  

the three stuges and the first time we saw the sun all day - at 6pm 

the one and only photo we took of us eating food...this is fried pinapple (very good

Random Endry

I know this photo is a horrible quality but I think is is so funny! Endry hangs on to Jay's ears like handle bars.

this is Endry's favorite spot with Uncle Jay.

sitting pretty in his overalls.

Grandma Naenae made delicious homemade blackberry cobbler!

He will sit still for up to 10min if you sit at the computer and play Bejeweled 2.

What does a chigger look like?

this is a chigger....magnified.

And, I hate them.

Me and Endry
