Daddy's Birthday & the State Fair of Texas

On Friday we went to the State Fair of Texas. We were there for 4 hours. We walked around a lot. We saw a bunch of animals. We checked out all the crazy types of food--all fried. They had fried peanut butter and jelly and banana sandwiches, fried ice cream, fried hamburgers, fried pizza, and fried butter. We decided to try the fried butter since we thought it was so weird. I thought it was going to be a spoonful of butter that they dipped in batter and fried, kind of like fried ice cream. Not at all! It was more like buttery dough that was fried up with jelly on top. That's what we got on ours. We also took the kids on the Star of Texas, the ferris wheel. Teeny loved it, and was trying to climb all over inside the cage-thing. Monster, on the other hand, did not like it at all. He started to freak out when he realized that we were going up high. It's so weird that a child so small can have a fear of heights.



The baby piggies that Teeny wanted to pet really badly, but she couldn't reach them.



I forgot what this was called, but it is some sort of goat from Europe somewhere, I think. I thought it was crazy because it has 4 horns.



This is Big Tex. He is the talking cowboy in the middle of the fairgrounds. After we saw him, every time we saw a picture or drawing of him Teeny would say, "Look, there's Big Tex!" It was cute!



This is what we watched right when we walked into the fairgrounds. There were some pirates doing a demonstration, and one of them had climbed all the way to the top of the mast. He dove into 8 feet of water.

On Friday, September 11, we went out to dinner for Daddy's birthday. We went to this really yummy Mexican restaurant in Godly called Del Norte. When we got home, we had some cake and sang to Daddy.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
