Williamson County Fair

Hayden always looks forward to the fair and he always spots it as they start setting it up.  Every year he says the same thing, I can't wait to go to the fair, but I am not riding on the ferris wheel.  I don't know what it is about the ferris wheel, but he is not a fan.  This year he was big enough to ride some of the bigger rides and some of his faces were absolutely classic.  He even screamed at the carnie a few times to stop the ride, but by the time it stopped he was ready to do it again.  Emerson was content sitting in her stroller watching all the madness. She did love working the farm and petting all the animals, but probably enjoyed her ice cream sandwich she earned by being such an amazing, hardworking farmer. Emerson and I headed out early as it got pretty hot and the boys stayed and had some man time.  Before we left, Hayden said he wanted to play some games so we told him he could get some money out of his piggy bank.  Well, he was not happy about that idea.  He told us he couldn't use the money because he was saving it up to buy a plane.  I thought how interesting and asked why he needed a plane.  His response "So I can fly all around the world and spread the word of God".  I should have known!  Of course, after that, we could not make him spend his own money.  

Stuck like glue

The other day I waked in to Hayden rolling around on the floor with Emerson, squeezing her tight and singing..."You and me baby, were stuck like glue".  I had no clue he remembered that song, we used to sing it all the time.   I had to snap a quick picture to capture that moment.

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue

Beach Trip 2012

As we do every year, we head down to the beach for the Fourth of July.  We always look forward to this trip, as there is really nothing like the beach.  This year we were blessed with amazing weather and the water was the prettiest I have ever seen it.  We spend the first few days with Kathy and John as they hosted us at the Lamb's amazing house in Santa Rosa.  Then we headed over to the condo as we the Tweel family decided they would join us this year.  Hayden stayed in the ocean 90% of the time with Gabbi.   The first few days there was a sandbar and we found tons of sand dollars.  The kids had a blast digging for them.  Emerson just wanted to snack on whatever was in the cooler.  Nothing really fascinated her that much.  She played in the water a little, played in the sand, but I don't think she was amazed by the beach.  We look forward to this trip every year and it never disappoints.   Its always hard to pack up and leave, but knowing we made special memories will keep us coming back, year after year.
