Trip for More Fish

Well, our fish from the Fair didn't make it very long, so Chris and I brought the kids to the Pet Store to pick out some more fish. Preston got a little distracted by following this cat throughout the store. It was fun for him but not for me. I am allergic to cats and was sneezing almost the whole time. Kayla picked out a pink/orange fish and Preston picked out a blue/yellow fish. Chris picked out several others so hopefully they will do well. Our snails are growing so big. We are hoping for little ones soon and we already have a list of people who want to buy them.

Our 5 Year Anniversary

August 30th, 2008 was our 5 year Wedding Anniversary!

Chris and I went took the kids to McDonalds to get Happy Meals and then took them home for the grandparents to watch while we went to Cruisers Grill for our date. Our 1st time experience was great. I think Chris's favorite part was that while we were waiting on our food he got to play video games. haha  We had some amazing Nachos as our appetizer. I had a Ribeye Steak with a loaded baked potato , and a house salad with ranch/1000. Chris had the Cowboy Sirloin and same sides as me. They had some awesome dinner rolls as well with strawberry butter ummmmmm.

After lunch we went and saw Mirrors with Keifer Sutherland from the show 24! This movie was extremely good if you like scary movies! It was very insane and if you have kids, in some parts hard to watch. 

After the movie we went gathered the children and went over to Jr.'s house and rode three wheelers and visited Great Grandparents. Then everyone came over to our house and we ordered Papa Johns Pizza for dinner and just hung out!

Labor Day

For the weekend we borrowed a friends four wheeler and went down to the river.  We found a little spot for the kids to play in the dirt and we all took turns riding!

A Night at The FAIR

Chris's parents took all of us to the Fair last night and the kids had sooooooooo much fun!We were hesitant about going because it had been raining but luckily it lightened up and the kids wore their raincoats my parents had gotten them for Christmas. Preston barely made the 36'' mark to ride the rides! At first I was a little worried about Preston getting scared on some of the rides because last year he cried on the row boats and we all know how slow those go. Kayla took off running and wanted to ride everything in sight even the adult rides. She threw a fit because she didn't want to ride the bumper cars, she wanted to ride the Sizzler! They both were winners on the duck game and won big balloon dolphins that squeak. They also really enjoyed winning some goldfish... we came home with three. (We already had one fish  so Kayla decided it was appropriate that he was named King, the rest were Queen, Princess, and Prince.) I was surprised when they both went on the spaceship ride. Preston looked at me and said,"I don't like this mommy!" with his eyes so big and wondering why he couldn't sit up. I couldn't see Kayla because she was on the other side of Chris but Grandaddy told me that her eyes were wide open and she was squeezing his arm. They were spoiled with all sorts of foods, blue and pink cotton candy, nachos, lemonades, funnel cakes, and caramel candy apples! We had eaten at Wendy's right before hoping to save some money but ummm guess not. Chris's dad's favorite game is the Mouse Game......he won a stuffed pig, dog, and bear for the kids. Later in the night Chris took off to ride some adult rides! I love FREAK OUT! It is my favorite! Every year I look for that ride and will not leave until I have ridden it. We rode the Tornado and I almost blacked out and got sick. I was running fever earlier yesterday morning and had just eaten all that junk food...haha not the best ride for me! The whole family rode the magic carpet slides. It was so funny because everytime we raced, Chris's mom would get stuck and we all just burst with laughter. We had a FUN FAMILY NIGHT.
