Fair 2010

Well our trip to the fair was very short this year.  We planned on going on Wednesday since Kendall is out of school at noon and the weather was going to be great.  What we had not planned on was Avery continuing to get sick!  We thought it was just a cold, so we headed to the fair.  We had dinner of our usual favorites-corn dogs, burgers, and curly fries.  Then we hit the barns, petting zoo and stables to see all the animals.  In the petting zoo I thought Avery was never going to stop coughing! We washed up headed to the Pioneer ares for some hands on fun and then to get some ice-cream.  At that point we decided it was time to go home since A was still coughing.  The fair was short and sweet, but we still enjoyed ourselves, we will have next year to look forward to.

As for Avery, hate it when I am right, but it was not allergies she has fluid on her lungs beginnings of pneumonia and on antibiotics! 

Who's cat is it?

We have only had Yoda for about a month now, but can you guess who loves him????????????

Avery is so cute and evil with him!  She chases him, pulls his tail and ears all while smiling big, but he just lets her with no complaints, and when she is not around whose bed and blankets does he choose to cuddle with but hers!  It will be fun to watch the two of them grow!

Labor Day 2010

Gosh, I guess I am a little behind on the blogging, oh well.  The weekend after school started was Labor Day.  We decided we would stay home and finish up projects around the house before the rain comes.  So we did that, but on Sunday we joined our close friends the Marcele's to celebrate their new property! They purchased an amazing piece of property in Orting and will be building their dream house soon.  We had a BBQ, brought the trailer for all our needs and even had a bon fire with s'mores.  It was a great ending to the summer and we can't wait to see what the Marcele's do with their property!

School's in

Hard to believe but, September is here and the kids are going back to school! Kendall is off to second grade at a new school and Logan is officially in Kindergarten at St. Nicholas. I know everyone wonders where does the time go! Logan started school on Wednesday September 1st, 2010 and Kendall started on Tursday September 2nd, 2010!


Logan was thrilled to go back and see his old friends and Mrs. Adams!

Kendall was a little nervous, but also really excited to start her new school and make some new friends!

Here is to a great 2010-2011 school year!

Meet Yoda

Well after our vacation we were all pretty tried, but needed to gear up for Fall.  Kendall started soccer, we finished up school shopping, worked around the house, had a playdate with the Cyphers, Avery got sick with a horrible ear infection and the we got our new kitty- YODA!  He is a boy and about 8 weeks old.  We lost our last cat to a Coyote and we won't be declawing him.  Yoda will be an outdoor cat once the spring comes, but until then the kids are overjoyed to play with him!

So Cal Vaca Day 9 Disney

Well sadly, day 9 was our last day of vacation!  It was amazing, but we  conquered the parks so we decided today would be  kids choice.  Each one picked a ride or something they really wanted to do.  Kendall went on Screaming California again 4x total over the trip!  Logan wanted to do Buzz Lightryear again and happily for him Buzz was there!  Avery wanted to go see Minnie so we played some in Toon Town! We had packed up the car before we headed to the park, so we did the parks and then headed to the hotel to get the car. We left around 2ish ate "Linner" at Buca De Bippo and then headed to the Long Beach Airport!  On the way Austin and I were talking about how great and smooth the traveling had been!  What were we thinking!  We dropped off the rental car and headed into the terminal/portable to find out the flight was delayed for at least 2 hours due to mechanical difficulties!  Great- glad we ate so much because there is nothing at the Long Beach Airport!  We finally flew out at 9:30-the time we should of landed in Seattle.  We arrived in Seattle to an open ramp, picked up our stuff to find out we couldn't up to the main terminals without security clearance.  Since I am wanting to remember this trip happily without the nasty taint of Alaska, I will stop the story there, but let's just say I don't ever want to fly Alaska again!   All and all it was an amazing trip and I know we will be back to California again!

So Cal Vaca Day 8 Disney

It is now day 8 and this was planned to be a long day!  We had lots to do-shopping, parades, rides, world of color and a rock star! It was our second to last day so I told the kids they needed to shop instead of looking because we didn't want to rush around looking for things on our last day, so shop they did! I had also made an appointment for Kendall to be transformed into a Rock Star and we had fastpasses to World of Color in the evening.  So we spent all day between the 2 parks only going to the hotel to drop off our purchases- one downside to not staying at a Disney hotel, but we got our exercise for sure that day walking over 20 miles according to my pedometer watch, which is really accurate :0) It was a long, but great day!
