Yee-Hawing Good Time

A Guest Post by Lincoln Sadler loosely translated by Mommy (He has decided that a nap on the way home from errands is all he needs and has been by my side all day, except at the coffee shop for our school date.)

I got to go the the fair with Mommy, Daddy, Bubby, Baby Dub (like the first part of the letter W) and even Papa came. I liked the parade but eating the candy was my favorite part. The rides at the fair were so fun. Even Baby Dub got to go on his first ride. It was hot. I liked the dragon ride. Bubby rode a bucking bronco. I got to see big cows and pet sheep. I did tickle bugs to the sheep. I like the fair.

The older boys waiting for the parade to start.

Obviously, Warner thought the parade was great.

Too much candy!

Finally awake.

Feeding the baby during the parade

Ok enough with the parade pictures, I get it... but they are cute and no one was moving so it works.

First ride of the day, the dragon ride.

So Happy!

Just after riding the bull!

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year). Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different. Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
