Fair 2009

I just laughed out loud when I read this sign! I had to share it!

I love the fair, but I especially love going with my dad. It is fun to be spoiled and to spend time with him that is just for hanging out. Brenda couldn't go this year, so I thought Anna might have a good time going with us. My Dad and I just like to walk around and look at all the exibits and eat a lot of health food (as my dad would call it). Anna loved trying the food. And she loved all the things to look at. She is such an observer, maybe she gets that from my dad.

There was one vendor that was selling a ton of hats and I found the cutest little cowgirl hat for Anna. She looked so cute. We didn't get it though because she doesn't keep hats on very well. Here are a few pictures from our evening. We had a GREAT time! Thanks Dad!

Park It!

On Saturday Brenda, Zachary, Emily, Neil, the girls and I drove up to Dunsmir on Sunday to have a picnic at the City Park. It was beautiful. And the weather was nice and breezy. It was so fun to watch the girls run around and squeal with each other. Anna LOVED the swings! Emily had a great time on the slide . . . going UP them! I just love this little family!

Talk to me!

Anna is always wanting to play with my cellphone (like every little kid and big kid wants!) But I'm not really cool with the random long distance call thing . . . so I dug out my old cell phone a few weeks ago and gave it to Anna. She calls it her "hello" or her "comb".
My dad took her for a walk and I gave him a whole bag of goodies for Anna, which he gave to her when they started the walk. He said that one by one everything was handed back to him, blankie, snack, drink cup, puppy (which is really a lamb), and second blankie. When all she had left was the phone, she opened it up and said, "hello daddy!" She loves to call her daddy. That is almost the only person she wants to talk to. When they got back my dad said I was in trouble, because she talked on it almost the whole hour.
Here are a few pics of Anna and Abby enjoying the "hello".

Anna talking . . .

Abby has something to say! . . .

Okay Abby your turn . . .

Now back to my conversation!
Which by the looks of things it was pretty important!
