Youth Fair

This weekend Samantha got to do the youth fair. For five dollars she spent two days doing fun activities with grandma's dog Bonnie. It was a taste of 4-H for her. She really wants to do 4-H with my moms dog so I thought this would be a good intro. They had many different things for kids. Photography, bunnies, chickens, and the one that cracked my mom and I up.... riding lawn mowers. This is Samantha in the stall she decorated with Bonnie. It is a picture of a picture so sorry its not perfect. These photos I took while Samantha learned about dog obedience. Not something Bonnie knows much about. Samantha also made a poster all about Bonnie who loves to eat shoes. It also contained info about beagles that Samantha looked up. And I know this is about Samantha, but I had to include this picture because it is my favorite kind of dog.

Food driven


Joshua has always been the big boy. He was big in the womb and he is big out of the womb. He can inhale food faster then most grown men. Well, yesterday he proved just how food driven he is. In the great northwest the weather doesn't always allow you to head out doors to plan. In those moments I sure am glad we have McDonald's. Not to eat at, but to play at. Yesterday was one of those days. We met some friends and the kids had a blast playing. Even the boys are old enough to enjoy it. At one point in time I noticed a mom with a teary eyed boy. She was walking my way. "I guess you met your match." Is what she was saying. I said sorry if my boys had been mean. She informed me that Joshua had pushed him down and bit his head. Oh how embarrassed was I. I know he is only 15 months, but I felt bad. Then what do I see but Joshua strutting out of the play equipment holding a cheese burger! No I hadn't bought it. The mom informed me it had come from her son. Really Joshua really!

Stuck

"Mama, look at me!" Kellina

"Where are you?" me

"Under the little table" Kellina

"Oh! Do you need help getting out?" me

"No I can do it" Kellina

A few minutes pass.

"Mom, I need help I'm stuck. How did I get in here any way?" Kellina
Stuck but still willing to pose for mom.
