Annual Trip to the State Fair

Here we are all chipper on the fair train awaiting greesy food, sugar, expensive carnival games, animal smells, and kiddy thrill rides. It didn't disappoint. :)


We started off on the food street. This is what Brian came back with at the table. My brother and I however, opted for the giant turkey leg and knawed on it like prehistoric people. Sorry no pictures, it was too gross.

Then off to the rides. Alex was excited that she was tall enough this year.

Double click on this picture and look at Alex's face.... Classic.

All smiles at the beginning......Alex didnt look so good after this one was over.

Both Grandmas decided to take Alex on this thrill ride.

Here is the train ride home....... And we are spent.

Alex first day of Pre-school

Here she is at 8:15am getting ready to hop in that car, having no idea what is in store for her. At this point she has no idea that I am dropping her off to the wolves. - Clearly indicated by smile. She thinks I am going to school with her.


Here we are in the car at the school with a death grip on her friend Quinn's hand in the back of the car. Thanks Quinny for holding Alex's hand on her first day of school!

Here she is after school waiting for me to pick her up. The teachers herd them like cattle and have them sit in front of the building and bring each kid to the car one by one. A very smooth process.

Another Dangerous Day at the Pool

Tee- Peed

OK, so our house was randomly tee-peed the other night. Brian and I were dead to the world as we had just returned from the lake that night. Rumor has it that the stealthy group came in at about 2:30am?? Anyways, here is my question, why Tee-Pee a house if you have no idea who lives there. Isn't the whole point of Tee-peeing to watch the person you know try and get the toilet paper out? Anyways good job on spending money on top quality cotton-elle toilet paper. At least go to costco and get the business paper thin kind.

Annual trip to the Zoo

We first headed for the Giraffes, Alex did not want to spend the dollar this year to feed them a sweet potato. This economy stinks she says........

Then over the bouncy bridge to check out the sleeping Rhinos. "Mommy are they smelling eachother's butts?" Alex said....

The baby elephant is hiding behind mom in this picture................

Then off to the rest area for a brain freeze icee.

Ode to Daddy

Just want to send a quick shout out to my sweet Bob Villa for Fathers day. Oh how his girls love him so. I love how Brian lives by the moto " If it isn't broke and your bored, just fix it then." Anyways here is a rare look at Brian Hamilton Collection throughout our house, many of which came with blood, and cursing. I love you! Happy Fathers day.
