Oh The Fun!

Today we took the girls to our county fair. We all had a wonderful time. Emily loved the rides and the animals. She was so sweet the whole time. SK did great too.
We let Emily ride the roller coaster and she was soooo excited till the ride started and then she has NEVER looked soooooooo terrified. She just looked frantic. Steve and I were laughing so hard because we had NEVER seen her look like that before. I felt terrible for putting her on such a big ride and I got scared that she might try to jump out. Steve LOVES roller coasters and scary rides. He was getting a kick out of it.

He asked me if I took a picture of Emily during the ride and I told him I was to nervous and scared for her to take one. Steve remarked, "you looked real nervous and scared...you were laughing your head off!" When she got off and got composed, she said, "I'm not used to anything like that!" We can tell that she is real proud that she rode it.


The picture was taken when the ride was over. The reason Emily wanted to ride this was because I asked her if she wanted to ride the kiddie roller coaster and she was thinking it had something to do with cats. (kitty roller coaster)

Hog heaven!
What is up with these fancy sheep????

Emily doing one of her favorite things in the world.


On a different note, I am still sad about having a new cell phone. I am missing my old one. I am looking at it right now. (I have a lump in my throat) I am going to keep it forever. Maybe one day take to Antique Roadshow.

Also, we found out after a second visit to the M.D. that Sarah Kate had an ear infection. She is fine now!

You are hilarious!
I so wish you had a video of Emily on the roller coaster. Poor girl!

Maybe you can have your old cell phone bronzed and then you can keep it on a self forever....I'm sure they would help ease the pain! :)

I have never seen more, um, interesting sheep- I enlarged the photo and it was even more bizarre!

We went to Legoland in January and my 3 yr old son cried the entire time on the kiddie train. And we stood there laughing and taking photos. Such understanding parents!

Maybe someone on ebay has an old working model of the phone you like?

We went to our town's county fair too on Saturday. Mary-Kate had a lot of fun, but there were a few rides that scared her like what scared Emily. I saw the same reaction.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
