OC Fair
Here are a few pictures from the OC Fair. Despite the fact that it cost an arm and a leg, the kids had an excellent time. Jack is SO obsessed with farm animals so he thought that the whole petting zoo, animal farm thing was just great. He wanted to touch every animal that he saw. Emily loved the huge ferris wheel. She loved being way up high. She had a great time on all the rides and playing games to win stuffed animals. Great time but it definetly hit the wallet pretty hard.
Circus Fun
There is no way that I'm going to be able to go back and blog about all the fun stuff we did this summer, so I'll just highlight some of the favorites.
We got to go to the circus again this year and stay in the suite. It is such a great show, I just wish my kids appreciated it as much as I do. It took Emily about 3/4's of the show to get used to the loud noise and everything that's going on. She spent most of the time in a corner or under a table. When she finally mustered up the courage to actually watch it, she really enjoyed it. Jack would watch the show for a while and then play inside the suite for a while. Super fun!
I love this picture. Blake is such a good older cousin. Jack adores him and thinks that he is the coolest. As soon as Blake realized that I was taking a picture, he let go of Jacks hand immediately :-).
Grandma and Emi
The elephants are always impressive

Birthday parties for the kids
Oh my goodness, am I behind. I will try my hardest to play catch up over the next few days but I make no promises.
I guess I'll go all the way back to the kids birthday parties.
This year in an effort to save a little bit of money, we decided to do one big birthday party for the kids. We mostly had family and close friends, so it didn't get too out of control. We had a bouncer, played some games, did some water balloons, lunch, cake and presents. It turned out to be a beautiful day and everyone seemed to have a great time.
I can't believe my little girl is 4 and my little guy is 2. I am so proud of the kids that they are turning out to be. They have truly completed my heart and made me a better person. They are both so different and are turning in to such good little friends. They are starting to play more and more together every day. I hope that I can show them everyday how much they've blessed my life and how important they are to me.
Maggie got Emily a Best Friends Forever necklace. They're both wearing them in this picture. They're so sweet.
All the kids loved the water balloons. They only took Matt and I 2 hours to fill up, no seriously.
Playing one of the games
Some of the girls in the bouncer
Cakes, cookies and cupcakes
Yum, yum
Jack and Cousin Lauren loved getting wet in these buckets. We couldn't keep them out of the water.
Presents
Jack on his actual birthday. We had Papa and Grandma Doerr over for dinner and sundae's.
Jacks new big boy bike.
Emily's birthday party at preschool
