Fair Days!

 Thanks to Aunt Shelle's suggestion we got Mega Passes for the kids which allows them to ride all the rides they want by wearing a wrist band! 
Aunt Shelle and Uncle Cody were heroes and took the kids right after school on Friday.
Aunt Shelle sent me this picture to see if I could find Madi!
 Tripp took a friend along and had a blast!
Madi and Maci tend to like the same rides so they are perfect riding partners!





 They had a blast and Madi was smiling from ear to ear when we met them late Friday night to get her!
 Saturday morning we were the heroes because we picked up the kids (minus Tucker since he had a soccer game) and headed to the fair bright and early. 
 We first went and saw all the animals before the rides began.
 Then for the next 4 hours the kids rode ride after ride!
 Tripp was quite the trooper riding all the kiddie rides with the girls!
 Then Tucker met us after his game was over and the boys were able to ride some scarier rides! 
 We stopped for some yummy fair food but then it was back to the rides!


Taking a real quick rest while the kids were all on rides!
Maci was getting tired and wanted to ride on my back so she could rest up.
 This ride was quite scary but Tripp and Tucker rode it time and time again!  Most people would walk by and just have their mouths open at they saw what it did!
 At the end of our time, we stopped and watched the seal show.  I loved how Tripp just grabbed Maci and threw her up on his shoulders so she could see the show too.  :)
We were exhausted after spending the day at the fair so I can't imagine how the kids felt, but they didn't show it.  They were all sad when it was time to head home!

Soccer, Football & Bounce Houses!

 Saturday we cheered on Number 18 at his first soccer game of the season!
 He scored at least 4 goals!
 And his team won!
 Go Rattlers!  I think he's been on the same team for at least 5 years now.
 The girls entertained themselves well during the game . . .
 They took turns pulling each other around!
 I also had this cutie help me vacuum out our car while we were out running errands. 
 Saturday evening we had the Foleys over for the Tech game. 
 We took breaks and read some stories too!  It was a super late game but thankfully Tech won!
 Sunday after church, we enjoyed our Back to Church picnic where we invite people all over to get back into church.  We ate yummy hamburgers and snow cones and the kids ran around and played on the bounce houses!
 Sunday late afternoon was friend time with Devyn!
 We are ready for another fun-filled week with the wonderful fall weather!

Big Ben

 Monday was an emoji kind of day!
 Tuesday, I told her she'd be too hot in this outfit, but she wore it anyway.  At the end of the day, I heard "Mom you were right!"
 Wednesday she was twins with Gracie down to the straight hair!
Wearing our new gymnastics clothes!  Also, Tucker and Maci joined gymnastics at the same place on the same day and time so now we get to see them every Wednesday.  And I get to do math homework with Tripp!
 Thursday
 Uncle Jacob and Aunt Bonnie are on a fabulous trip to London and Madi asked if they were going to Big Ben.  Well, they did and sent her a picture!
 Friday
Gracie's mom posted this picture of her lunch with the kids on Friday!
I love getting to see a glimpse of her day at school any chance I get!

Weekend Fun!

 Madi got a slime recipe from her friend Gracie and it finally made the perfect SLIME!
 She was so excited to show me!
 Saturday evening she was ready to go with Devyn to her brother's birthday get together!
 Devyn's mom sent me fun pictures of their day together!
 Rosa's for dinner is always a good time.
Then Adrenaline City for a night of fun!

 Matt and I enjoyed a date to Salt Grass and some shopping while she was away having fun.
 Sunday after church our Sunday School class grabbed lunch and met at a park for a picnic social.
 The kids had a blast and we enjoyed visiting.  It's also the park where they have the 9/11 flag memorial.
 Later that afternoon we took Maisen to Menchie's to celebrate her 10th birthday since we missed her party.
 She loved her gift and we enjoyed celebrating with her!
Ready for another great week!
