State Fair

This year Jeff and I went to the State Fair with Hunter, Lauren, and Tillie! Now, there is something you need to know about how my family enjoys the fair. We basically go for the food and not much else. So, all of the following pictures are basically of food...that's just how we roll.



The first sampling of the day was PUMPKIN funnel cake!!!!! It had cinnamon, icing, and caramel on top of it. YUMMY! 

Then we went to get some corn from the same place we have gotten our corn for several years and look who we bumped into! The funniest part about this was that we didn't even plan to run into dad and Anna, it just happened. I'm glad we did though, it was nice to have some time together.

Jeff got his once a year giant turkey leg:

Lauren got her once a year fried Oreo's. The only difference was that this year she got them fried in red velvet batter. I got to taste one and it was good, but boy was that sweet!

Anna got her once a year fried Uncrustable's sandwich. Look carefully at this picture and notice all of the powdered sugar on that fried PB&J. This is what led to the following picture:

Anna chocked on the sugar and ended up spewing powered sugar all over dad's shirt. It was quite amusing to watch!


Then we were heading to the Little Village so I can see all of the old time crafts. On the way there Anna (aka. cat hoarder) found some lovely cat hats and of course had to get one for Tillie. 

Adorably cute picture of dad and Tillie; she couldn't take her eyes off of him!

It was very bright outside so Tillie borrowed my sunglasses for a short bit:

 After a long day of snacking and walking we were all beat and headed home on the tram. I stole Tillie on the ride back to our cars because, let's just admit it, she is adorably cute!

The weirdest part about the fair this year was thinking that this is the last year that Jeff and I will be going as a couple. Next year we will have a little one to join us in a stroller!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:   I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red. Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut: I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters: Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached: This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down: And viola! The words are finished! To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids. After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!
