Fall Carnival

 We took our children to the fall carnival. We met my brother and his family there. It was a hit for all of the children....well, all of them except EE. The above ride was her first one, and last one. She just doesn't prefer the rides. Not a surprise. She did the same thing a year ago.

 Here she is in her prefered spot- on the ground- with her cousin Aubrie.

 Lil' G enjoying his time with Mommy on the carousal. I do believe he loved the night- not because of the rides, but because he was attached to his favorite person all evening!

 This is one of my favorite pictures. Ben and CJ are zooming down that giant slide, and it looks like they are both having a good time:)

 CJ with cousin Matti...about to take flight.

 BA with his sidekick on the carousal. I really don't know how the kids like that thing so much. I rode once with Lil' G and it was all I could handle!

 Roller coaster...one of the boys favorite rides!

 Here's a fancy ferris wheel. I've never been on one, and I was thankful Lil' G was attached so I didn't have to worry about getting on one!

Cousins....Fun times! (Now that is a full dino!)

 Just a swinging...

 Me and EE enjoying watching everyone on the rides.

 Beautiful ending to a fun night. And once again, everyone loved the fireworks except for EE. She begged to get back in the van...

And this is the happy squinted face once she got in the van.

Election Day 2012


On this special day- Election Day 2012- we took the children with us to the polls to vote. The older ones really enjoyed it. I must say that I have never seen a child so excited to receive an "I voted" sticker more than EE was. Lil' G slept right through the whole ordeal. Tonight the two oldest boys have the privilege of  staying up late to color in their election map state by state as we await to see who will be the next president of the United States of America. We are so proud to be Americans, and we want to pass that patriotism on to our children.
