He's still our little Boogie Boo!
Beach season has begun! We enjoyed a beautiful, sunny morning at the beach. And the boy enjoyed the waves!

Maps
The bunny has a new game. She draws picture maps to lost "treasures." Then we follow her map and celebrate with dancing when the mission is complete. Maybe we watch too much Dora...
p.s. Yes, she dressed and accessorized herself today.

My Kids are Cute!
Who can resist this?
They are GREAT helpers! They bathed themselves AND cleaned Daddy's truck at the same time!
My son has outed me. Perhaps we shop there too much? *winks*
Noah has been working really hard with reading and writing. Usually you only have to show him once and he can spell and recognize the words thereafter. When he doesn't know how to spell something, he'll make it up. The other night he spelled and said, "R, J, I, H, spells lawnmower." How cute is that?! I spelled it the right way for him and he drew the picture.
Cheeseball!
She's a mess. Just a mess!

Festival of Lights
Wow! What happened to November? I apologize for not keeping up, and I have a million excuses. :-) I'll spare you the details, so let's just jump in to the most recent event.
Yesterday was the Festival of Lights in our little town and we had a family fun day! We like to go every year and as the kids get older and are able to do more things, it's just that much more fun.
Waiting in line for the snow hill.
Aren't they so cute riding together?!
Train ride.
Mommy and her kidlets.
Enjoying the requisite cotton candy and funnel cake.
*Not pictured - the two giant turkey legs. Sorry, didn't want to get the camera greasy. ;-)
After our snack, we went home to get ready to go back and watch the parade. Made a pit stop at Target and the bunny fell asleep in the store.
Of course I took photos!
There was an article in the Sunday paper about the festival. I was mis-quoted and everything! ;-) One of the funniest things about the article was how the reporter described the weather as, cold and blustery. It was about 55 degrees and windy, but the kidlets were warm enough in their hoodies. And the bunny, as we all know, is FOUR not THREE. ;-) Good thing she can't read, yet. She'd be setting that guy straight!
Here is the excerpt from my "interview."
Linda Harvey brought her two children bundled up in jackets. The children took several rides in sleds on the snow hill.
“It’s nice to play in it,” she said. “But it’s nice to not have to live with it.”
Harvey brings her children every year, regarding the festival as a celebratory beginning of the holiday season.
“This is the a kickoff to the season,” she said. “It’s a good family event.”
Harvey said she remembers bringing her daughter, Jordan, 3, to the festival for the first time when Jordan was 3 weeks old.
“It was her first time out” after she was born, Linda Harvey said.
And here's the link to the whole article.
Enjoy!

Fun at the Fair
Noah's class took a field trip to the fair and I tagged along. It was a great day! The kids got to see a rodeo show with barrel racing, calf roping, goat tying, and bull riding. I'm not sure how impressed they were, but Noah did enjoy his Coke.
Everyone got a hat and Sheriff's star at the gate. Noah wore his hat for most of the day. I was impressed!
The boy had a blast petting all the animals. He was so sweet and gentle this year. (Last year he was a bit rough with the animals so we stayed out of petting zoos for a while.) I'm so proud of him!
Lunch included hot dogs, chips, and cotton candy!
I hesitated to go on the trip because lately Noah acts up when I'm around. It's mostly because he's excited that I'm there. And to show his excitement, he pinches his friends and me more than normal. But I had so much fun spending the day with him and I know he was happy to have me with him. The extra pinches are definitely worth it for this smile!
This was the best group photo I could get. They may not be the most cooperative bunch for a picture, but they were exceptionally well-behaved and I was thrilled they let me hang with them for the day.
Finally, I have a video that will make you smile all over. At lunch, they played music and let the kids dance on stage. Noah's aide took him up there and they got their groove on! And it didn't take him long to get a girl!

Hummingbird Invasion
We have guests.
It's the annual fall migration for hummingbirds. They're heading to Mexico for the winter and our backyard is along the way.
This guy thinks the feeder belongs to him. He chases away anybird who looks in his direction. Little meanie!
This is a girl. She's been sharing nicely.
Obviously, Mike is putting crack in the feeders.

Swings & Things
This is a sad, sad picture.
We had a droughtful summer, but the day they* came to build the playground, it rained. All. Day. Long. I'm totally loving the rain, but so sad because the kidlets stared longingly out the window at their new friend. The "new park" was very lonely that day.
The next day, there was rain again. But we got a break in the afternoon and the kidlets acquainted themselves with their new friend!
She's really, really happy.
He is, too. Really.
They played until it was nearly dark. Then they went for a walk by the creek with Daddy. On the way back, they saw a snake.
I'm thinking four feet. Maybe five?
We were all excited to see Mr. Snake! He's a good one...a non-venomous one that eats rodents and the like. The kidlets wanted to touch the snake, but we kept our distance and waved goodnight.
The next day we played most of the afternoon away.
Worth every penny!
*They built it in 3 hours. Would have taken us 3 days. And probably a lot of swearing.

Fencing
This series of photos is probably only interesting to geeks, like me, who need to photograph each step for posterity. Not that my kids ever will care about it, but it's my camera and the kidlets aren't allowed to touch it. Much.
Without further ado, enjoy 56 photos of the over budget fence. :-)
And here is a video of the back and side yards.

Fabulous Fourth!
We started the day with a 6:15 wake-up to participate in the Firecracker Four. It's a four mile fun run and two mile walk. Mike ran, I walked, and the kidlets rode in style!
Yeah, I think it's a little early to be out and about...
Go, Daddy, Go! I came in a few minutes before Mike (remember, I only walked the 2 mile course) so I had enough time to position myself to take this photo finish. Bud, I didn't have quite enough time to shower and get a beer. ;-)
Later in the day, we met with friends at Quintana.
We finished the day with a little tailgating and fireworks! 
I'm not sure Noah could have stretched his neck any further! He LOVED the firework show!
The bunny and Jess did, too!
Finally, the firework finale!
