{kansas state fair} 2012

 baby's first flip flops! ^

 and Pronto Pup!

 aside from seeing the smiles and laughs on Ava's face, the next best thing was watching James eat a funnel cake and get powdered sugar ALL OVER Aiden and his stroller.

 once it got dark.. around 8:15, the fair was desolate.  (perks of going on a Tuesday!) so Ava rode most of the rides all by herself.

we measured ava then hiked up that bun to get to 42" :)

what an exhausting experience!!!  the kids were sooo tired.  ava was completely delirious as we were walking out, but somehow talked us into an ice cream cone. 

it was nice to go to the fair again, especially with little kids.  note to future self -- GO ON TUESDAY!!  no lines, bracelet night, can't go wrong :)  and don't get a quesadilla again.  boo.

--my iMac's back--

..and I've taken 602 pictures since it crashed!  WHAT!!!  I'm going to start my back-blogging with a few pics I snapped one gorgeous September day while we were out front waiting for James to come home for lunch.  Check back soon for all of our September happenings :):)

My iMac crashed :********(

I am so upset!  This is why people shell out the big bucks for Mac's, so they don't have this problem!  So until I can get it to KC - I won't be posting :(. I know, I know.  Stinks.

funny kids :)

good morning

 We've been doing a movie night once a week and watching a family friendly film, usually with snacks (& PJ's!).  Last week, we watched Wall-E and this week, it was Up!

 As you can see, Ava was terrified of this movie.  There's a scene with angry barking dogs and she was NOT happy.  Aiden liked it. :)

 And on Tuesday, Aiden stayed at nana's house while mommy and Ava went to Wichita for a "girls day" before the start of preschool.  We went fall clothes shopping, got school supplies, ate lunch.. and nana even gave money to buy a new train (from Thomas & Friends).  She was SO excited to finally find Kevin, who works in the Steamworks and says her favorite line that we hear all the time "sorry boss, didn't mean to boss, slip of the hook!"
