Bowling & Putt Putt Golfing










To celebrate dry bedtime undies for 2 weeks, we had to CELEBRATE! 
During our Texas visit, I picked up an idea from my friend, Jennifer, who keeps a sticker chart for her girls for keeping dry undies.  So, I took a mental note and decided to try it when we got home.  Worked like a CHARM.  They could keep their pull-ups dry, but not consistently, so I finally decided, I'm not buying any more pull-ups and it just happened that they both ran out on the same night, so it made my decision on when to start that much easier.  We cut drinks off at 9:00 and no more baths after 8:30 either.  Had to learn that one the hard way as they LoVe drinking bath water... ick.  Jillian picked bowling as her special reward and Brock picked putt putt golf.  They had so much fun! Now they want to go to Chuck E. Cheese as their next reward, so we've made a deal that they need to keep dry undies for 4 weeks and they're doing GREAT.  And here is what happens when you aren't paying attention while Brock is putting... You get whacked super hard with a golf club.  OUCH!

County Fair Time










We LOVE the fair!  
What is not to love about pronto pups, french fries, and lemon shake-ups?
And you can't pass up Pre-School day at the fair where rides are super cheap!
It was so stinkin' hot this day, but you would never know it with how these kids were going from ride to ride. They had an absolute blast!

Demolition Derby Time






 One feature in the demolition derby was designated to trucks.  This truck, going in reverse, rammed into another truck and completely flipped over on his side!  It was awesome.  The guy was ok, got out, then all these other guys came out and helped flip the truck back over!  He was able to get it back going and ended up getting 2nd place!  So cool.

What can I say, we're Demolition Derby junkies.
We look forward to the fair and demo derby every summer!
I don't know what it is about them, but it just so fun to watch a bunch of cars and trucks hit each other.  Plus, it's time hanging out with my family and creating new memories for Brock and Jillian.  I don't think I even need to tell you that Brock LOVED it!  Jillian on the other hand LOVED the cotton candy.
