Did Someone Say Soccer?
Landen is extremely into ALL sports...you name it, he loves it. My sister heard about a soccer clinic starting this Fall, she checked into it before telling Landen about it, and it was a go. Naturally to play soccer you have to have the right gear. My sister went to a great second hand sports store in Lynden and got him all set up! Such a smart idea...!
The real trick was getting him to take this stuff off!!!!!!
It's That Time of Year...
I am not sure how I managed, but I talked my teaching partner into reorganizing all of our classroom books. There were TONS of books in our room, she is so good at figuring out categories for books...so she piled them up and I came up with a system for organizing...it was a HUGE job...
...during the sorting crazy...
After the sorting and classroom rearranging...
I wonder how long these books will stay organized??? There was some definite teaching around where we put books back in our classroom!
Not bad for a days work....One of the best parts of teaching....ORGANIZING!!! I'm an addict!
Fair Day 2
That's right... I am back on the blogging ban wagon! AND I am back posting! I have so many pictures that I meant to blog, I have to put them up! WAY back in August, we went to the fair with my sister and her two sweet kiddos. This was our adventure!
Sweet Kyla Joelle! We weren't sure how long she would last at the fair, it was so very hot! Our plan was to see how she would do and when she had enough Mommy would take her home, and Uncle Ben and I would finish off the night with Landen at the fair...turns out...she did AWESOME and we all stayed til dark!
Landen and I had corn dogs for dinner...and not just any corn dog..."World's Best Corn Dogs!" I don't know if they were the best...but they were huge!
Look at this sucker...no tricky camera angles...it was that big!!!
And what fair would be complete without games!!! There were only 3 play til ya win games...and those are the kind this Auntie likes!
Oh, and of course the amazing prizes...I think he walked away with two of these fabulous blow up balls...because choices were a touch limited!
Playing the same game...AGAIN....
Yep...there's the second one!!! .
Meanwhile, Uncle Ben and Ky Ky were drinking some strawberry lemonade...
None of us thought Landen would go on rides...he has enter a stage in his life where he is extremely cautious! To our surprise he went on rides and he went on them ALONE! We were all so surprised and proud of him for being so brave!
Down the big slide!!!
And onto the poofy landing mat!
Hydrating...very important!
After this "ride" we (the grown ups) decided we liked the rides we could see him in at all times...this one made all of us a little nervous...
We ran into Maddie (a fellow football coach's daughter) and she let Landen feed her goat peanuts!
We learned Kyla doesn't just like...she LOVES cotton candy!
She kept a close eye on this bag all night...
Landen on the other hand LOVES bubble gum ice cream from the Dairy Women's booth!
There was some serious blue stain on that cute little face...kids like the weirdest things! (although I hear this is also his Daddy's favorite ice cream too!)
On our walk back to the car Uncle Ben said "My dogs are barkin" and Landen said "What are you talking about? What dogs?" Once we explained what that meant he informed Uncle Ben that his dogs were barkin too...so he got a ride all the way back!
I had totally forgotten about my funnel cake...so I had to grab it on the way out...but I ate it as soon as I got home...so here is my last yummy fair treat of the year!
We had a great time at the fair with the people we love...can't wait until next year!!!!

Sweet Boys...
Landen was at mom's yesterday and always wants "Ace to come over!" These two cuties are best buddies! Landen LOVES to have cuddles from Acey Bear! Here they are catching some sun rays on the loungers...does it get any cuter?
Here is Landen's latest goofy pose...who knows what he's doing? Pretending to sleep??
Fair Day 1
No secrets...I LOVE THE FAIR! The Number one reason? I LOVE FAIR FOOD! You might notice the title of this post is "Fair Day 1"...it's because I can't eat all my favorite fair food in one day...it's just not healthy people, I have to go at least twice. So this year I tried to remember to take a picture of everything I ate...you will see I forgot most of the time...and had to stop eating to take a picture! Always in such a hurry to enjoy this greasy goodness!
My absolute favorite...Lynden PTA deluxe cheeseburger with everything on it! I love the fried onions and "secret" sauce...Ben says it's nothing but Thousand Island dressing...but its delicious! Ate this at about 5:30...YUMMY!
Slip-and-Slide!
It is finally summer! I had a lazy day and went to Katie's for coffee and some delightful banana bars. Landen absolutely loves being outside...whether it's hot or cold...but on this day it was hot hot hot! Needless to say it was a great day for the slip-and-slide. Little did we know Kyla would love it just as much (if not more) than Landen!
With an occasional stop to play in the spraying water! To say she is a water baby is an understatement! She has zero fear...which makes us all a little fearful...she is not quite as cautious as her big brother. We have to keep our eyes on this little lady!
