Kern County Fair Part 2

The very next day I kept Lacie home from school because I was chaperoning my lil sis' field trip (with our old preschool) to the fair for School Days. It was REALLY hot but alot of fun too :)

How cute are they in their matching fair tees from Auntie's/Sissy's work?!

My cowgirls :)

In a pig pen with 2 big ole piggies!

How now Brown Cow!

Can you see the baby piggies in there?

There were so many fun experimental things for the kids to do (for free too!) Like these huge bubbles!

Lovin' the pink tractor sis!
"Milking" a cow!
Cleaning up the pens!
My Lil Drummer Boy!
He coulda sat there ALL day watching those balls go around and around!

Isabelle's Dance Recital

My sister Isabelle will be 5 in a couple weeks, she is 6 weeks older than my son. Didn't know if you knew that ;)

I ended up being the Super Big Sister on Wednesday because my father had to go in for kidney stone surgery and so they were unable to get her ready or make it the performance :( Isabelle doesn't know that though!

So I did her hair, her makeup, got he dressed, and took all the requisite pictures. Isn't she cute?

We Were Swingin'

My parents have a tree swing in their backyard that the kids love to play on. When we were over there last weekend I took this oppurtunity for an impromptu photo shoot. I LOVE how these turned out! I have the cutest kids!

Bellie Belle was not as enthusiastic about the swing photo ops! In her defense - she hadn't had a nap!

GO HUSKERS!!!!

This is a picture that we had taken of the kids as a surprise for Poppie's birthday. :)

Christmas Dance Recitals

The dance studio that my daughter and sister go to puts on a really cute Christmas mini recital every year followed by cookies & punch and a visit with Santa. I can't remember the song that Belle's class danced too but Lacie's - being a hip hop class and all - danced to Cheetalicious Christmas! They both did a marvelous job! For some reason though Lacie was a bit nervous about being on stage and in front of everyone. Usually this is not a problem for her. Hopefully it was just a moment that will pass! :/

Bellie - "Snow Princess"

This is as close to Santa as we could get with a smile! When Mammie asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him he said "toys" then she asked what kind and he said "It's a surprise!"
So cute!!! She asked him for a dollhouse (and a pink skateboard apparently! I didnt hear that part :( )
