The FAIR!!!

I love the Fair! We got delicious BBQ, watched the BMX riders, went to the petting zoo, and Noelle got to go on a ride ALL BY HERSELF!

Favorite Pictures!

Here are some recent pictures of the Family!!

Circus!

We went to the circus! It was so much fun! We had to leave Chloe at Nana's house since it was way past her bedtime, but Noelle told her all about it. Noelle was so excited, she saw, "a man on a swing (trapeez), tigers(real ones), penguins(not real ones), and a trampoleen (the net used to catch the Crazy circus performers!) We had front row tickets (thanks Rachel!), and it was unbelievable!!! Abe and I had as much fun as Noelle did (maybe even a little bit more!)

I need wings!

Today the girls and I were driving to see Aunty Heehe in Irvine and we passed a big truck on the freeway. Noelle looked over at the man driving the truck and said "mommy is that Jesus?" I said "No he just looks like Jesus because he has a beard." She replied "He is not Jesus, He needs Jesus, he doesn't know Jesus. I need to see Jesus, but first I need wings. I need wings on my feet and on my back, then I can go see Jesus! I love Jesus, he is my friend! "

Happy 4th of JULY!!!

We had a miserable/so fun week! The miserable part was Laughlin, Nevada! It is a terrible place, sad but true! The girls and I went out there with Abe because he had some work to do. We had a beautiful hotel suite(that wasn't the miserable part) The problem was that it was 120 DEGREES outside, I have never been so hot in my life. There was a pool that we went to twice a day but it was awful! It was 100 DEGREES and when you stepped in the water you litterally could not feel where the water began, no chill at all! We stayed in the

hotel room until 4pm on the last day-I just couldn't take it! But at least we were all together and we got to see Abe for dinner everynight!

Now for the fun part- We went to the River house for the fourth of July! It was so fun!! We wakeboarded and swam in the river and had a lot of fun with our family! There were a lot of people there and when she would wake up from her nap and everyone was on the boat she would say "mommy where did all my friends go!" We always have fun and it is good to spend the time with the family! We saw fireworks in Blyth at the Fairgrounds, it was a great show and it was all set to music. Then we came home went to the beach and had a birthday bbq for my mom! The week started out bad, but ended so well. All is good!
