From the mouth of Babes

Tyler had just left to go to the church for Weblos and left

Addie and I at the kitchen table finishing dinner. As we sat

therefinishing up dinner Addie remembered that

we never said a prayer.She was right we had

totally forgotten so I asked her if she wanted

to say it and of course she didn't...she told me too. So as

I'm praying I was getting a little emotional....it had been

a long day with the kids and I needed some extra help

from above. When I finished Addie looked up at me

and noticed I had tears in my eyes

then proceeded to ask, "are you sad Mommy?"

And I responded, "Yes I am a little sad."

I grabbed my napkin and started

wiping my tears away when Addie

then asked, "Are you wiping your sad away Mommy?"

Then I laughed. Its amazing how fast our

prayers can be answered when

in desperate need!

State Fair

I'm back to blogging but will be sparatic as I can only see half

of my screen on my computer which makes for a longer

blogging process and much patience...something I don't

have a lot of at the end of my days! Anyway, on to better

things....THE IOWA STATE FAIR! Ty won tickets

at a school drawing so I packed up the kids, went

and picked up Ty at the school and away we went to the fair.

Heres a Cute little cow and heres.....

.....The Worlds smallest Cow.
This is a regular cow only like 5 times smaller
than normal. It was only about 2.5 feet off the ground!

Making her way to the splash pad! We saved this
stop for the very end after getting hot walking around.

Last year we ventured out and tried deep fried Twinkies

this year it was Funel Cakes! We wondered what was

so great about those funel cakes...then we had one and oh

boy are they good!

Spending time with Daddy is the best!

Addie loved watching all the rides

but didn't want to try any out!

See the big ferris wheel in the backround...

I really wanted to ride that....

maybe someday.....

For now just a picture in front of it will have to do!

Sewing Project #1 on the list.....The Market Skirt

Addie's Market Skirt

This is the Market Skirt made by

Dana from her MADE blog. I seriously devour

this blog. She is amazing and loves to share

her ideas and then makes tutorials for

all the fun things she makes. So with a

serger now this was the first project on the list.

This was one of her final products.

And here is my attempt...Not exactly pro but it fits

and Addie likes her new skirt.

2nd Annual Adel Corn Festival

1 Year ago....

And going back for round 2 of the Adel, Iowa Corn Festival

So sweet and so delicious!!

I actually got a picture of Trey NOT smiling...

He was not to fond of getting wet during the

firehose competition...actually he hated it!

And the Elders were out and about sharing the

gospel and enjoying some corn too!

2nd Annual Firestation Adventure

Another great time at the Waukee Firestation

This was Addie last year at the Firestation

......she was so little and had no hair!

Addie is always excited to see fire trucks.

She even got to get up inside and sit in the firetruck.

Heres to 4 Years!

My best Friend

The Man who works hard to achieve his goals!

So many fun Ballons to see! Addie has asked me

everyday since we went to go see the ballons again

to bad she will have to wait until next year.

Lovin life to it's fullest!

Daddy and Addie watching the ballons launch.

And a Fireworks show to top off the night!

very exciting in her little world!

Waiting for the show to begin!

(Trey fell asleep right before they started)

I wanted to spend one of Ty's last "stress free" saturdays doing

something or going somewhere fun with our little family as
