Last night was a GNO at the fair! On the schedule - a Mark Chestnutt/Carlene Carter concert, cruising booths, eating fair food and pretty much having a great time! Here are the final tallies for the evening:

Egg Rolls on a Stick: 2

Wife Beater Shirts: 284

Women who REALLY should be wearing bras: 912

Creepy man who asked me to sit on his lap: 1

Nightmares due to creepy man asking me to sit on his lap: 4 and counting

Looking forward to doing it all again next year! (Minus the creepy man thing!)

NO FAIR!!!!

Alright - it really was fair! Shasta County Fair - that is! It was an evening to remember! A concert, cotton candy, a giant slide, roller coasters, animals and 1 very uncertain pony rider! See for yourself!

What a fun night!

A Thousand Words?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These ones might be worth a little more!

Enough said.

Bird flu!!!

Ok - not really Bird Flu. Definitely bird FLEW though! Tanner (our resident future physician)rescued this injured dove from our backyard. His wing was definitely broken making future flying impossible. After a thorough examination by the 6 year old, it was decided that a trip to the Shasta County Wild Life Preserve was in order.

We loaded up the bird and made the trek to get the needed care for our feathered friend. While the future looks bleak (not beak!) for the bird - my kids and I left there knowing we did all that we could to help this little one. A valuable lesson was learned about caring for ALL of God's creatures - great and small.

***Now, does the fact that my boys were sitting in the backseat (with the injured bird sitting between them) pretending to shoot birds flying by mean that they missed the lesson???***

Lexi-saurus!!!

Queen of the Wild Frontier

When she isn't busy tearing off limbs, eating furniture and chasing deer - she is one very sweet girl!

Happy Mother's Day to Me (and to you too!)!!!

Where does your joy come from??? Here are 3 1/2 places I get my joy!

What a blessing each of my kiddipoos is! On this Mother's Day, I am one very thankful mama!

See You Again Soon My Little Nani!

This past weekend we bid a fond farewell to my sweet little Nani. After 84 years here, Jesus came to take her home.

What a truly amazing woman! I am so blessed that she was a part of my life. She is going to be missed so very much. I look forward to seeing her again when Jesus comes to take me home too! Until that day, I love you Nani!
