What's been keeping us busy.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  Things have been a little crazy.  Here is what has been consuming our time! 

We recently purchased a camper!  I am THRILLED!!!  It is 8 years old, but in good shape.  It just needed a good, thorough cleaning, and a little TLC. 

Marleigh screamed when she first saw it, she was so excited.  She yelled, "I got a camper!!!  Let's go to the lake.  Wait... now we need a boat!"  Hold on, there, sister.  One thing at a time.  

We are planning on taking it this weekend back to Marc's home town for his brother's memorial softball tournament. Can't wait for our first trip in our camper!  And so excited to see all our family!    

State Fair!

Sunday morning, we got up and headed to the State Fair.  Once again, animals and farm equipment ruled the day!  Here's a few pics!



Marleigh just HAD to see a zebra! 



It appears riding a camel is a new fair tradition.  Only this year, Mom got into the action, too!

Loving the camel ride!

Bubba, next year you can ride the camel, too! 



Loved our JD visor!



Happy! 

Marleigh won this big, blue, dolphin.  She ADORES it! 

Cotton Candy!!!

Getting ready to go down the BIG slide.

I was so proud of her for going down!  She squealed the whole way, but loved it.

Kade was in heaven walking around all the farm stuff!



By 1:30, they were both tired so we headed home.  We had such a great time.  It just might be my favorite thing to do with the kids (after the lake, of course!).  :)

Marleigh's First Football Game!

When we heard that the KSU game against Miami was an 11:00 kickoff, we decided it would be the perfect game to take Marleigh to.  We dropped Kade off with Gigi, repainted Marleigh's fingernails purple to match her cheerleading outfit (she insisted), and headed to Manhattan Friday evening.  We stayed at Aunt Myra's.  Aunt Rina and Uncle Dave came over to hang out as well. 

Daddy got up really early Saturday morning to get to the parking lot.  We joined him around 8:00.  Marleigh was such a good little tailgater.  She ate her breakfast, danced, read books, and was just generally awesome! 

Initially, I think she was a little overstimulated with everything going on inside the stadium.  After the first touchdown she said, "Why is everyone going  so crazy?  Daddy is very happy right now!"  She watched part of the first half, then read books.  I think it wasn't as exciting to her as the constant action of the basketball game we took her to last winter.  Our seats are on the west side, on the 40 yard line, 7 rows up.  The sun was beating down on us, and we weren't getting any breeze.  At all.  It was HOT.  Marleigh never complained once.  At hafltime, I decided to take her back out to the parking lot and sit under Daddy's work tent.   I didn't want her to get too hot.  She was very well behaved, but I think we'll probably wait a year or two before taking her back again. 

So excited to go to the game! 

Tailgating with Aunt Rina!

My cousin Jake's little boy, Jack, and Marleigh.

At the game with Auntie Myra!

Kade's Cankles

Remember when I was pregnant with my sweet, little boy I posted about my cankles?

Well, thank goodness that after having Kade they have returned to normal.  Only now, someone else in our house is sporting some cankles! 

Poor little guy has such chubby feet it is difficult to find shoes that fit.   It's okay, Bubba.  Mama loves you just the way you are!  

 But, I will say, since he has started walking running everywhere, he is really slimming down.  He is always on the go!
