Our Revel Date

We met Sara at the Revel and played for a few hours. I had to leave early to go to class and Mike did not want to keep the camera, so these are the only pictures we have.

Our Little Equestrian

Mike took Evan to ride horses this afternoon. I love the first picture - too cute! She had a great time breaking in her boots and stepping in .. uh.. well.. just guess. Evan loves to care for horses almost as much as she loves to ride them.

Princess Pumpkin

We love Halloween at our house! Last year we started a tradition that Mike carves a craft pumpkin each year so all that hard work doesn't have to be thrown away each year. This year he carved me a qitch pumkin for my Witch Party. Evan loved putting together her Princess Pumpkin.

My Sweet Cowgirl

Evan has been asking for sharp pink cowgirl boots for a long time. Since Rodeo Day is coming up at her school, we decided to get her all decked out. She can't wait to wear all her new clothes!

The Awesome Opossum

Evan's Kindergarten teacher rewards the children who are quiet during naptime with the Awesome Oppossum. Evan waited patiently for a long time. Finally, one Monday she could not wait to tell me that she got to bring it home! The next day you get to take a nap with the baby and mommy opossum. As luck would have it, the day she brought it home, she got sick. So, she got to keep it a little longer than usual.

Dragonboat Festival

A few weeks ago Evan & I went to the Dragonboat Races. This is a Chinese tradition that is slowly catching on in the US. In our area, various companies and organizations formed teams to race. I think this would be so much fun to race as a family! We had a great time watching the races, listening to the live music and playing around in Riverview Park.

Cute Puppies

Aren't these puppies sweet? They are a mix of Pappillon and something else. When Keri, Tara (Jamie's niece), and I were supposed to be getting Madison's birthday cake, we were playing with these puppies. Each os us was trying to get the other to buy one. I was so tempted!
