We had a fun field trip with Zach's Joy school friends! We went to Mother Nature's Farm in Gilbert. We went on a hay ride, saw some cool animals, had a picnic, picked a pumpkin out of the patch, decorated it, played in a bouncy castle, and went through a hay bale maze! Good times with good friends! To make it extra special it was COLD that day. It actually felt like autumn in the pumpkin patch!
A few weeks ago Fry's grocery store sponsored a free weekend at Arizona Science Center. Zane and I escaped our crazy lives for just a few hours. It was soooo busy...but we still managed to have a good time! Can you believe Olivia riding the bike on the tightrope two stories above ground? She is pretty brave, although once she looked down she decided to cut the thrill short and not ride across the whole way! Glad she changed her mind close to the beginning where she could get back fast!
Olivia had a great performance with the Phoenix Girl's Choir a few weeks ago. The concert was at the Mesa Art's Center which was a absolutely beautiful place. Olivia's choir sang several great songs...one of which was about a firefly. A few girls got to hold a flashlight and flash then on and off at various times during the song. I have to say, Olivia's flash light clicking skills where superb, and by far exceeded the clicking skills of the other girls in the choir. ;) She really truly has a knack for pushing buttons! (Usually it is my buttons she is pushing! LOL) Good Job Sis, you have a beautiful voice! Thanks for going with us, Nana and Poppy!
On the Ferris wheel!
Nice Happy face Zach! Remember...we are having fun!
Zach Hang Glidin'
Just as good as the Dumbo ride at Disneyland...minus the magic feather! (And plus the trashy environment!)
Can you see a Jake's blue cotton candy beard!
We had fun at the fair last night. There was plenty of good people watching...a favorite past time of mine. I saw a drag queen in a tutu and feather boa. I was so relieved I didn't wear the same thing, that would have been awkward. We had some yummy fair food...don't tell Jenny I caved! I got to see what Zach and Jake are like on crack...um I mean cotton candy. They were CrAzY all sugared up! Crazier than usual if you can imagine! 
Whenever we jump into the car lately Zach feels the need to wear a helmet! He is serious about safety as far as the helmet is concerned, however seat belts to him are optional. Is my driving so bad it necessitates a helmet? Really? 
If you happen to be at Michael's...then pick me up some of these cuties. I borrowed them to decorate for a baby shower. Now they must be returned and I am sad I don't own any. They are on clearance there (75% off)...and cleaned out of them on my side of town!
So whenever I have a camera in my hand, Jake makes this silly crooked smile. It is funny, it reminds me so much of a crooked smile from a little princess named Bella....anyone agree?
