Kentucky State Fair

This past Saturday we took our annual trip to the fair grounds. This was our 3rd year and it was lots of fun. I just got a great side by side double stroller so it was easy to haul both girls and all our stuff all over the fair grounds. We saw lots of farm animals that Lilith loved. We got to see the Looney Toons, show/trick pigs, high flying frisbee catching dogs, tight rope walking tigers, Travis Tritt and much much more. We only had one melt down in the day when the girls were tired and so sweaty from sitting outside waiting for the pig show to start. We were there for a total of 7 hours. whew! We were all exhausted by the time we left and all slept well that night. You all should join us next year. We'd love to have you.

To add to Jackson's comment you can add comments as yourself if you type in your own google name and password. But the way this page is set up I don't think we could post as ourselves unless Katie changed some of the settings.

Glenn Duffy here we come

Hello ya'll!! Depending on if you are talking to a native Arkansasan, you may hear this phrase. In the area we live, there a lot of locals. There is either the ones who have moved hear in the past 5 years because of Wal-mart, or they have been born and raised in the same community, give or take a few miles. It is fun to be part of a small town community where everyone knows everyone and family is real important. We have a lot of country kids. I am excited to get to know more and more families in the area. Jackson and I want to be a part of the community and the school. Well you are probably wondering what is "Glenn Duffy" - it is the name of the school Sally and Rex will be attending on Monday. This past Thursday, we went to the school to meet their teachers' and drop off school supplies. Rex's teacher is a young and cute gal - Miss Steele. He gets kind of bashful and giggly when you ask him if he likes his teacher. It is real cute. Sally's teacher is Miss Bontke. She is older but seems on top of things. She guessed Sally's name and made her feel right at home. Miss Bontke wants to have parents help in the class room - so I hope to be a part of Rex and Sally's lives while at school. There is a big room for parent volunteers and has an area with toys, TV, couch for the kids. I feel like I will have more flexibility in my schedule to go to the school and help and interact with the older kids, since I will only have 2 kids at home. I wanted to remind all of you to make comments on any of our posts by clicking on the comment link at the bottom of each post. And then check the comments each time you log on so you can see what others have posted about each of our individual posts. Does that make any sense?Well Kassi just woke up so I am going to stop for now. Hey I really like this blogging thing. Now we all just need to be regular on posting so things from our lives.Oh, Jackson and Rex are digging holes for our clothes line. Great thing about living in the country is that you can hang out your underwear and no one can complain. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA !!

Hi Family,

Okay so sorry for all the pictures but i finally found my cord that hooks from my computer to camra so i was finally able to upload all are pics! So this was are fun and exciting trip to california! The first 3 pictures are in disneyland! It was so much fun that day we got to ride all the rides cuz it rained out and everyone cleared the park! We didnt have to stop and wait in any lines at all! So we took a picture on every ride we went on cuz it was not busy! The only line we stood and waited for was the finding nemo ride and it was a 30min wait.(and since matt is always hungry he had to buy pizza while we stood in line) It was nice in the moarning and in the evening so the only time we got rained on was mid day. The next pics are in sea world obviously. We had so much fun in sea world and decided that was the place to take are kids. It was so interactive and we fed the sea otters, sting ray, played with the dolphins, and ate with shamu! We hit every animal attraction that they had! It was nice we went on a monday and nobody was thear! We walked all around the park and only saw a small handful of people so it was like we had a privet tour of the park! We went and saw all the shows they wear so cool! The shamu show seemed so fake it was like a dream. Matts favorite part was the sharks he loved it and thought it was cool to stand under them as we walked. We had such a fun time and it was the perfeact time to go! The best part was getting all are stuff out of storage! It was like christmas i forgot how much stuff i had! Well that was are fun vacation in a nut shell!

Love,

matt and melissa

Mike's Fam

We are off to a great summer!! Brendan is done with track and just hanging out until he gets to go to Washington DC with the 8th grade in July. We are running Brice around to his baseball games - he is playing catcher, 2nd base, and center field - where ever he is needed. Bowen is just being a very cute 2 year old. He is spoiling or terrorizing our 3 cats (depends on which side of the 'hey cat, see me' you are on) The boys have named them Oreo, Snickers, and Licorice. They go nicely with our dog Milk Dud. I included a picture of Mike playing donkey basketball back a couple of monthes ago just so you all could get a good laugh out of it!
