MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY
A nap is NOT going to happen but here are some pictures from the day. We all passed up the Sam's Club cookies when I suggested we have home-made ice cream at home instead. I'm always so pleasantly surprised when Zander passes up a former favorite for a healthy treat without a fuss. He is even starting to accept the answer "that food makes it hard for you to be good" and he told me the other day "oh - it makes me feel sick" so I think he's starting to make connections himself. If we can only keep him from the cookie dough....an overdose of sugar (even honey) would not be good for any of us. LOL
Our older children kept commenting that they didn't remember other communities doing this...and we've been where they have but this was by far the most impressive...though Great Falls, MT came close. We discussed it and noted that the smaller cities seem to put on the bigger celebrations. {G}
Nolan's 2nd time on a pony
Arielle dreams of owning a horse...wish we could make it happen for her...but for now...pony rides are great fun!

Jared on the wall
"I can do ANYTHING the boys can do"
Nolan on the wall
And of course if the BIG boys do it....Zander convinced the lady he was big enough...he was by far the youngest on the wall while we were there

This is hard to explain. A Bungiey cord is hooked to a harness that they wear. They race up to grab a baton and then the cord pulls them back. It was hilarious to watch. Again...Zander had to give it a shot. We have some great shots of him with the helmet 1/2 off and such. He finally got it...but the lady really was rooting for him {wink}.
Jared at the bungie race- look at that determined expression

De'Etta, that looks like such a fun day! Probably even more fun than a nap ;)
Ummm....you shouldn't have told me how fast the next 3 years are going to go! I only have 6 until Allen is through with school. Only SIX more years! *sniff* I probably should think about what I'd like to do when that time comes. Well, I do want to sleep for a year LOLOL.....
Have a blessed Sunday~Kelly
