All Done at the Fair

Tyler and Grandma Nancy are walking to the gate at the end of the day... It was a very fun day and the boys were amazing. Our boys were such wonderful little guys and were such troopers all day.... The kids were in the stroller for part of the day and the other part they walked around. They loved exploring and trying to grab at things on the ground.. These little guys sure keep use on our toes at all times... These back pack leashes sure work great, and before out trip daddy put a piece of paper into each of your back packs in case you would get lost...It has our contacnt info and a very precious little note!!!!!
Tyler's note has our contact info and then says "I can't talk much but I am loved, please find my Mommy and Daddy"..... And Trevors not has the same contact info and then reads "I like to explore and I guess I lost my dad this time. If you could call him I would like that. His name is daddy, but he goes by Paul... These were to cute!!!!!

Tyler had so much fun walking as we headed towards the gate, and even held onto grandma nancy's had like a big boy... Trevor walked for a little while, but ended up getting a ride up on daddy's shoulders... It was a great day and Mommy and Daddy were so proud of our little boys!!!!

The kids had fun posing as the Simpson’s… I wasn’t sure if they would be tall enough for their heads to fit into the faces, but they were.. It was very cute… In the education building they were taking kids fingerprints and also pictures so that if a child is ever lost you have all the info you would need. This was a very neat idea.. We had both kids done and with this they also did the kids heights and weights.. Our little Tyler is know 25 pounds!! And Trevor is 23 Pounds.. No wonder my arms at sore at the end of each day.. That is a lot of weight to be lugging around all day!!!!

Tyler our little bucket head and first taste of cotton candy

The boys love French fries.. We ordered a large bucket of fried and polished off the whole thing!!! They were delicious… After we finished the fries, Tyler wanted to carry the bucket, so daddy put it on his head like a hat.. We called him our little bucket head for the rest of the day… It was so precious and Tyler was so excited about his new hat!!!!!
The kids also had their very first taste of cotton candy… Grandma Nancy asked the cotton candy man if he would make the kids 2 small sticks for the kids.. He did, which was so fun for the kids.. Tyler wasn’t to sure of it at first, but all it took was one lick for him to realize that this stuff is good… Trevor was content sitting in daddy’s lap chewing on his… The place were we stopped to do this also had some neat Indian dancing.. The boys both loved the sounds the costumes were making. It was very neat to see…

Birthing Center and Trevor's 1st pair of sun glasses

The boys had a lot of fun in the birthing center with all those baby animals. Trevor headed over to the baby chickens, which he just loved. He stuck his finger into the cage and the little chicks came right over to him. He just kept his finger in the cage and let the little chick peck at his finger.. It was so precious!! He was so excited and would giggle as the chick pecked at him… It was so so so neat!!! They boys also saw some adorable baby pigs… Tyler pet one of the little pigs, which he thought was very neat… but we thought we should keep Trevor’s little hands away from the pigs since he loves to pat things on the head.. The boys also saw a baby cow, which had the softest nose ever… and there was also a cute baby colt, that was so cute… The kids also saw a baby lamp that had just been born.. It was a very neat experience for the kids.. It will be so fun taking the boys to the fair next year, since they will be able to do even more things…..

In one of the builings, there handin gout sun glasses. Trevor though this was so neat.. He tried them on for a few seconds, and then tried to put them up on his head like his daddy does.... It was very cute.. Tyler was taking his first nap at this point, so he missed out on trying on his first pair of sun glasses, but we picked him out a green pair, that is also very cute......

STATE FAIR TRIP

The kids had a blast at the state fair this year!!! Just 16 months old and already hooked on those delicious cheese curds… What a great way to start out the fair!!! Tyler and Trevor’s expressions were priceless when daddy handed them each their first cheese curd.. It was almost like you could hear them say yummy just through the expressions they made. After their first snack of the day, we took the kids through a few of the fun buildings, where the kids were able to walk around a little.. Those back pack leashes sure worked out great for keeping track of the kids.. There were so many neat statue carving at the fair.. I had the kids sit in front of one that I thought was the most beautiful. It was a mother bear with her baby cub, and the words “new life” were carved into the base of the statue.. It was very precious.. It was very tricky capturing this picture, since there was way to much for the kids to see, that they didn’t want to sit still very long…

Mommy had some fun early in the day also... We were over at the Marines booth and daddy thought it would be fun for me to do the women's bar hanging.. Which was hanging for 70 seconds and you get a t-shirt.. I wasn't to sure about this, since that seems like a long time to have your chin above the bar... But I finally gave in and decided to give it a whirl... It was so so so hard hanging up there, but I DID IT!!!! I held on for about 73 seconds!!! I was so proud and was so glad that I did this!!!! It was neat having your daddy cheering me on and it was very cool getting that t-shirt!!!!!!!

Boy’s Adventure Stories:

This morning, Trevor Monkey decided he would attempt climbing the baby gate into our bedroom and actually made it over…. Well, he did a head dive over the gate, but he did make it into our bedroom… He was so proud of himself that he laid on the floor and started clapping…

And just last week I ran downstairs quick and came back up to find Trevor giggling and clapping as he sat on the kitchen table!!!!! He first climbed onto the kitchen chair and then onto the table.. In this short amount of time, he also experimented with the salt and peppershakers. He found that if you shake them you could make a HUGE mess…. And he also found that an open box of cereal makes an even bigger mess when you tip it over!!!!!!!! Tyler is also becoming a little monkey…


I went downstairs last night to put in a load of laundry, which I seem to do almost every day!!!! And when I came back up, Tyler was giggling as he rocked in my rocking chair… Yes, the boys are able to get up on almost anything…. Tyler learned the other night that if you hang to far over on the edge of the couch you will end up doing a head dive, which is exactly what happened…I saw the whole thing happen in slow motion, which almost gave me a heart attack!!!! Luckily he didn’t get hurt, just VERY scared…

Trevor and Tyler's first Ice Cream Cone

Yesterday at Cub I found some fun ice cream cones that come in different colors and flavors. I dished up the cones and took the kids outside, since I knew this could get messy... It was SO SO SO adorable... Trevor took a few bites out of the end of the cone and then walked right over to their picnic table and took a seat... Tyler also started with the back of the cone and ended up tipping all of his ice cream onto the deck... Not to worry, Bagels was right next to him eager to clean up the mess..... After the boys finished, it was time for baths... Everyone was VERY sticky!!!!


Tyler got his first knee scrape a few weeks back and just as his wound healed, his brother got a scrape on his check…I am actually a little surprised that Trevor hasn’t had more scrapes with all the adventures he goes on every day… Seems like he is hanging from something or climbing up something ever day!!!!!!! The kids squeezed behind their beds and our little monkey Trevor decided it would be fun to climb up the backside of his crib… Well, that didn’t seem to work out as he had planned… He someone slipped and landed scraping his whole check… Our poor little guy is know all black and blue on the one side of his face… He was so upset after it happened… He seemed more upset about not being able to make it up the crib than from the pain.
