Whoa! What a weekend!


We have had a busy weekend thus far. Last night we went to some good friends house for dinner and then we went to another Spartan game. The kids love watching all the people, players and band! Lorelei gets tired really fast though and the more tired she becomes the more wiggly she gets! We just pass her around from mama to daddy to grandmama to grandaddy so everyone takes a turn with the wiggly one. Paxton of course just wants to sit with his grandmama and can't stand it when he has take turns with Lorelei. Paxton also enjoys a special treat at the games, which last night was Skittles-a favorite of daddy's as well.

Ok, she is just too cute in her cheerleading outfit and pigtails and she knows it!

Love and kisses! Ok, this doesn't happen too often, mostly when we stage it but yesterday they were really being sweet to each other. Lorelei would lay her head down on Paxton and he would give her kisses. Of course it didn't last long and before I knew it Paxton has wrestled Lorelei to the floor.

This weekend we also went to a festival that I have been going to for all my life. The kids had so much fun, maybe too much fun! It's the kind of festival that has some games, rides, inflatables, pony rides, etc. We started the day off with some games but Paxton wasn't really into them and he was having one of his three year old attitude days. So after some redirection we went to the ride the ponys. Oh my goodness! I never would have thought the kids would have loved it so much! Especially Lorelei!!! She looked so tiny riding that pony but she had a look of sheer joy on her face. My mom says she will be the one in a few years asking if she can have a pony! (Good thing our neighborhood has a rule about that.) Anyway the kids loved the pony's and we rode them twice. After that excitement we went down to the rides and inflatables. Paxton wanted to ride the rides that spin around really fast. I was so nervous about letting my three year old get on that with big kids (no parents on the ride!), I thought for sure he would throw up everywhere. But he loved it and thankfully didn't get sick. Lorelei wasn't big enough for the rides or inflatables so she just let grandaddy chase her around the whole field while Paxton did his thing. We had a lot of fun but boy were we ever exhausted by 2:00! After a late night last night and a crazy day today plus church and then Bible study tomorrow, my kids are in bed and this mama is going soon too!

Is that not the happiest little girl ever?

Paxton's horse was named Donut; perfect a boy who loves horses and donuts!

Lorelei and Daddy. This is the picture of her when she first saw the ponys!

Grandmama's sunglasses are always a big hit!

Break it down girl!! Lorelei was bustin' a move as the music blared!

Here is Paxton on one of the more gentle rides. I couldn't get a picture of the spinning one because he was so short you couldn't even see his head!
