Tal filled Beau's pant pockets up with corn and his pants fell off. so mean!

Megan McMinn came over to to play with Mary Bratton today. They were so funny. little girls that think they are big girls! No more cartoons - they are wanting watch big girl shows. Here they are dancing to Hannah Montana.

Had to capture this moment. My little princess fell asleep on the couch with her crown on. She is getting so big - so fast. She becoming such a sweet little girl - but I'm missing my baby girl!! I tell her all of the time to STOP GROWING! She will tell us sometimes that her leg or arm is sore and we would tell her that it is probably growing pains. She NOW goes and tells Tal b/c she knows I will get sad b/c she is growing! She will tells me Mom - I promise that I'm not growing" so it won't make me sad.





















This was a picture of MB's lip when she woke up Friday morning.
It is looking better and better everyday!

How to get FREE ice cream at the fair!

Bust your lip open next to the Bop's trailer ( that has the nicest owner EVER)

Mary Bratton was leaning out over our stroller and the stroller fell over and her face hit the ground. Busted her lip open, the paramedics at the fair came and bandaged up her elbow and cleaning up her lip. All of the people around us were so nice bringing us ice to put on her lip and this guy from Bop's in Richland stepped in and brought her favorite ice cream - vanilla with sprinkles!! He is actually a Baptist pastor and does mission work in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. He gave me his website - it is www.lookathmm.com
If you are ever passing through Richland or if you go to the fair - stop in and see this sweet man at Bop's! Tell him Mary Bratton sent you!! He is super sweet!

This was Beau's first fair ride. We got there early so there were no lines and hardly anyone on the rides. The guy was trying to be nice and let us ride longer but I was so ready to get off of this ride after squeezing myself into this kiddie ride going around and around and up and down for 5 minutes. I started making eyes to Tal to make the guy let us down.


























She loved this!




















Tal doesn't ride the rides but we all got to go on the ferris wheel together!!

Beau says 'cheeeeese' now everytime I get out the camera!!
Here is Mary Bratton holding ice on her busted lip.





















This guy is like the State Fair version of the crocodile hunter.

He was all about making Mary Bratton touch these things. We ended up paying and going in b/c he was so nice and insisted that we see the other animals in there.




















Practically made her touch this snake. He was trying to get Tal to put it around his neck.

Beau LOVED the petting zoo!




















Mary Bratton flying!





















Our eyeballs look like they are on our forehead (click picture to see) and that is really how I felt while we were sitting on our potato sac catching air on this humongo slide.

Mary Bratton on the pony ride.




















Here is Beau pulling a fast one trying to get into the pony ride. This is a pretty typical Beau Beau.






















My boys - Tal and his little me.






















Beau saw this little boy in this cool little car and wanted to push him around.
The little boy went from a smooth ride with his mommy pushing him to Beau pushing him doing wheelies in the air. Beau had a fit when we made him leave this car.
