Fair 2012

 

Last week was fair week.  It's something that I always did as a kid and even though out college.  Trey and I would go there at least one day just to eat!  Haha!  We went to the fair with my parents on Sunday but Trey had to work that day so he was sleeping.  Frankie had so much fun I knew I wanted to take him back when Trey could go.  Also I forgot to bring my camera so I didn't have any pictures (well we got a few on our phones). We went on Friday afternoon because it was $10 arm band day and since I have been on maternity leave a friend of mine and her son (same age as Frankie) have been hanging out every Friday, so it worked out perfect!  First off sorry for picture overload and secondly all loaded out of order but enjoy!

 Papa Dave treated the boys to a game.  They got to pick 3 ducks for $5 and then pick a prize. Haha!

 

 This was our very last ride, Frankie screamed the whole time. He needed a snack & a nap ASAP.

 

 It wouldn't be a trip to the fair without giving the monkey a quarter.

 

 This was us walking in.

 

 Checking out the turtles.

 This is what Frankie thought of the roosters and rabbits.  SCARED!!!

 

 He is reaching for me, haha!  He did warm up to them a little bit but would yell "don't do that" if he heard the rooster.

 

 Petting the pony.

 Frankie & Warren looking at the horse.

 

 Frankie face was priceless when..............

 

 this lamb got out of his cage,  Don't worry Papa to rescue!!

 Ridding the rides!!!

 It doesn't really seem like the boys had fun because there were no smiles i the pictures but I think they had a blast!!

 

No fair would be complete without funnel cake!!

Fair Parade 2012

We had so much fun much fun at the fair parade!  Both boys did great!  You have to get there early to get a seat but then you end up having to wait until it starts so you have to entertain Frankie some.  I also love that my parents come with us.  I always went with my mom and dad every year even when I was in college.  The only years that we didn't go was when I moved away.  Trey even got to come this year!  I am so happy he got to go because I feel like he has to miss a lot of fun stuff with Frankie since he works night and has to sleep when we do a lot of the stuff.  I always try to show him the excitement that Frankie had but it's not the same!

 Colton & Grammy

 My love!

 Trying to get Frankie to sit still.

 Had to change his outfit because he spit up and he was quite so we let him

lay here until he wanted to get back up.

 Frankie marching with his helmet on.  Haha! 

 Frankie didn't want to take a picture, but love that cute little face anyway.

 This is pretty much what he did the entire time until the race cars came.

 Papa is so silly!

 Waving at the tractors.

 Clapping and saying "I did it"

Bath time.

 

When we left we ended up having to wait forever to get out of our parking spot and traffic was really backed up but the boys were pretty good in the car.  Frankie never stopped talking, he had a major sugar buzz going.  Haha!!  Can't wait till next year.  We will have 2 walking around then!

Labor Day Weekend

 

 

Family came into town which was so fun because we hadn't seen then in a while and they got to meet Colton.  They got in late Friday night so we just started off fresh on Saturday morning.  Trey was off on Saturday so he got to hang out for a little bit too.  I said that I was going to take just as many pictures of Colton as I did Frankie so I am really trying to do that. It seems like I am doing ok at my goal.  Before we loaded up in the car to head to Cape we took some family pictures.

 Love this of us three!!

 My favorite boys!!

Big J, Frankie, Uncle Sam 

Once we got to my parents that playing started.  Big J had the legos out and Frankie thought he was hot stuff playing with big kid toys.  He actually played really good with them.  Almost better than with his own toys.

 He like to jump off the couch onto a bean bag chair.  Not really a good idea but, oh well.  My dad would catch him sometime which of course Frankie thought was really funny.

 If dad doesn't catch him he basically does a face plant on to the bean bag.

 Colton looking at uncle Sam like who are you.

Frankie and Samantha 

Frankie's buddy for the weekend.

 We had to wait out the tornado warning in the basement on Saturday.  Frankie was clueless. Haha!

 Chachy and Sophie didn't seem to care and wanted to be upstairs.

 After the storm was over to headed to Casa for dinner.

 Big smiles, it's almost like he wants to talk but nothing comes out.

 Sunday we went back to Le Bounce.  Frankie once again had a blast!!

Ashley even drove home for a visit!!

 

It's always a great time seeing family!!  We had such a good time, can't wait to do it again!!
