Off to the fair we went....

So, we ventured out to the Williamson County Fair again this year. We took Parker last year and had a good time, but this year was even better. He was able to do SO much more this year, and was a lot more into everything. There were several toddler rides that he could do, which he loved. He kept saying "again, again, one more time, one more time." There was also a large petting zoo and he got to ride a real pony! They also had a little "fake farm" set up and the kids got to wear an apron and do various farm activities. They fed the fake chickens, milked a fake cow, and picked fake fruits and vegetables. At the end you took your stuff to the market and sold it for fake money to buy something at the store. Parker picked out animal crackers with the money he made! It was a really cute idea, and Parker seemed to enjoy it! Oh- and I can't forget the pirate bear that Anthony won for Parker...which only ended up costing us $17 in games :) Here are some pics from the fair!

SURPRISE!!!

My friend Rachael,(who I have mentioned in previous blogs) just recently finished her treatments for breast cancer!! In honor of this awesome milestone, my friend Terri and I threw Rachael a Surprise party last weekend! We had a lot of help from Rachael's family and friends in order to pull of such a mega stunt! It was very hard to keep this a secret, but I am happy to report that Rachael was VERY surprised when she walked in the door to see a ton of her friends and family wearing pink and yelling "SURPRISE!" She has been so amazing throughout everything she has been through the past 8 months, and it was so great to be able to celebrate with her! I am attaching a few pictures below from the night!
