Yummy and thoughtful!

Last week Bill had to work late a couple of days. One night he went out to eat with his boss and co workers from out of town. At the end of the meal his boss told him to pick out a dessert and bring it home to me! A very nice surprise for me! This was the triple chocolate cake. It was very yummy! The cake was so moist, and the frosting was more like a chocolate mousse. I even shared with my girls, and they both thought it was very yummy too!

Leaf Bouquets

I should have maybe taken this picture a little sooner, as they kind of dried up and curled a bit, but I thought I'd still blog about it. These are the leaf bouquets that the girls got to make with their aunt Bea. I think they are beautiful!

Matching Tank Tops

This is a picture of the matching tank tops that Auntie Kristi bought the girls the last time she was visiting. It's funny, cause the first time Hannah asked me to wear a tank top, she called it a tator tot.

A Very Fun Date!

Bill and I got to go the Water Park of America for free! It was fun to check it out. For a hotel water park, it seemed pretty big. It wasn't as big as an outdoor water park, or anything like that. It had a group slide, two inner tube slides where you could ride single or double, and then 3 body slides, two of which were closed. It had a big kid area in the middle, which we didn't check out cause our kids weren't with us:) They had a pool, a wave pool, a lazy river, and a surf/body board wave. The group slide was so much fun! It felt so long, as it would weave in and out of the building. It was really cool when it got darker outside! We also rode the inner tube slides a lot, which were also fun when it got dark, as they weaved in and out of the building as well. I wasn't too big on the body slide, cause the space was kind of small, and you didn't know where you were going to end up! The two inner tube slides also ended up right in the lazy river, so that was fun. We also had a good laugh, cause Bill wanted to try surfing. After watching him not be so successful at it, my guess is that it's a lot harder than it looks! He was able to laugh about it also, so that was good! And at least he tried it, cause I did not! It was a very fun date, and we were both glad that we got to check this water park out!

Funny Luxuries

We have this funny little feature in our van. The volume of the radio changes as you accelerate or decelerate, going louder when you accelerate, and quieter when you decelerate. It was funny when I first figured it out, cause I was sure I didn't touch the volume, yet the volume was different. It's crazy how you adjust to things like that. Now I when I have to drive Bill's car, I kind of get annoyed when I have to adjust the volume myself. Go figure!

A good start!

Well, I have to say that the start of my fantasy football year has gone way better than expected! In my dad's league I won both of my match ups! And, in my yahoo league I won my match up and I am in first place for the whole league because I also scored the most points! Now I know it's only the first week, and things can change in an instant! It's just fun for now, cause I really didn't think my teams were that good this year! Hopefully week two will go just as well, if not better!

Football!

Well, this was the opening weekend for football! Which is always an exciting time!

The Lions didn't do so well, but that's OK!

What is exciting though, is these two little fans!!


Lillian was pretty funny. She would repeat these little cheers I would make, like, "Tackle that running man", or "sack that quarter back!" The best though was when I asked her if she would be my little football buddy, and she said yes! :)

I have the usual two fantasy football teams this year. I hope I will do well. One team isn't looking that good, but I was winning as of this afternoon.

State Fair Time

We made it to the state fair this year. We were able to go on a week day, and it felt less busy which was nice! We walked a lot and ate a lot! We even made it on the 4 o' clock news for Kare 11. The girls got free bike helmets this year too. It was a fun time!

Helping Hands

This is a cool place to visit at the fair with kids. They have to go around a farm and feed animals, and plant produce, and pick produce, and gather eggs, and pick apples, and then sell all their goods, and then they get to buy something at the end! This is the second year they have done this, and they both really enjoy it!

Rides

Here are the rides they got to ride.
