First day of school

On Monday was Kinseys first day of Kids Day Inn. We chose to do another year of that versus 2 day a week preschool. I want to eat up every second I have with her. Before I know it she will be gone all day at school, left in the care of near strangers. My stomach is in knots thinking about it.
But for now she just goes to school one day a week. Baby steps for this momma.
Because she went last year she knew what to expect. She had some of the same classmates but a new teacher. 
Daddy stayed home in the morning again and we had a special McDonalds breakfast. Not healthy but made for one happy little gal!
I did the obligatory first day pics and followed her all the way in snapping pic after pic. 
Someday when she is grown I will look back on these pics with a bottle of wine and box of tissues. Probably sooner than that.......
She kissed me goodbye and marched right into that room like she owned the place. 

Kinsey girl you are a smart, independent loving girl. Please never change that. I hope you learn a ton of new things this year and make lots of new friends. I hope you never lose that sweet innocence. Have a great year of school princess!

State Fair!

Its that time again! We made our annual trip to the state fair with our good friends!
I sure do love it. Watching all of the people, fair food.......just all of it makes my heart super happy!
We went last Saturday and it was a scorcher. We thought by getting there early evening we could avoid some of the heat. We had about an hour of uber sticky nasty heat and then it cooled off to be a surprisingly comfortable evening. 
This has been the best year yet for Kinsey. She is finally old enough to really get all of the excitement and actually old enough to be able to participate in most of it.
Highlight for sweet Logan was the John Deer Tractors. This little guys eyes lit up when he saw them. He pointed and ran. Climbed up into the seat and would have been content there all night.

Doesn't hurt to have a pretty cute passenger too!:)

Kinseys highlight was the roller coaster. Last year we stuck to the little kid rides. This year she wanted to bump it up a notch and ride the bigger roller coaster. Colton was not too sure at first but after enough badgering from Kinsey he got on. They rode it twice even braving putting both hands in the air going down the "big" hills! My heart overflows with joy to watch her have so much fun.

We ended the night with some ice cream and had two very tired kids on the ride home.

I love building these family memories together. Sure the state fair may be slightly lame but I pray these two remember having great times as a family. My prayer is that these memories bind us together forever.

And this is how this guy ended the night. Its rough staying up late when you are such a little guy:(

Here are a few extra pics of our fun time!!
