I thought it was great. The others did not concur. We then ran some errands. Came home to find an almost flat tire- rushed to Discount Tire. They close at 5, I got there at 5:30, they still fixed my tire- for free. And were so nice. I love them! (Isn't if funny that we were just talking about them, Misty?) Rushed home to scarf down dinner, rushed to Target for cash, then rushed to Orem Fest to watch Babus in the parade. Went on rides, got cotton candy. Check out Alex's picture! Rushed back to Target to finish errands. Came home- got home at 10? </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212331665443343842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeNbhZ0rXx_zRQWw40kDd2SC2uVNV5i7P-jv_yQHjwu603mxustrE7g3yM9UoEv9FDBpY8NBrYpWJh406c1ewlQ72t38YgXLJfJXqHRQ3Rt1pa69w9uGJ_cFw8NyBjft7Zw2EAn6yoBww/s320/IMG_0598.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigc7DXAZl0VXtLCEfAPeGF0K19cbWGn7i3ch9ZA1Tvdh8lm48KUF8exgtvacyZjXJVLwibnKgBqd43S-gbzm6eqO9iy-eng8Qy83G44jAAcOyDIbjgqkM-DUKyWretQ29-vLMrRBiAvGk/s1600-h/IMG_0589.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212331841460285586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigc7DXAZl0VXtLCEfAPeGF0K19cbWGn7i3ch9ZA1Tvdh8lm48KUF8exgtvacyZjXJVLwibnKgBqd43S-gbzm6eqO9iy-eng8Qy83G44jAAcOyDIbjgqkM-DUKyWretQ29-vLMrRBiAvGk/s320/IMG_0589.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212334521911369138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTGKgVgSia18XBhBm9qr3_IOtnOytpXb7dd63W2sLe76EZdeeJnc0JJHLYzFzAcDKPq89Rj0LEb3wANNOyoohw6EAasFsrM46qocqHYexcHsI-5cr9Wt7FbKOJr3fHrrDPsIe0wux86g/s320/IMG_0601.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Cotton Candy - Dave's worst nightmare!<br /><br /><br /><div>Sunday: Father's Day.

I figured, he won't like it. He gets his way, I prove him wrong. It's a win-win. Nope. He loved it. He quietly ate it, dipping in ketchup while I talked on the phone.

Her kindergarten class put on a play based on the book <em>Moose's Loose Tooth. </em>She was the zebra. And she was darling. Her form was perfect ;) Oh, and I have to give a shout out to the maker of the zebra costume. Fabulous. Alex is Doogie's biggest fan. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5201059455215737442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFuxiZ27C9GhComZ70e8j6SR1t_Bn_LDU15iDTSHFRzMLAVCk9Ettc9Gb0hWGN9pnpPPQZIX0r6nb3jwI3Z1mKv2g2X1X1KYsQeGuL60Vfh0zhtXTG3BX6avSfc8GkZlCdhrek-Tzwx4Y/s320/IMG_0551.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div>Virginiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256151468862537961noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006488374790974313.post-6002537694536605732008-05-12T15:31:00.000-06:002008-12-09T11:34:35.745-07:00Playing with the Ducks<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTCTWCWqMxwlB6KuP_Vmy6kPoQqXiwQ5prEAg-i8rfAcfjDa0xapeKeW_IGHKfnylLx0q_BFkaGdin1LpSXRbHJwYaF61yGPseZPWP6mF0DiLBfEc-HEbanp_U26fyXDFCP2EV0-uQrt0/s1600-h/IMG_0538.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200999789530061330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTCTWCWqMxwlB6KuP_Vmy6kPoQqXiwQ5prEAg-i8rfAcfjDa0xapeKeW_IGHKfnylLx0q_BFkaGdin1LpSXRbHJwYaF61yGPseZPWP6mF0DiLBfEc-HEbanp_U26fyXDFCP2EV0-uQrt0/s200/IMG_0538.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Alex and I have a new fun activity we like to do. We take a bike ride to the ducks not far from our house. Alex loves to feed them. He so desperately wants them to eat off his hand, but they never do. As soon as they get close enough, Alex reaches for them (he wants to pick them up also), and they back off. He loves them. Here's a picture. </div></div>Virginiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256151468862537961noreply@blogger.com0
