Thurs. evening we took the kids to the Homecoming. We bought arm bands and let them ride lots of rides. Two of my babies were in the baby show - my best friends baby - Jake and then my nephew Joel so we watched that. It was really stinkin hot though. Then my scrappin pals daughter was in the queen pageant so we watched that too.
My nephew Joel and his mommy before the baby show in his cute lil Hawaiian monkey shirt.
There he is with his Dad (looks just like his dad) waving his lil paper up on stage.
There was like 18 kids in his category and only two prizes so he didn't win anything officially
but in my book he was the cutest one up there.
There is lil Jake & his mommy (my bestest friend) and he won first place in his category.
The twins riding the elephants
This was Ryan's favorite ride. He would of rode it over and over all night if we would of let him. He kept hanging his head over and watching the wheels go around.
Aleigh driving with both wheels
Avery riding the carousel with cousin Trey
Ryan riding with cousin Tyler
Aleigh having a good time
Aleigh climbing up to slide down the big slide. Avery loved this and climbed it easy as can be but Ryan couldn't get up by himself. Him and Trey went up once together.
Ryan was getting a bit tuckered out and was resting on Pomp-Po (I love this picture)
Aleigh riding the ferris wheel for the first time. Craig bought tickets so he could go with her
Up, up they go
The Best Commercial
Let me sing it to you "Let your love flow..." Know which one I am talking about. So I am reading one of my fav blogs and she starts talking about the Prius hybrid commercial and how every time the commercial comes on her husbands says "We need to find this song!" Well, the funny thing is my husband and I always have the exact same conversation when it comes on so I was delighted when she linked me to the download. Not only to the song but to a cool video which shows how they made it. Of course I have to share. Now I can listen to the song anytime I feel the need. Not only is the song catchy but I just love how they did the commercial with people like that. Pretty awesome stuff!
You can download the song free from Toyota's website here:

And here's the video on how the commercial was actually made (using real people).

Father's Day
So how was everyone's Father's Day? We had a pretty good day. Pastor preached a Duct Tape themed sermon (hee-hee) and then my Dad came over after church. I made scalloped ham and potatoes, lima beans, and a peach pie. Some of his fav foods. He brought me the best present, a whole bunch of freshly picked raspberries - yum. I can't wait to make a cheesecake. My raspberry cheesecake is to die for. We did Craig's Father Day dinner Saturday evening and I made him a roast, mashed potatoes, homemade noodles and green beans. Aleigh made him a card and I got him a subscription to Reader's Digest. It has been something he has wanted for awhile now. Then for my Dad's present I took him to Wal-mart and paid for him to get his fishing license. That evening we went over to Craig's sister house and she made homemade pizza and we just hung out. We played hide-in-seek and Aleigh hid so good, that three adults couldn't find her. LOL We finally told her to just come out. So yeah, good times.
Well I guess that's all folks.
P.S. I hope the Juicy Fruit song gets stuck in your head like it is in mine
