OC Fair....my news!

So, it's big news for me.
Only because for the past few years I have said I would enter some pictures.
This year, I finally did it.
And, 4 of the 6 that I submitted have been accepted into competition.
Here are the ones you can look for if you find yourself in the photography building.

Thanks to everyone, for supporting me on this little adventure!

bummer, summer

After a long day yesterday, we finally came home.
Green cast and all.

Jack had a crazy random "fall" on the field yesterday.
Fell just right.
Fractured his elbow.
But, he's been a trooper, and has handled it better than we would've EVER expected.

He missed his last day of school today, and we will
now start changing some of our daily summer plans...
No pool, or karate...or park play for 3 weeks.

He DID manage to do a Lego set today...whew!

strawberry fields forever

I was able to take the morning off and go with Jack's class on a field trip!
He was so happy to have me there, and I have to admit,
it was nice to be on a field trip wearing my "mom" hat.

We went to Tanaka Farms, in Irvine.

(When I look at this picture, I can't believe Jack is going to be a third grader!)

After the tractor ride, we got to pick our own strawberries.
I got a basket to fill, and so did Jack.
It's a good thing Molly LOVES them!

They also have watermelon tours, cook out tours, pumpkin tours,
Christmas tree tours, and a very cool
Community Supported Agriculture program.
I think we may have to take my 3 year old veggie and strawberry lover back this summer!

sooooo cute!

Lately, Molly has been in a phase where everything "little" is cute.

So, if I say, "look at that little puppy", she replies, "Awwww...it's SOOOOO cute".

At Disneyland, at the Baby Care Center, they have little toilets for potty training kiddos.
"Awwww...they are SOOOO cute".

Anything she interprets as "little" is automatically classified as
"SOOOO cute!"

And, by anything, I mean....
anything.

Wordless Wednesday

L.A....

While Jack was being famous on Hollywood & Highland,
Molly was obsessed with getting pictures taken with all the characters.
And, when I say characters, I mean characters.

Thank you, Jackie Cooper, for being 8 years old when you got your hand & footprints outside the theater.
I hope you don't mind that we covered the "ie" to make it work for MY Jack Cooper, 8 years old.
