TIME WITH TESSA- and other fun things!

First I have to say Tessa is a sweet girl, and we love her. I thought it would be fun to spend the day with her Saturday, her mom was ok with that, and my family had shifts to work at the fair so it worked out!

After we dropped Jeromy, Jade and Kent off at the fair, Tessa and I went to Barnes N Noble to get raspberry smoothies- they were so good!

Then we walked around the mall (neither one of our favorite things to do- but we were on a mission!). We were trying to find one of those photo booths. And we found one. I wanted to do it at the fair, but Jeromy said he hadn't seen one. So we found one at the mall- come oooon... how cute are we?? It actually made 2 copies that you tare into 2, so Tessa and I each have this same strip of pictures- mine is on my fridge...

Then I got her a new outfit. She is such a nice girl that it's easy to do fun things for her. And you are so welcome Tessa! You are a beautiful girl inside and out! Her shirts says "Love last forever"- isn't that right Tessa??

We stopped at the post office so Tessa could send off a package, then we went out to lunch at Fiesta... here's Tessa...

And me... with NACHOS... OH NO!!!

After our fun afternoon together, we thought we'd go hang out at the fair. Jade and Kent's shifts were over so I thought all the kids would have some fair fun (I wonder how much longer I can get away with calling Jade a kid??). I guessed we missed Laura and her family by about an hour- we miss you Laura! Jeromy still had to work... if you call this work. Here he is J3- with J2, I could not get these 2 to pose nice for a picture so this is what you get- TURKEYS!

One last hug for Jeromy before we headed out... well, Kent gave him bunny ears- that's love right?

I had to hug him, too... Tessa, Jade and Kent... and Kent's tongue, I noticed he was doing that in the pictures... anther turkey...

Made him give me a regular smile...

Tessa wanted to get her face painted. Jade and Kent have very sensitive skin so they can't do it. And Jeromy told Tessa there was no way I would do it. Which is true, don't like people touching my face. But I thought to myself: "Self- you have to break out of your comfort zone sometime and do some thing you wouldn't normally do." I know I know- you're thinking face painting- that's really a crazy move, calm down there Katie your going to freak some one out... LOL I make my self laugh! Here's Tessa in the painter's chair...

Her COOL turtle...Here we both are, see how daring I was? I got a small heart on my face with J3 on it...

Ok, we got some tickets- gotta share kids! We went over to the big kid rides... there's Kent's tongue again- turkeyWith all those tickets, each kid could only go in 2 rides. Better make 'em good! Kent went on his own rides. But Jade and Tessa chose the same rides. Here they are in line for their first ride... called the hammer head I think... could be wrong, thought it had the word hammer in it somewhere...Here they are getting strapped in.... looks like they may be going upside down in this ride...

Here's the girls' other ride... they went flyin'...Ok onto ice-cream... the vanilla cone is mine, I shoved it in the picture as I snapped it...Now, I thought this was the coolest part of the fair. They had this huge pool full of water, and then they'd fill up these huge balls of air and put YOU inside of it then thro you into the water! How fun does that look? You didn't get wet, but you rolled around in the water in this huge bubble thing. Here's Kent just chillin' floatin' in his bubble...

Here's a video of the balls in the water!

We stayed until 10pm until it closed which just happened to be the end of Jeromy's shift!

We had alot of fun yesterday! And I had a great day with you Tessa, hope you had fun, too!

Today I picked up our family pictures that were back in. They are a little blurry here, but at least you can see them... this year we chose shades of brown to wear. Ok- time for dinner. Hope you had a great weekend!
