I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I love Michael Buble.  Huge, huge, superfan* and have been since he pretty much came on the music scene.  My mom is too, and a few days ago we went to see him in concert.

                                                         

Did I mention we had floor seats?  We were super duper close!

We were on the aisle, which was annoying when people got up to go to the bathroom or get drinks, but was perfect when he walked by to get on another platform  He squeezed my hand when he walked by.  *swoon*

It was a two hour drive, and we got home after 1:00 am but it was well worth it!

*How much of a super fan am I, you ask.  Enough to pump in the parking lot of the arena.

Fortunately on the way up we stopped at Home Goods, where I bought a super cute outdoor tablecloth which worked perfectly as a hooter hider, since I forgot mine!

Fun at the Fair

On Wednesday we went to the Fair.  We love the fair - it is so different now, having kids.  As soon as we walked in Leila saw the carousel.  Obviously we had to stop and ride it:

Then we went to the 4-H section, where we made a scarecrow:

And groomed a horse:

Then we walked around looking at all of the tiny baby chicks and ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs and then headed over to the stinky animals - the cows, goats, pigs and horses.  We had some lunch and got to visit daddy's friends (the firefighter station - a bunch of our friends were working, and Leila felt very cool knowing all of the firefighters.) 

Then it was time for Leila's favorite activity of all time - pony rides:

Leila couldn't understand why the pony was named Cinnamon.  "You put cinnamon on your hot chocolate, you don't name your pony Cinnamon!"

Read more about Leila's pony riding love here and here and here and here.

Then rides!!

Dizzy dragons:

the teacups:

Wannabe Dumbo:

and after the rides we shared an ice cream, and snapped some pictures:

Finally, it was just about time to go, but not before we squeezed in one last pony ride:

After a long, hot day at the fair we went a little bananas:

After our day at the fair I went to see "Eclipse" (omgosh, best movie so far!!  Taylor Lautner = pure yum!)  I was home around 11:00 and started packing for our mini vacay in Monterey, but more on that later....

Happiness is...

...lounging in the blow-up pool...

...while your baby sleeps peacefully in the shade (swimsuit on, ready to go!)

...while watching your kiddo and hubby having fun on their new Ariel slip 'n slide.

Happy Summer, everyone!
