Salsa Fest

Today we went to a little festival downtown called Salsa Fest. They had lots of local vendors, contests, games for the kids, yummy food, local bands, chihuahua races and salsa sampling, of course. It was HOT but fun.Whoops, they came out wearing the same thing, ha ha. But, at least they're both showing their ASU pride!
Isn't he cute? Good luck in the races little guy!

The caboose of the train ride

and a bouncy house and we're officially ready for Fall weather!

Grandma & Grandpa Durfee

We all had fun visiting with Grandma & Grandpa Durfee for a few hours. They made a quick trip to visit Robert at the dentists office, then stopped by to say hi. (Gabs insisted her baby doll be in the picture too)

Let's go to the movies

For Gabby's 4th birthday, she wanted a movie-themed party. She chose to watch the new Barbie movie and we turned our living room into a movie theater. We sent out her movie ticket invitiations but she is such a social butterfly she couldn't resist inviting a few of the older girls in our ward too. It was a big neighborhood party!They each got fake dollar bills that they could use to buy popcorn and candy for the movie.
Nate wondered how he ended up in a house full of crazy girls but he loved all the attention :)

Hope you had a fun day Gabby girl!

Feed the birds

The other morning, as we were driving away from dropping Carter off, Gabby said, "I just really don't like it when Carter has to go school." So to help Gabby transition to school schedules again, I have been spending more one-on-one time with her during Nate's naps. Sometimes we will read or play games but this day we decided to take on a project. We made little bird feeders to hang in the trees. Gabs did most of the project all by herself!

And it made the long afternoon seem shorter

(Looks like someone had a little sample of the peanut butter :)

Representing

Everyone wanted to wear their Classy Closets (with old school logo) pajama shirts last night...and take pictures, of course.
