Friday Funnies:

This one is a Cie-J funny.  While showing our friends around a casino, we saw this store and he had to get a "boys picture" with him and Jackson!  HAHAHA!
And yes, he is pointing up.  Stinker.

Jackson Comes To Visit:

My BFF and her son came to visit us and we couldn't have been more excited!  I'm going to post a ton of pictures, so please bare with me here. =)  First of all, we made our first trip to the airport to pick them up.
Alanna was completely disgusted that she couldn't play any of the fun games there.  I was just amazed that they have machines in the airport.  I guess it shouldn't surprise me anymore, because they are everywhere here!
It was a long day of travel for them, but Jackson adjusted like a champ.  It's almost like we live in a different world here.  The time zone change is hard to get used to.
 We went to a pumpkin patch in the local apple orchard and Jackson insisted to carry our goodies to the cash register.  It was so cute how he threw that sack over his shoulder. =)
 It was fun having two little red heads together.
They had a blast on the rides at Circus Circus.

We took them to see some big fish and sting ray and sharks.  I think overall they liked the escalator the best though.  Haha.


Overall, it was a fun, fun time and it was super special for all of us.

Horse Rescue:

We went with a group of friends to a cute little horse rescue that had all kinds of animals running around on their property.  We took carrots to feed to the horses. 
 Alanna was NOT so sure about those big chompers and those huge wiggling lips! She wouldn't hold the carrot up high enough for them to actually get it.
This poor horse tried and tried to get this carrot from her...
Look at this poor thing breaking his neck just trying to get a carrot.  I felt bad for him and finally gave it to him myself. =)  Also...Alanna insisted to wear a fancy tutu outfit with a big bow and church shoes to this farm.  I wasn't up for the fighting, so I let her do it.  She looked SO out of place.  In fact, a complete stranger came up and wished her a happy birthday! HA!  When I told them it wasn't her birthday, they were shocked and said "I just knew it was because of her special outfit."  Little did they know that this is every day in our house!  Oh the joys of living with a diva!!  HAHA!

The farm his this area for kids to play in with this old school wooden merry go round.  They ALL got the biggest kick out of it.  The sweet girl in the pink hoodie was so concerned about the little kids being on the outside and didn't want the boys to run too fast.  So sweet.  She kept a close eye on Alanna.

 Alanna finally told her "You know I'm 4 right?  I'm a big girl and I like to go fast!"  Little stinker.  She has no fear.  This was such a fun day and at night when I was tucking her in, I asked her what her favorite part of the day was.  She said "The best part was when the horse sneezed on you and you got snot all over your shirt and arm!!!!"  True story.

Friday Funnies:

"Mommy, I'm playing Little Mermaid with Asha and I'm Ariel and I'm using the dinglehopper on her hair!!!"

I love that you can look at her cheeks and see the huge smile on her face.  She thought this was the greatest idea ever!

#PoorDog

 She was "sick" and needed some friends. She was not thrilled to have a pink poodle laying beside her. 

But...she actually DID go to sleep!  Maybe she's not so poor after all!
