Les Cousins

Heidi and Jeremy went to Europe for some cool stuff that Jeremy's music was involved in.  I'll leave the details to Heidi because I know she'll be blogging about it soon (Ha!  YES...Snarky jab at the sister-in-law....FTW!)  Anywho, that meant that Kaleb and Anya got to stay with GG and Papa Tom for a while.  We met them in KC for a free dinosaur exhibit and we also went to Union Station and saw a whole bunch of model trains.  Good times.

Sisters, sisters..

Nice goggles you two...

She definitely looks at the world a different way (please also note her beads which were a must-have accessory for the day)

Kaleb & Taylor really do enjoy hanging out with each other, we should do that more often.

Anya & Kaleb in some sort of tunnel thing, where the lights were strange and Kaleb is looking oddly 'Zuul'-like.


If you are counting, that's 2 for July.

Oops!

I did it again.  (Yes, homage to the Britney of 2001)  I completely missed my goal of 2 posts a month for June.  And I'm about to do it again in July.  Good thing I have lots of things to say!

This post: St. John's Mexican Fiesta - 2012

We love going to our church's annual fiesta fundraiser.  It's usually 1000 degrees and that just makes the homemade Mexican food, live mariachi bands, and cold beer better.  They also have a little carnival, but the girls aren't really ever interested in waiting in the lines.  This year, they spotted cotton candy and we thought - eh, what the heck?  Personally, I cannot stand the stuff - but my sweets queen, you know she loved it.



Can't you just feel the sugar rush setting in (and the looming crash)?

It's as big as I am!





So on this outing, we learned:
1) Taylor loves Cotton Candy (wow - shocking)
2) Connor can do without Cotton Candy, but she loves salsa (again...shocked)
and 
3) These girls should not wear dresses without shorts underneath them to parks
