Isabella and Grammy went through a small petting zoo at the Hamburger Festival.
Give me that camera Mommy!!!!!I needed to get red cupcake liners for a special treat I am making for Isabella's snack day at school, so we decided to go to A.C. Moore to see if they had anything. While we were there Isabella asked if we could get something to make a craft. So this is what we decided on.
And this is what we made! : )
This is what Isabella and I do to Raymond when Daddy isn't home. Poor kid.
Speaking of Raymond, he really loves to look through books. It's almost impossible to actually read him a book because he ripes it out of my hands. However, if I give him a book (board book or cloth - all others are a goner) he will look at it for a long time. Raymond picked this one out at the library.
On Friday night we went to a football game at Fleetwood High School. My cousin Stephanie's school was playing them so we went to watch her and the other cheerleaders. This was Chris' 1st ever high school football game. It only took 34 years! Isabella really liked watching them do their cheers. Stephanie is in the first row, second girl in.
We sat with Aunt Jeannie, Uncle Chuck and Mom-mom.
Raymond was a total chick magnet!
I wasn't sure how long Isabella would stay interested. She actually did really well. When there was about 10 minuted left in the game she said she was "just so sick of these men!" I asked her what men she was talking about and she pointed to the field and said "Those men!"
On Saturday we went to the annual Chili Pepper Festival. It was a nice day and we had a good time sampling everything. My uncle was supposed to come with us but at the last minute he had to work. When we got there we ran into Chris' cousin, wife and kids and ended up walking around with them. We bought a jar of stuffed peppers and they are so good!!!
The 11th annual Buddy Walk is in two weeks. I can't believe it's so close already. If you would like to walk on our team you still can but online registration is closed. You will have to register at the walk. Chris and I were so flattered when we were told that our family had been one of three selected to be honored at this years walk. We will also be leading off the walk by helping to carry the Buddy Walk banner. If you need a reminder why the walk and other Down Syndrome Awareness events are so important to our family and other DS families, watch the following link.

I also want to send out a BIG congratulations to our friends Sean and Sarah who were recently married in a beach ceremony in California. We are so thrilled and wish them a happy and blessed life together.
On a side note - Chloe, stay out of the bassinet!
Until next time!
Lots of Love,
Erica
