Do your kids ever...

fall asleep in strange situations, places or times? My children were never really "those kids", you know the ones that fall asleep in a highchair or playing on the floor? I always wanted them to be, but normally it is only in their beds, and occasionally in the car. Until lately...

Yes that is a chicken nugget in his mouth and yes he is sound asleep!

Disclaimer: We were on our way home from t-ball so we hit up the drive thru and I took the nugget out of his mouth right after I snapped this picture :)

We were on a family walk and she fell asleep in the backpack.

2nd Disclaimer: My hubby took the pack off, we snapped the picture and laid her down in her own bed. Although we did debated letting sleep peacefully while standing up :)

How about you? Do your kids fall asleep randomly? Or are they mostly bed sleepers?

Coming Soon to Sacramento! May 23-27 Sacramento County Fair

At my house we have a few annual events that we have to attend. Its just tradition to go and it would not be the same to not attend. One of those events is the Sacramento County Fair!!! We love the animals, the shows, the rides, the food and spending time together. 

Our top favorite thing to do at the fair is look at all the animals. My husband has family members that participated in the 4H programs as kids and we do have our "one day" plan to have a little farm with animals so I think its wonderful to have our son see the livestock and the junior handlers. We learn something new each year we attend. My son has been talking about sheep and piggies ever since I told him the fair was coming.

Making memories is what a County Fair is all about! Its hard to pick one day to go since each day is full of new attractions. I love that the price is only $5 for adults and kids 12 and under are FREE! Another SUPER Duper awesome part of the Sacramento County Fair is that it is a Smoke Free Fair, that means no smoking allowed inside the fair gates, gotta love a fair with just fair food in the air! :)

You can order tickets to the Sacramento County Fair here.

A new kitty in the family...

This weekend the littlest sister in our family, Megan, got this sweet little kitten. 

He is just 10 weeks old and is the sweetest, tiniest little thing.

She has decided to name him Mango :) 

We spent all day watching him explore his new environment, try out his new toys and just be.

That and watched my children pick him up, put him down and carry him around like a baby about a hundred times!

Everyone is a sucker for a new kitten, and we are no exception.
