CHEESE!
Keri, Breanna and I couldn't figure out where everyone was getting the sweet sequined hats... until we found the booth that sold them, dang I should have bought this one, I look totally hip hop in it! Ha!

Rory and Sloan, or as Keri and I refer to them "Jonathon and David"!

Friday was the first day of the Puyallup fair, so the Keri and I rounded up our gangs and headed down to "do the Puyallup". It was so much fun, I love the fair! We looked at all the animals and ate and ate and ate... cotton candy, scones, curly fries, corn on the cob, crusty pups, pizza, bbq chicken, elephant ears and ice cream cones to name a few! I LOVE the fair, I would go every day if I could while it lasts. All the kids had a great time together and Breanna came too! Saturday the boys had their soccer jamboree and picture day, the weather was beautiful and it was fairly relaxing as far as jamboree days go! Later that day I went down to the urgent care because I haven't been feeling good all week, and come to find out I had strep throat! Yuk! No wonder I felt so horrible. Apparently I am no longer contagious and I am now on antiobiotics. Saturday night at midnight Breanna moved out...sad! I have been dreading this moment and it was worse than I thought it would be. She had to move out though because our new GL was getting ready to move in Sunday! She got offered a full ride scholarship to Seattle U. to play basketball and will be moving up there in about a week, isn't she amazing? Sunday morning I got up with Olivia at the crack of dawn and headed to Seattle to run the Iron Girl. I ran the 5k which is only 3.1 miles, but it still wasn't the funnest thing to be doing with strep throat but I figured "what the heck, I am already signed up". We ran really easy, partly because we couldn't break out of the pack until about halfway, but I think my time was about 27:30, so about an 8:50+ mile, which is fine considering our first mile we felt like we were walking!! Then I headed to church where Pastor Dave was the speaker... he is so amazing, so amazing, I miss him so much. After church we had the GL orientation/bbq where we met our GL Cody! So were at church until like 3pm, than he came home and moved his stuff in. We can already tell he is going to do just fine living with us! He played foozball with the boys in the basement and went out to look at their fort in the woods. We spent last night just talking with him and getting to know him a little better. It is going to be a good year!
