Bethanie had her 12 month appointment today and she is still a little peanut.  She is 18 lbs 5 oz which is 10% for weight and she is 28 1/4 " tall which is 25% for height.

The doctor said she looks good and is developing just like she should.

State Fair

I took the kids to the state fair today with some friends and they had a blast.  We first visited the little hands on the farm section where they got to see all the chores you do on a farm.   We saw lots of farm animals along the way which Bethanie loved.  Then we went to the FFA building where we played with tractors and fished.  Then we looked for some lunch and headed home.

A day in the life - snapshot with us

So today I decided to blog about our day to day activities.

My day starts at 630 AM when Bethanie gets up.  Bethanie wakes up and I go to get her a bottle.  I then go and check on Joel to see if he is up yet but he is still sleeping so I go into Bethanies room and change her diaper.  I feed her a bottle and then let her play on our bed.

7 AM - Joel gets up and I have to convince him that he needs to use the potty first thing in the morning.

1220 put a corn dog into the oven for me.

1230 - ATT tech support guy calls and tells me that he is on the way.  He asks me to call and get the network key and username so that when he gets there if it is an issue with the modem it will be easier to get that done.

Puppet show

I took the kids to the Carmel City Center yesterday bc there was a free puppet show.  They both loved the show a lot.  AFter it was all done Joel kept asking where all the animals went and if he could go and dance with them again.  I told him that we would take him downtown sometime to go see another puppet show.  Here are some pictures from the show.
