Beach Day and OC Fair

OC Fair. Of course Emily had NO desire to eat this. 

 We went to the OC Fair to see a dog show. We thought of adventuring for some "fair food"; however we all chickened out about getting a fried Oreo or bacon donut, fried twinkie, etc..Sooooo we we got the rotisserie chicken & waffles. Emily had a peanut butter sandwich that i made and brought to the fair.

1st time to OC Fair. Emily does not remember going to the OC Fair when she was 5 years old.

Crazy ride

Tried several fair games; but no win. Did find one game where she had a better chance. It was a ball toss game. And she got this cute pink monkey.

Emily is happy with the winning monkey.

Louie does not seem happy with the fair monkey

Good doggie!

Summer 2012 Off to a Great Start

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog. Our summer has been fun especially for Emily who has been able to spend a huge chunk of time with her dear friend Amanda who is here from Singapore for 5 weeks (she leaves on August 3rd). 

Here are some pictures capturing our summer events. It's not over yet; but at least I can post the part 1 of Summer 2012.

Amanda SURPRISES Emily on her last day of school. Amanda hid in the trunk of the car. When Emily opened up the trunk she found AMANDA!!!!

Reunited once again!!!

Amanda got so tall

Sleepover fun!

Now here are some pictures from early on in the summer where we went down to Nueva Generacion to Boy's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. We go there almost every month and it's always fun and full of blessing for us!
