L.A. County Fair 2009....here come the Holland's!








On Sunday, we had our annual tradition of going to the fair! We had a BLAST!!!! The very first stop of the day....soft serve( Grandma is teaching Emily early)! I won't confess how many times we actually hit the soft serve stands! Grandpa and Grandma bought the kids wristbands for the rides, and they were itching to get to the carnival area! Ryan makes my heart skip a beat (or three)! He is such a daredevil, and will try anything at least once! I had to walk away, I couldn't even watch, my stomach was in knots! Richie on the other hand.....not such a daredevil! Emily, well, she's in the middle...she loves the rides, even some that are kinda crazy for her age!
We saw a dog show, and that was lots of fun! Richie was even picked out of the crowd to participate in the show! It was Doggone fun!!!
The kids played carnival games, we caught a horse race, and visited the animals(my favorite part)! We saw baby goats that were only a few days old...so cute! We went in the petting zoo, and Emily almost got trampled by the goats fighting over her food! She loved every minute of it!
We ended the night with our stop at the chocolate milk stand, and even caught the fireworks show on the way out! It was a great day! Thank you so much to Grandpa and Grandma Holland for making the day so special! We love you guys♥

Grandpa and Grandma's 50th Anniversary Party!








Well, once again it was another busy weekend for our family! We celebrated Grandpa and Grandma Valadez's 50th anniversary! WOW what an achievement!!! We had a wonderful party for them at our clubhouse where we live, and although it was ALOT of work...it was amazing!We felt so blessed to be able to share such an amazing time in their lives! These days, hearing of a marriage lasting 50 years, is sadly a rare thing! In February, Jr. and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary...Wohooo! We only have 40 more to go, until we hit our 50th....Wow! Marriage is truly one of God's gifts to us! I love my husband with all my heart and thank God for him each and every day!
Happy 50th Aniversary Grandpa and Grandma.....we love you both!♥
