We went to the SC state fair and had a great time- had some good fried food, but did not try the fried butter. I hear they also have fried cool aid and corn dogs with chocolate chips (did notice that they had 1 foot long corn dogs as well).
Sorry these two pics are so small. Cannot figure out how to change the size. If you click on them, you can usually view a larger size.
At the Oktoberfest. I will post a video of the girls dancing as well. It was a very fun event.
Valerie went to a friends birthday party on Sunday at Monkey Joes. Before hand, we used the new sewing machine that Steve got me to make that little bag to hold the gifts (our first ever completed project!). Valerie helps by pressing the backwards button and also provided inspiration on the design.
This weekend we spent much of the time just hanging out at home. Most of the time the kids get along great and play well together. Valerie also had a fun girl scout event to celebrate the birthday of the founder.
In other EVJO news- Ethan received his Baseball belt-loop and some achievement beads at his pack meeting this past week. Ethan and Valerie are enjoying their new piano teacher- a professor from USC. He's really doing a good job teaching them, since he is not going to let the music get harder than what they are actually ready to read(a problem for Ethan in the past since he can play really well by ear).
Julia and Valerie are enjoying soccer- I have a video of Julia's that I will try to post in the next day or so. It is really tough to keep those 3 and 4 year olds on the field and the number of players at any given time is incredibly fluid! It can be 2 versus 5 one moment and 4 versus 1 the next. But both of the girls seem pretty good at the sport, in my opinion.
Olivia is being her sweet self. Her verbal ability increases every day- it is really cute the was she says "Valerie" and "Julia"- she sticks her tongue out of her mouth as far as she can for the "L" sounds. She loves to take off all of her clothes and her diaper. This weekend it was impossible for us to keep her in her clothes.

Great job on the bag! First of many sewing projects! Give the kiddos hugs and kisses from us! Miss you guys!!
Awe! Thank you Lindsay! I made a little purse for Valerie and am working on a superhero purse/man-purse for Julia and Ethan. I will post pics of those too when I am done.
