**This has been sitting in my drafts folder...why I do not know, but here it is.**
This picture was taken at exactly 4:50pm on Oct 20, 2008*!
*Note: He was also enjoying pizza at a good friend/neighbor's house at the time!

This is Tad...most of you will recognize him from Finding Nemo. He's the one who proudly announces "I'm obnoxious!" Val loves this movie & I mean really loves this movie. So Daddy & Val are looking thru a book of animals & he see's this fish(a yellow bottle nosed butterfly fish) after examining it for a while he decides its the "noxious" fish!
.
These are what I managed to come up with.
While big sisters were at youth group Thursday, we decided to go to get out of the house for a while & go to the park
Holding my hand walking to the park down the street(I love this one!)
Running to the playground! We made it!!!
Getting ready to slide down after climbing up it!
Dad helping Val up the rock wall...
Coming down the slide! I have a pic of Sunnie not much older than Val coming down this slide too!
Val absolutely loves the Disney's Little Einstein series! I bought 2 DVDs when Sunnie was little & now they have become Val's! His favorite one of all is when a bald eagle takes Leo's (conducting) baton...
He always copies them & says "Sing with me" so I used it to get him to sing his part that he repeats several times a day!
*Translation: "Bald eagle take 'ton(baton), Leo's 'ton(baton)"
Thorra, Val, & Sunnie on the carousel. (my fav. pic)
Sunnie on the Euro Bungee
Fred & Val on the little train
Sunnie on the plane ride
David "CannonBall" Smith is a 67 year old man that gets
shot out of this cannon. This pic was taken right
before they shot him into the net...
I hardly got any pics of Thorra because she was too busy running around with a friend & her dad hitting all the bigger rides. Fred & I walked around with Sunnie & Val checking out all the livestock & hitting up the "kiddie" rides, Val really liked the sheep & cows...he kept mooing at them!
I totally underestimated the weather ,we went from foggy & windy here at home to hot & sunny at the fairgrounds...my face is sunburned, Val's cheeks are a little pink, & so are Fred's...I can't believe I forgot the sunblock!
We left our house at 11:30am & got home around 5pm, everyone is tired & worn out so I'm hoping everyone sleeps well tonight!
More pics of Val & his favorite ride below...
2 Happy's~~~
So twice today Val has peed in his potty chair!!!!! The first time was this morning when he was playing upstairs with Sunnie & he told her "Potty" so she brought him downstairs to the bathroom where his chair is & he went! We were so happy & partially shocked, we just got the potty chair out of storage & brought it home a couple weeks ago just to have it in the bathroom for him. The second time happened this afternoon...Sunnie took him in there again & he went again! He really likes flushing the toilet so that 's kinda what he gets to do after he goes until he gets a little older & really realizes what's going on.
1 LOL~Val walked into the living room this afternoon with a softball & a squishy green ball, held them up to his chest & said "Boobs!" I have no idea where he got that from but it was hilarious!
**Edited to add: He went in the potty 2 more times!!!!!!!**
