More Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin - A Chance of a Lifetime!

Today Charlie, Caleb, Emily and I traveled to Sioux City, Iowa to hear Sarah Palin speak. The event was amazing and a day Charlie and I will not soon forget. After she finished speaking I made my way to the front of the stage with Caleb on my shoulders. Before long I was at the front of the stage and she was headed my way. She looked at Caleb said he was beautiful and asked his name, how old he was and then asked if she could hold him. She asked a few questions about how he was doing, showed him to her daugther Piper and then signed Caleb's shirt. Then Piper asked a few questions, gave Caleb a high five and a sticker. The exchange was priceless! Charlie captured it with the photos below!

His shirt says "Sarah Palin for Vice President She Cares about Me!"

So cute, So Fun and getting BIG!

Since Emily seems to change weekly I thought I would share some new photos and a short video.

Trip to the Zoo

On Saturday we went to the Omaha Zoo. The kids loved it. Taylor wanted to see everything (but the snake and spiders) and read about everything. Brandon couldn’t wait to see the tigers and Caleb loved making different animal sounds.

Perks of Small Town Life

Living in a small down was kind of an adjustment for Charlie and I, but now with kids and ten years later it suits us well. One of the many perks to small town life is open house night at the local firehouse. Free hamburgers, chips and a soda served by the fire fighters and best of all the kids get to explore, climb and pretend to drive the equipment.

Buddy Walk

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month and that means it is BUDDY WALK time! The Buddy Walk is a one-mile walk which was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. This year we attended the Sioux Falls, SD walk. With Charlie out of town I got a friend Eileen to help me with the kids. Here are just a couple photos of us getting ready to go. I will post more photos on the walk later this week.

I made this shirt for Caleb -- We love seeing Sarah Palin's son Trig on the national stage!
