LA County Fair Year 2

We were invited to attend the LA County Fair with Casa Colina again this year. Even though we graduated over a year ago they welcomed us back. We had a multiples day. There were 2 sets of quads, 5 sets of triplets, 1 set of twins and 2 singletons in attendance plus all the helpers. It was quite a sight.

Security stopped us and wouldn't let us in with our choo choo's. We had to wait to get approval from the administration to use them. When we were finally approved we had a security escort in and then there was an alert put on our choo-choo's for the rest of the day. We felt like Kate Gosselin.

Jake looks so grown up

Jaileigh was very concerned

Once we got in we headed right for the petting zoo. The kids were not impressed. There is a big corral with a bunch of animals roaming around. The animals jump on people and were bigger than the kids. The felt much more confortable on the other side of the fence.

Sorry these pictures are dark. Something was wrong with the camera or the operator. Not sure which.

This is Sharon or old teacher. She is hilarious and got to join us today! It was so fun seeing her again. She helped Stephanie and I out since neither one of us had helpers. Thank you!

Dinosaurs!

Happy Graduation To Us!

We graduated from our Early Start program. Last year when we turned 18 months we actually really graduated but because I was pregnant and probably looked and acted very stressed they let me bring the quads to "school" at our local early start program. So, each week since February I have been taking the kids to school. They have had so much fun. They have met friends, worked on gross motor, fine motor, arts and crafts, speech and socialization. A parent got to be present each time so I was lucky enough to watch the progress. I was almost teary eyed on graduation day because the kids have so much fun at school. They have learned so many songs that they love to sing. I am so thankful for the time that we were allowed to participate in this wonderful program.

My camera has been dropped too many times and needs to go in to the shop so this picture is really poor quality but I still love it. Jaileigh and Annie playing on the floor. Jaileigh is trying to hold Annie's hand.
