It’s My Wonderful Life

Well, I finally broke down and went to the city pool. Ashton has been begging to go, so we finally went.

Ashton is always the safe and cautious one. He never goes anywhere without his life jacket. He has been getting a little brave and trying to swim without it.

It took all summer, but Kaylee is finally liking the water. She is the one that refuses to use a life jacket or even life saving device. She will be swimming before Ashton.

Couldn’t resist the camera loves her.

Little man got brave and jumped off the diving board. (Of course not without the trusting life jacket.)

Of course, I can’t forget Michael. He loves to play too.

Yes, the dreaded carnival that comes to town and parks itself at the main intersection for all the kids to see on their way to school is here. Ashton has been begging to go. Of course pay day is not until the 15th, so that means Mommy has no money until then. It breaks your sons heart because he can’t go. I told Ashton that if I could find a way, I would take him but don’t put your hopes in to going. Well, that special way happened to come around this morning. Joe Burgess from Monticellolive was giving away arm bands to the carnival. The article said to be the first caller to call in. Laughing it off, I said I would try. I never win stuff and especially when having to be the first caller. Well, I called in and actually was the first one. See it pays to read Monticellolive every morning before I get ready for school and get the kids up. Next time, remember, if you read Monticellolive early in the morning around 6, you to could be a winner. Here are some pictures from the carnival.

Proof that I won tickets!!! (A once in a lifetime event)
