#100 Dip Strawberries in Chocolate

Who doesn't love strawberries dipped in chocolate! and even better we got to do it with auntie kelly ...have I ever mentioned that Kelly is Madison's hero!

I am always a little nervous when Madison is in the kitchen...mostly because she's always in such a hurry that she doesn't wait for me to help her so she stays safe. But she did really good!







 Madison is clearly very happy about our chocolate dipped strawberries.



Dessert was very good that day!

#14 Invent or create your own game

This game just got funnier as we played it! we are sooooo keeping it around for a while.

# 58 Learn 2 new magic tricks

Anthony Taught madison two new magic tricks...how to make pepper run away from your finger



and how to command a ketchup packet to move up and down a bottle...which i was too mesmerized by to bother to take pictures or video ...doh!

#18 Attend a sports event

Today Anthony took his physical assessment test for the state department of corrections and he PASSED!!! we were so excited he's on to step three which is the fingerprinting and background check. so to celebrate we got tickets to the quakes game and took Madison to her very first baseball game EVER! I was a little nervous when I agreed to take her because i wasn't sure she could handle it.


 Alot of ball park junk food helped keep her busy for the game

she even got to get up and meet tremor the mascot...she was nervous but i was proud of her for not freaking out. All in all she did FANTASTIC for her age and we had alot of fun making a memory as a family that night. And in case your were wondering where caleb was the whole time he got to go hang out with grammy while we went to the game.

# 34 Visit a farmers market

We visited the chino farmers market...there were alot more crafts then there were real fruit and vegetable stands but there was a live band, water melon eating contest, and dessert yum!

 they gave us a free flower to plant in our garden which always makes me happy.
 madison got to play with some hula hoops...i tried to get caleb too but all he wanted to do is run away from us the whole time we were there. I did learn one thing this year to remember for next year. Dont go when it first starts. Half the vendors were un-prepared for customers. So next year we will eat dinner and then go down to the farmers market to get dessert .
The Kids had snow cones which madison ate about half of and caleb couldnt stop eating. It was fun and a good way to get away from the T.V. for a while.

#88 Make your own window Clings

These were surprisingly easy and alot of fun. we made a few flowers and then i let madison go crazy with the colors and she made one big mess of colors but she was super proud of it and thats all that matters to me.


It stuck on the window for a little while but not longer then like an hour.

#69 Make a campfire churro

Sunday night FHE included campfire churro's for dessert and after a few failures we finally made several that were good.




 Do you love Caleb's art shirt?? Madison almost fits them now so he has inherited them from his sister. I put these on them anytime they do any kind of art, have a crazy food that could stain, or do something that could ruin their cloths I just throw it on them and let them go at whatever they are doing and I don't have to care about their clothes.

#12 Play Cherades, #25 Do FHE with anoher family, #44 Bring a friend to church, church activity, or FHE

we invited some friends and family over one night for FHE and Played charades and I have to say 15 adults playing charades with a 3 year old was hysterical. all the adults really got into it and Madison was laughing so hard I thought she was going to fall out of the chair.
 Kelly was an Angry Driver

Mardele was waking a line
 
Even my grandma got in on it and did a great job
we all had a great time that night and a bunch of people said the game was too short and we needed more words to keep playing

# 74 visit amy's farm & # 33 Watcha cow/goat get milked

 Grabbing a snack before we head out on the tour at amy's farm.

 Picked some cilantro and got to taste it fresh right off the plant
 Caleb was totally into feeding the ducks and chatting them up.

 Just me and my kiddies...on a super super hot day...too bad Caleb is stubborn and wont wear a hat
 Then we watched a coo get milked and I even milked the cow. Caleb was willing to touch the teet after I did and Madison wouldn't get anywhere near it.
 after we were done with our tour we went out in the garden and did some volunteering.

 Madison helped them pull up a whole row of weeds that had taken over a section they needed for planting and the boys were really helpful to her, kept her on track, and were so kind to her.

#51 & 52 Fly a kite and make a kite to fly



 Making the homemade kite was quite a challenge but I found a cool tutorial online that walked me though it step by step. After we made the kite we went out and flew our kite. it was decently successful.
