Going To The Movies!

So three weeks ago (I know I am late posting this), Oliver and I were in the grocery store after taking Caleb and Elton to school when my phone rang. When I answered I heard "Hello, is this Shelley Bonnes?". When I answered yes I heard "This is name of local radio announcer. Do you know why I am calling you?" My response was that I hoped I had won something. I was right and I won their Summer Showcase giveaway. I won $3000 dollars in Cinema Cash! You can imagine my shock. Here I was standing in the middle of the grocery store not wanting to freak out and also thinking that I was live on the radio! My one memorable comment that I made was after they told me to consider this their stimulus package to me. I have to preface this by saying that the radio station is our local conservative talk radio station. This was my opportunity so I told them how I appreciated their stimulus package alot more than Obama's. This is the clip that you now here them playing over and over on the radio! This means many family outings and date nights to the movies!! It also means that the boys can enjoy movie treats from the concession stand as the cinema cash is good for movies or concessions. They are totally excited and enjoyed a big bucket of popcorn at their first movie with our winnings. The pictures above show what $3000 of cinema cash looks like.

Oliver's First Haircut

Oliver had his first haircut today! He is the first baby in the house to need a haircut before the age of 2. Caleb and Elton were pretty much bald at this stage of the game. He was a little restless, but did excellent for his first time. I guess he has seen how his brothers get a sucker when they are done their haircuts and was eager for one too!

New Accessory?

Poor Mimi! Mimi was spayed on Wednesday and now has to wear this lovely cone for 10-14 days until her stitches come out. She doesn't like it too much and I would have to say the bow she wore to the fair was much cuter. I don't think she will be too upset whe she gets to have it taken off.

County Fair 4-H Dog Show

Yesterday was Caleb & Mimi's big day at the fair. They had to be there bright and early (before 8am) and they were actually the first one's called into the show ring with the judge. Caleb listened very well and paid close attention to the judge. The judge even wrote that on their evaluation and said what a cute pair they were! Because Caleb is a Cloverbud this year he was considered a participant and was not judged on a competitive level. This was a great way for him and Mimi to get started and it will be interesting to see how they grow together in the next couple of years. Mimi was fluffed and buffed and seemed to enjoy the attention and Caleb was very happy with the ribbons they received!

The Discovery Center & Zoo

Last Saturday we decided to drive to Boise for the day and check out the Discovery Center. We didn't realize until we got there that the zoo was close by so we decided to check it out too. We spent about 4 1/2 hours checking everything out. We then went and had dinner at a wonderful restaurant "Tucanos Brazilian Grill" before we headed back. We had a great day and everyone was very tired!
