It's Fair Time!!






Here we go! Space burgers! Larger than normal corn dogs and corn on the cobb! I LOOOOVE it! This year I decided to really get into the Fair Holiday Spirit and entered a couple of things into the arts and crafts division and the Home Economics division. First is the picture of the Boys in the cowboy gear. I took this picture a while ago and tried entering it into the fair last year but didn't have it "mounted" right. So this year it was entered successfully. The second picture I entered is of Savannah when she was a baby (obviously). I named it "First Light" I think she looks so angelic! The last picture is a picture of the cake I entered. You had to decorate a cake to the theme of the fair "Down Home". Funny story to this cake is entry time was between 9 am and 7 pm. I woke up early and started at 7:30 in the morning. With all the detail work I finished at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Plenty of time to get it in. So I loaded it up and had Katelin "watch" it on the trip into town. We got to the fair grounds and I opened up the back and Katelin had fallen asleep...my cake was her pillow! It was squished and all the frosting had been smeared. Poor Katelin looked like a poor puppy dog with frosting in her hair and all over her legs and arms. It was quite hilarious. So we rushed down to Walmart to try to find anything that would help salvage the poor cake. I did the best I could and entered it anyway as is. So we will see how that turns out. All in all it was fun and I can't wait to see how everything does.

We stopped by and visited the Wild Horse monument. While the kids tracked themselves us really steep path to see the horses Savannah and I stayed FAAAAAAR below to observe. Katelin took these pictures

We got home from camping. Washed all of the clothes and sleeping gear we used up at Ensign just in time for Kyle to pack the boys up and head up to the Ranch for another weekend of Cattle wrestling. The girls and I stayed at my mom's and spent Saturday morning soakin in the hot tub.

Well. That's about it for the last two months. We've been havin a blast and using every minute of summer to enjoy our free time! School starts in 3 weeks! We still have a lot planned for that time! We are heading to a Mariners game in Seattle tomorrow. The fair is another big event! It marks the 15th anniversary of our first date at the Rodeo! The boys are heading to Hawaii with Jodi! Yes you heard me right! My boys get to enjoy an all expense paid vaca to the island of dreams! They'll have so much fun! And then somewhere in between there we are squeezing in a trip to Silverwood! I Heart Summer!
