At Least Five Hundred...

YUMMY TREATS!
My two favorite kinds from Disneyland- Chocolate Nut and Tiger Butter! I do have to wonder though- If Katelyn had not requested fudge as well, would he have gone to Downtown Disney just for me? I'd like to think he still would! Thanks Wes! I'll enjoy each piece. Hopefully, this will last until I go myself.
A Week of the Fair
Ryan and Katelyn had their fill of Farm Bureau hot dogs- all week. Ryan was playing shy at the time of these photos.
Here they are on the dragon coaster. (Ryan is still being camera shy!) We only allow a few rides at the fair. First of all they are way expensive @ $3.00 a ride each kid. Second, they are way dirty and pretty scary looking- they get hauled in on semi trucks and put up in the matter of a few hours. How safe can they really be??? AND- have you seen the characters that operate the rides????
Here they come around the corner...
Notice anything strange??? Where did the glasses go????
Here they are! The guy operating the ride was less than happy to get them for us...we had to ask twice.
Glasses recovered, Katelyn and Ryan pose for a picture with Warren. Doesn't he look happy to be out in the heat???? Dax was with his dad-we didn't see him all day.
Here's Hunter- working in the lamb barn. As the younger kids came back with their lambs from the auction- Hunter helped put lambs back in pens and put ribbons back up on the banner.
We needed a few pictures of Hunter with his lamb for his record book. He did not want his picture taken. I kept taking pictures until he smiled- (It took Wes threatening the loss of his license to get him to smile!) Before long, Hunter actioned his lamb- we ate dinner and went home early. Another year at the fair over! Boy are we tired!

Today was a special day...
Dad's favorite show and Katelyn's too! Can we watch it all tonight?
Just Another House Update~
Just a close-up of the wood grain.

Finish Work Before Painting
The closets are ready for paint too! It's so close to being finished- it just seems to be getting slower! Does that even make any sense????

We Saw the Sign!
A little oops happened when they put the water meter in last week. The phone company only marked one of the phone lines- the second was cut while digging for the meters. Everyone south of our home was without a phone for awhile-good thing most people have cell phones!

Summer Picnic
A dragonfly decided to be Paul's new best friend. It stuck with him for quite awhile. (Paul is Tina's husband!)
Jake and his sweet guitar. Ryan wants one just like it when he grows up. Oh joy! Good thing we sound proofed the walls in the master bedroom!

Last Day of Swim Lessons
Lovely, isn't it? Don't you wish your kids could throw a fit like this?
...And these are the super sweet goggles that they were fighting over. WOW! I wish I could wear those!
This is their friend Mackenzie celebrating when she made it across the pool pretty much all by herself. Great job girl!
Here is Katelyn climbing the slide- If I hadn't filled my memory card at that point, we'd have pictures of her actually going down the slide! There's always next year. Katelyn thinks that the swimming pool should be open all year. I'll bet she'd change her mind come October!
