Utah State Fair

The end of the world may come I am showing pictures from today. Today we went to the state fair. I had never been to it here. Last fair I remember attending was the Hookstown fair years and years ago, the ward had a both to earn money, but that has all gone away, well I am sure that Hookstown is still there and the fair too for that matter. The fair sure has gotten expensive over the years. It was fun to get out and see "fair" stuff. I always enjoy the animals and booths, really it is just the food I want. I did not get any funnel cake so I just may be making some tomorrow to eat. Yummy!
Look at the cute dancing sheep and pig!

Labor Day

On Labor day we pick up Mom and Dad and went to Antelope Island for the day. We got to see the bison and antelope.
Here is Grandpa and Tahlia.
Here we are watching the "silent glider" going by. The guys doing it were from New York. Long way to come to fly a glider if you ask me.

These were too funny not to share. I love it. These two boys are too cute for words and even though they can drive me crazy sometimes I sure so love them. It is kinda crazy that one could have such contrast in feeling for one person. They sure do crack me up!

Last Days of Summer!

I love summer time. I love the freedom from coats and shoes. I love to cool off in water and lay in the sun to warm up. I have decided to spare my neighbors, I just let the boys play in the water on warm days and enjoy watching them. Ransom is just starting to get the hang of playing in the pool and now it is time to put it away. I let them play on one of the last warm days we had about 2 weeks ago. So fun to bake in the sun. We made cereal necklaces and I guess Ransom was Very hungry!
Ransom and his trike. He loves to sit and run his legs. I just love to watch him do it.
Ashton loves to bounce down the sidewalk.
Tahlia just loves to watch them and laugh at them. It is so fun!
To bad that summer is coming to a close and soon it will be snowing soon and I will have to get all bundled up to shovel mountains of snow from the driveway again. Wow, that was a depressing thought! Oh, I love summer, I love summer, I love summer!

Labor Day Weekend!

I forgot I had these pictures. I am not known to take tons of pictures but here are a couple of the fun night. We "camped" in the yard again and this time we invited Angie, Justin, Jake and Joey. I had a lot of fun and so did the kids. I sure hope everyone else did! John did a dutch oven dinner for us and it was awesome. After it got dark John built a fire and we did smores with the kids. They loved it! They thought that it was so much fun to have friends sleep over and to play with.
Jake fell asleep before it got dark. I guess he did not have too much fun.

Are there enough marshmallows there, guys?

Last One!

Are you tired of all my babbling yet. Well this will be the last one for a bit and I will pronounce myself caught up on blogging and you will be caught up on our lives.
Tahlia rolled over for the first time on Tuesday and I missed it all three times. Why is that they only do it when we walk away to get the camera or because we got bored waiting for it to happen again. Well, here I left her on her back and now she is on her tummy screaming. Imagine that. I keep telling her that before too much longer she will love being on her tummy and crawling around. Hard to believe she will be crawling so soon. On Tuesday I went with some friends to the Dino Park. This time it was $2 Tuesday. Hard to believe that I would have had to pay $18 to get in regularly. It is still fun. They still love the same activities.
Every time Ashton sees this shark he tells me "This is the shark from Nemo. How do I know because it is the same color." He "is a tricky Ashton."
Ashton always says the funniest things last week there was a little one here that was sad when his Mom left and he said "I wish he would stop all the crying, cause I can't handle all the drama." As he rolls his eyes, of course. Later I was repeating it to John and John asked "where did you learn that?" and Ashton responds "from Mommy!" Great I guess that everything that you say in front of little ones is free for interpretation. Unless it is Ransom! I decided that is one nice thing about him not talking is that he does not usually talk back to me!

Mirror Lake

On Saturday we took the kids to Mirrior Lake to let them fish and do a dutch oven dinner. It was a lot of fun to get out for a bit and let the kids do what they love, spending time with their Dad and I got to do what I wanted read and eat. There were few bites on Saturday so they did not get anything.
On the way up to Mirrior Lake we stopped at the Provo Falls. It gets pretty chilly even this time of year it is high up in the Unitas.
Tahlia fell asleep just before dinner. Too bad she couldn't enjoy it.

Ransom was so excited to find a hat like his dad had and wear his little red coat. He still loves that thing. Here is our great feast. It was a lot of fun to get out with the kids and I hope to continue doing fun things with them.

Another first

Last Thursday was the first time that we fed Tahlia rice cereal. John fed it to her and she did a great job. She seemed to have liked it. I still can not believe that she has gotten so big so fast. Now she does not do as well, beginners luck I guess. After that I left I left to play Bunco with a friend and all though I did not get Bunco even once it was still pretty fun. I like games if the rules are simple and there is not strategy involved. I don't want to think to hard about something, that takes all the fun out of it for me. I guess no beginners luck for me. Oh well!
