Fun at the Fair

We made a quick trip up to Othello, WA to see the Keele family and hit the Adam's County Fair which they are big supporters and participators of. Sam had a BLAST, and really we all did. It was the perfect size, not to big, but with plenty of fun rides, exhibits, activities, and FOOD! I had my fair share of funnel cake, elephant ears, spoon tacos, and roasted chicken to last me until next fair season.

Ryker, Cole, Sam

You have to enlarge this one - the look on his face is priceless, and it was like this the entire time!

Carnival Rides

Big Ryan was in a Wild Cow ride at the rodeo the first night and sang the second day we were there, so we cheered our little hearts out for him. Thank you Keele family for the fun weekend it was worth the drive anytime!

The biggest hit of by far was the Tractor Pull! Sam went above my expectations and made it into the 2nd round each time he participated. Its neat because the kids compete against themselves, trying to pull more and more weight 25 feet. Sam's cousin Cole pulled the most for any 4 year old almost 200 lbs! Seriously, but he's got a little size advantage over most other 4 year olds. Sam looked like such a little cowboy with his hat and boots - I love this look on him.



Face Painting - Bringing out the tiger in Sam

To start the week off right Jack had his immunizations, five total, and I think his face says exactly what he is feeling about that! He weighs 20.5 lbs and is 28.5 inches long, a shorty! He has nearly all of his teeth in, and is still Mr. get-into-everything! He love this little guy.

We head down to Utah this weekend for our niece's baptism, and then Shawn will be home on Sunday!!! Yea! Yea! Yea! We can hardly wait.
