The last of the fair memories...

Just a posting with the left over fair pictures that didn't fall into any particular category but are fun to see!

Along with the fun fair time comes fun family time....seeing grandma and papa every day(we had a little mini photo shoot with grandma), making visits to the lost and found to see great grandma, and riding around on the "fair mobile" with who ever would take them!!

Clay's girls....our girls

So Kelsey and Madison ended the fair in style this year....they got escorted through the carnival by a Lynden Police officer and a security guard! They happened to be at the right place at the right time, and enjoyed some time with Clay Walker's daughters, MaClay and Skylor! The girls came off the bus and had some time before their dad went on stage so they were headed out to go on some rides. They were being escorted by a girl named Jessica, whom I realize now is Clay's girlfriend(I had to do some research on the internet to put all the pieces together). My dad offered for Kelsey and Madison to go with them and the Walker girls were very excited to have some company! So after a bit, I caught up with them and got a couple of pictures and joined them on the bumper cars. It was a lot of fun and added some short lived excitement to our day.

Fun Fair!

We had so much fun at the fair! Really glad it is over....but I am thankful for the memories and fun with the kids!! So you see, with my dad being the fair manager we get very spoiled, and not only that, this year Brian catered for the entertainers so we had the fun of being back stage among the frenzy of the entertainers coming and going. There was a large motor home for us to use as well, which made it nice to stop and take a break. We had some fun highlights throughout the week which I will share throughout the blog. But to start with, here are the girlies enjoying their first day of rides....







So for my father in law's sake and Brian's, the kids and I got really excited for the Charlie Daniels Band Concert! O.K. "really excited" might be an overstatement, but we were supportive and went along to the meet and greet to meet Charlie Daniels , got his autograph and took pictures. Then we went to the show! We had a lot of fun watching Brian get so psyched up about it....he even got the production managers phone number to set up for his dad and them to go fishing sometime...Ha ha, it'd be cool if it happened, but unlikely!

More to come....

I finally did it...

I was so attached to this chunk of long hair on Daisy's head that I found it difficult to bring her in for her first hair cut.....but I finally did it! She was such a good girl and I must say she looks pretty cute! I brought all 3 girls in on Tuesday to have a little pampering done. So this being Daisy's first haircut I took a bunch of pictures.....thanks Brandi for "doing up" the girls!

Miss Madie went first...just a trim, but they get to have their hair curled and done up after the cut!

TA DA! What'cha think everyone?

Princess Kelsey takes a turn...

Church & Grass

How goes it everyone? It's hard to believe we are only weeks away from the beginning of the new school year! It feels good to say that I managed to get the school shopping accomplished in the last two days....the rest of this month could possibly be the craziest month ever! Almost two weeks ago, Jake and Kelsey attended, for the first time....Church Camp! They were gone for three days....they had a lot of fun! On the second day they went to the water slides and my sis and law and I joined them! Now that was fun....so fun Brian and I took the three older kids there this past Friday! So from camp they learned some songs with motions that they performed for the congregation at church the Sunday following their return. Jake ended up at a different service, so I did not get pictures of him. However, I did get pictures of him helping dad mow the yard yesterday! It was quite the chore for the young lad, but he persevered and got 'er done! We have had a busy but nice weekend with the kids....there aren't many left before they are back to it! Hope all is well with everyone!

The girl in all the pictures with Kelsey is one of her girlfriends, Caitlyn, from school who happens to go to the same church and they got to bunk together at camp.




It's pretty fun to have figured out where Kelsey's comfort zone is.....on stage....performing in front of an audience!

Push it Jake...

You can do it....

Just a little further...

Ha...Ha...he made it...barely!

good thing his sisters were standing by to wipe the grass off his back!!
