2010 PRCA Mutton Buster 1st Place Rider

That is what the trophy from the rodeo says. Way to go Lexi!!!

Spoiled Rotten

My kids have gotten to do so much this summer. Yesterday we went to the water slides braving the cold weather. It was freezing, but the kids had a blast anyway. It did get a little warmer in the afternoon. My mom took Diesel for the day and then the girls joined him there after lunch. It was just a little too cold for Karlee and Hallie. After the girl lifeguard, made Hallie and Karlee get out of the hot tub (no kids under the age of 6), Karlee never quite recovered. After the girls left I could ride the big rides with the older girls and we had a great time.

A fair is a veritable smorgasbord orgasbord orgasbord

I can't not post about the fair! It was another great week. A good balance between working there and playing there. On Friday we went on the rides and we definitely got our moneys worth. We didn't get home until 11:00 that night. I questioned my parenting skills as I rode on the ferris wheel and saw how poorly it was put together. Saw some interesting people, ate some yummy onion rings, and ran into a million people I haven't seen for a long time. Good times.

Mutton Bustin

Hunter and Lexi have experienced something new at this year's fair. I'm not sure if they love it or hate it. They get up crying and then beg to do it again. Hunter is first then Lexi.

SHOES, SHOES, SHOES!!!!

I have been looking for sandals or any cute shoes for that matter for about a year now. The mall's shoe options are few and far between. I decided to go online and look everywhere and anywhere and lo and behold I was led to boscovs.com I love it. Cutest sandals and wedges ever and for great prices. Happy shopping.

The tractor show

The much awaited tractor show was last week. We live so close to Berthusen Park that every time we drive by the kids mention the tractor show and then want to know how much longer. The only reason they love it so much is for the candy scramble in the hay and my mom's espresso has a cherry granita to die for. We cleaned up this year with the scramble. They throw in tokens for prizes and we walked away with four toy tractors, 2 bags of kettle corn, donuts, magnets, stuffed animal, bubble wand, rubber duckie, hackie sack, and a t-shirt. Next is the fair and we love the fair. It is hard to believe that school is just around the corner.
