2010 North Idaho Fair

One of my very favorite events of the year is the Fair. The kids count down the days and this year did not disappoint! Grandma Vickie and I usually get there right after lunch, then Papa, Daddy, Grandma Deb & Tom come when they are done working for the day. It was such fun!

Rylee & Paul got to ride a camel, then a pony, then feed some goats, cows, and a camel. We went through all of the exhibits, rode the rides (the kids were big enough to go on some of the bigger rides this year, so Rob went with them), eat fair food, watch a little motocross and go home EXHAUSTED!

Fair Measurements

Last year at the fair, I decided to take the kiddos pictures by the measurement charts...these are from last night! I am still amazed at how big the kids are getting!

Fair 2005

I was cleaning out my work computer and came across these pictures from the 2005 fair. Thought I would share them with you since it's fair week! This was Rylee's 1st Fair. My camera was dead (forgot to check that before I left home) and these pictures were taken by Grandma Deb! They are a little blurry, but you can still tell how cute miss Rylee is! :)

The Borders

Making pizza

Grandma Vickie taught the kiddos how to make mini pizzas last weekend at the lake.

YUMMY! :)

Diamond Lake - August 14-15

The weather was a little chilly with lots of wind, so instead of playing in the water, we build a sand castle...here is Grandma Vickie with the kiddos me with the kiddos

Jessanne, Arnie, Sara and Mary came out for the day on Sunday. The weather was a lot nicer. We had fun digging in the sand

Paul & Rob went fishing on the river on Saturday and Sunday morning and came home with pike. Here is Paul holding one of them.

Ethan's Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese

Last week, we celebrated Ethan's birthday at Chuck E Cheese. All of the kids had a blast!!! Here is Paul with Chuck E Jimmy playing the games (I think he had more fun than the kids)
