Chubby

Sorry Ella, but it's just too cute so we have to get a picture of all your rolls. You look like a little sumo wrestler. Love,

Your mom

If I post this cute picture of you sleeping does that make everything better?

So, I finally decided that I couldn't handle the other chair anymore. The color just clashed too much with our other furniture, so we sold that chair on KSL. We were going to hold off on getting another one and see if we really needed a rocking chair. Well.........that night Ella was sick with a cold and so I was up with her almost all night because she was needing to be held upright to breathe. Needless to say, Cary went and picked up the chair we had been looking at, the next morning.

Sunday, Sunday

Last weekend, Nick and Tiffany decided they wanted to cook lunch for all of us.

So on Sunday we all headed to Jesse's house.

Thankfully, one of Jesse's housemates has a 4 yr old son that visits on the weekends, so our boys had toys to play with.

I can't NOT have pictures of Ella. :-)

She's such a cute little chunk

Watching us eat

Kenneth dropped by, since he was going to be staying with us that night

and then go to the fair with me the next day to watch the kids.

Good food, good company, good times.

State Fair (photo overload)

Yesterday was the Holstein show at the state fair.

Christian "watching the cows"

You know, sometimes I'm glad that I get to show up on show day and take pictures instead of being in the barn for 4-5 days with little sleep and lots of hard work.

Thank heavens Kenneth came in to watch my kids for me!

Chandra and Ben hard at work

I have LOTS of pictures of cows, I'm guessing no one wants to see all of them except for dad and Ben? ;-)

Someone's little boy found a puddle and was stomping in it.

It was even made MORE fun when he found his reflection in the window.

But he always made sure to stop and clap when everyone else was. "Yay!"

Cows behinds, I have lots more of those pictures too.

The motley crew :-)

It was cold right then. In typical Utah weather fashion, it was really hot and sunny earlier in the day, rainy, windy and freezing by the end.

Crystal was tired. :-) I remember those days and thinking that the wood chips looked so soft and comfy to lay in, or if I could just go lay on a cow.

After the show is over, they have an ice cream social and all the dairy people can get in free. Considering we had to run in the wind and rain to get there, ice cream wasn't sounding all that great. Jesse still stocked up on Creamies and Fat Boy's to take for snacks at work. :-) (He took a break from work to come to the ice cream social with us) ha.

After an extremely long day, we went out to eat.

and Cary came too.

Unfortunately, for Ben, Dad, and Crystal, they had to go back to the show, load up the truck and trailer at 9:00 (they don't let you enter the fairgrounds to pack up until 9:00 PM) and then they had a 4-5 hr drive back home.

Thanks Ken!

Couldn't have done it without you.....I probably would have tried, given up around noon, packed up, and gone home.

I'm hoping...

to be able to update later. It's been a couple of crazy busy days and we have a park meet-up this morning.

Sorry!

Before Blogger/ Blogspot, there was Xanga.....
If you are subscribed to this blog, there is a chance that you are getting tons of updates from me. SORRY! I'm currently in the process of transfering all of my old xanga posts over here so that. 1. they will all be the same spot. 2. I want to delete the xanga, but not lose all that I wrote about, considering alot happened in that time, (going to school, getting married, pregnant, having a baby, etc....) 3. I eventually want to make a blog book, so that I never need print another picture or have a picture album again. Amen. ;-)
So anyway, I'm still in the process and still have pictures to transfer too....does this make me pathetic? :-) Probably.
I don't care though.
Now, if there were only a way to transfer all the comments!

So someday when you are incredibly bored looking for a good time down memory lane, go check out my archives. :-)
