First Day of School

Well, here are the kids on the first day of school. We've taken pictures in front of this tree since we put the thing in 11 years ago. The kids had to leave at different times this year, so I didn't get a picture of them together. They each looked adorable and survived the first day. Becky had to switch classes a couple of times, but I think she'll do okay. Catie adjusted to Miss D's class alright and gets to go to Mrs. Bennett's class for 2 classes. Stephen is doing really well in Mrs. Price's class and gets to help others because he was there for reading last year. It's amazing how quickly they grow up! I have a high schooler (ARRRGGHH!!) which brings games, parades, homecoming dances, and PROM. Makes me swoon! lol

More Umatilla County Fair

The kids got to play "hurry up and wait" alot. Becky would have to get her lamb washed, prepped and such and then they said the had "nothing to do". Yeah right!! They got to explore the whole fair, spend time with friends, and even got to enjoy the carnival. I'm not sure what their favorite ride was, but these were a few that were talked about. Sitting in the trailer with their DS's were a highlight too. Even I got to have some fun riding the Zipper with Catie and enjoying the Kelly Pickler concert. All in all, I think we all survived Fair Week wonderfully and will be doing it again next year.

Umatilla County Fair

Here are my kids doing what they do best. Becky is showing her lamb Fuzzy Pickles with her nice plaid cover. Catie is babysitting Kinsley Dennis (who was only 3 weeks old and so precious) and Stephen is being the "strongest boy on the planet". We spent the whole week in Hermiston and survived the heat, the hail / rain / thunderstorm, and the fair. It was fun and we hope to do it next year depending on who does what with 4-H.
