Eastern Idaho State Fair..

WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE FAIR?

The FOOD, Entertainment, Animals, RIDES, watching drunk people, FOOD, Music, ART, THE PEOPLE, HYPNOTISTS, creepy Carni's, but most importantly the FOOD.

Honestly, what is there not to love? We go every year, and every year we have so much fun. Here are some of the highlights!

Finley & Food go hand in hand, so I'm guessing that was her favorite part! She also loved all of the noise and colors.

Gabe kept asking, "why do they call it a Tiger Ear, and not a Saber Tooth Tiger?" He's such a crack up! He kept telling us that he wished we could live at the fair, so that we could have this much fun everyday. So Sweet!

Chandler's Favorite part was eating, and watching a girl sing Hannah Montana songs. She was in Heaven!

My Favorite was the FOOD, of coarse! Life is a Smorgasbord, you gotta try everything!

Food, was also Chris's favorite part, and watching the kids have so much fun. Ahhh, what a sweet dad!

We chose the pig to win, and he came in dead last!

A funny story about the picture Of Annie, is that we asked if she was going to perform, or already had, and she said, "no! I just came dressed up, but I can perform for you if you'd like!" I wish I got it on camera. She broke out into "The Sun Will Come Out...Tomorrow". She had the cutest little lisp. "HOW STRANGE", but it wouldn't be the fair if it were any other way. Chandler was in love with her, so I had to take a picture.

Finley wasn't sure about the animals, but the others two had so much fun feeding them, and getting rammed for more food.

Excuse my cotton Candy teeth, but Check out my HOT DATE! Going to the fair reminds me of when we dated, I love it!

Until next year.... I will be dreaming of you, and all of your sweet goodness!

Renfroe Rugrats

We got to watch these little Rugrats for an entire weekend at the beginning of the month. My kids were in heaven! We planned a whole lot of fun things, including the Renfroe children favorites, and had such a good time together.

The first night we went to the Drive In movies.It was only $10.00 a car load and they were playing, "Aliens in the Attic", & "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs". PERFECT! The kids unanimously agreed that "Aliens in the Attic" was their favorite! They really did laugh through the entire movie, and for the rest of the weekend they retold their favorite parts. The disturbing picture above is their attempt at posing like an alien.

The next day, we spent the morning up at their great grandparents house. They all had so much fun exploring, chasing chickens, playing in the dirt, and they even helped build a tire swing. (which occupied them for a few hours alone!)

They did this for so long that Truman's eyes were rolling to the back of his head. See Hilarious video below!

After we were done at Grandma's, we went home, got cleaned up, ate lunch, and headed to Blast Off! I'm pretty sure, that this is quite possibly the Renfroe kids favorite place in all of Idaho!

They were all so tuckered out from playing so hard. After dinner I didn't hear a peep, so I went to check on them, and they were all sound asleep.

Luckily, our church didn't start until 1:00 the next day. It was Fast Sunday, and Truman decided before he came, that he was going to fast now that he was eight. He did so well, and set such a good example for the other children. I know how hard it was for him, but I was so proud that he made such an important decision.

The kids all got along great, and had such a good time with each other,(Bribing with Nintendo time helped!) and Mollie and Finley were inseparable. They played tea set for hours and had to be right by each other every second. Mollie loved bossing Finley like a little mother hen. She would say, "no baby" to just about everything Finley did, it was too cute.

Bec, you and Allen are such good parents, & have such great kids. We had so much fun with them, & love them so much. Thank you for letting us spoil them for the weekend!
