Fair = End of Summer

We and some friends took our sweet kids to the fair to ride the rides. Barrie bought a cow (MOO) and a pig (OINK) at the 4-H auction. Our freezer will be full for some time ... YUM!

Daddies are the greatest

Jackson and his Daddy

Go Speed Racer!

I think Mama's more excited than the kids to ride the blue dino.

We love our little darlins'

Jackson threw the baseball 5 MILES AN HOUR!

J's Space

I finally finished painting Jackson's room! It is so much better than the wallpaper that was up before. And, the color scheme goes with all the baseball plaques.

Bubba! This one's for Aunt Wanda, Uncle Wilson, and Marie! (Bubba has been my buddy since I was little ... now, he has a new buddy).

Okay, now we'll show you downstairs. Follow Jackson!

This is Jackson's 'study spot' in the den. I tried to brighten it up by adding Eric Carle prints. He seems to love it, which is what I was going for :)

Soaking up Summer Vacation ...

... what's left of it, anyway!

We went to the Holy Rosary carnival, jumped in the bounce house, and enjoyed some delicious junk food!

Here are our geese all grown up.

Anna and Barrie went to the Sidney fair to see Dierks Bentley in concert. We were five feet away from the stage ... small town fairs are the best.

Manly men ... the Balsam Block Party planners.

Balsam residents begin to arrive ... that is the back of our house.

Great neighbors, great times!

Hanging out by the dessert end of the table. Like Mama, like son.

Jackson enjoying a visit with his best girl!

Visiting the Dentist

Jackson had his first 'real' dental appointment on Monday. He LOVED his hygienist but wasn't too sure about his dentist ... just kidding, Dr. Barrie!

Kristi preps the patient.

All set for a cleaning with Bre!

Counting teeth.
