Stick Horse Competition

Rayna and Drew got to enter in a stick horse competition at the fair. Rayna rode on Cupcake and did great! They had to race around the poles in the arena and then go back as fast as they could. It was too cute! All the kids got prizes and Rayna ended up with a ribbon, a bag of candy, and a stuffed animal. She was so excited!!

Cooling Off

The thermometer at the fairgrounds said it was 109 degrees the day we were there. It was HOT! Thankfully they had some misting areas where you could cool off. Rayna, Brady, and Drew had so much fun playing in them and were absolutely soaking wet! But it cooled them off so that was good. And it didn't take very long for them to dry off!

Bull Riding

The entertainment at the fair that night was bull riding. Rayna was so excited to see real cowboys ride real bulls. She and Brady love riding his bull at home, so she thought it would be great to see the real thing.

The Carousel

Rayna got to go on her first carousel ride at the fair. She loved it! It was a great way to end our day at the fair.

The River

My mom and sister came and visited for the week. It was fair week so we had Monica's younger two boys a lot. Since it was well over 100 degrees several days, we spent one day at the river. It was so much fun. The kids loved playing in the water. Rayna had so much fun floating on her giraffe air mattress and Brady had fun floating around too. We can't wait to go back!

Our Big Boy

Brady has moved out of his high chair and is now sitting at the table with the rest of the family. What a big boy he is! He loves it! Especially since he wants to do everything that sister is doing!

Rayden's Birthday Party

We went to Rayden's 3rd birthday party last weekend. We all had fun. The kids loved their hats and were so excited to eat pizza and cake! It was a great time! Happy Birthday, Rayden!!
