We love the Fair!

We love the Eastern Idaho State Fair! Every year we spend a small fortune just to pay to get in the gate and buy a $4.00 hamburger! We do this several times in one week! I tease Kent that the money we spend at the fair all week could have paid for a cruise! But it's all about the food at the fair. We have to spend several days there because we can't eat it all in one day! We took the kids there yesterday (Labor Day) which was a very busy day to go but it was the only day we could all go together. Then Ashley, Kent and I took Grandma and Grandpa Lott today for a few hours. Hmm, it's only Tuesday. I'm betting we'll be back there again before the week is over!

First Day of School!

I'm not sure what happened but all of sudden summer was over and the kids were back in school! Ashley is in her second year at Utah State University, Brandon is a junior at Bonneville High School, Tyler is in the 7th grade at Rocky Mountain Middle School and Sara is in the 5th grade at Cloverdale Elementary. To be honest, I love this time of year. I love getting back on a schedule, having a set bedtime, having a clean house until 3:00 and the prospect of Fall weather just around the corner. Happy Back to School everyone!
Brandon had lots of school spirit on the first day! (He's in student council)
Tyler was not so sure he was excited about school! (Or maybe he just didn't want his picture taken)
Sara was very excited about the first day of school and insisted that dad give her a ride to school in the dune buggy!
