Lava Hot Springs

we went to lava for the staple family reunion,

and had another weekend of four wheeling,

food and fun!

Lexi loved the slide off the side of the house

and susie's big human elastic thingy. dad did an

extraordinary job pulling us around

and since lexi got to go for a ride, there was

no telling scott no... so raymond jumped in to help out

now she's just showing off!

everytime cody would stop lexi would

do her cute sign language for "more" and cody

would give in, what a good dad!

what the elastic was really made for, if you haven't

seen one of these, you put 4 people in them and the 2 people

across from eachother run at the same time, then the next two...

shooting the others back across until someone flies out.

It's very entertaining to watch...

Lexi loved having madi and halli there. she loves

playing with them!!

COUNTY FAIR!!

this post is a little late... but oh well! we all had fun

at the fair this year... actually i think this year was

the most fun i have ever had at the fair! it is so

much fun to watch lexi doing things now, and loving them!

All the kids anxious for the parade to start!

everyone enjoyed the popsicles

andy was so funny, after anyone would

walk up and give him candy we would all say thanks,

and as they turned away andy would squirt him...

as ashley said its cute this year, annoying next year when

he's a little older.. or as in bumpas case almost 50 years older

and still squirting people in the parade!

our cowgirl

mom's pretty sure she's had enough candy...

so lets go to grandpa to open this taffy up!

the girls went on the train ride that we were sure they

would love... clearly we were wrong in both of their cases

lexi did love the carousel though, and went on it about 6

times! and she did later go on another kid ride with madi

and actually really loved it!

she liked the shades so dad just knew she "needed" them

our little family

lexi love love loves "yaya"

the barkers

nana helping the girls sing and dance with the bandstand

and yes this year was just WILD... we got some tat's!! :)

jacque and i did anyway, lexi picked her's out and once

we were up there she wasn't so hot on the idea of the

guy touching her!
i dont think that jacque has ever seen transformers...

but she sure got a decepticon on her ankle for andy's enjoyment!!

and we finished off the fun with daddy winning

lexi a stuffed animal!
