Fair Time!

One of our favorite things in the summer to do as a family is go to Fairs. I feel like my summer isn't complete unless we hit a couple fairs. I guess it really started when Brock and I started hanging out in college and he was riding bulls. I went to a lot of rodeos/fairs to watch him ride. That continued through our first year of marriage and then he quit riding when we had Kamden. This summer we got to attend 2 fairs and we all had a great time eating the good food, riding rides (blowing our money :) ) being together as a family and riding some mechanical bulls!!

The girls loved petting the sheep. Emma was the one that was most excited. Aspen kept saying "its trying to eat me mommy" After it nibbled her shirt she didn't want to get to close.My moms favorite part are the animals. Here is Mamaw with Kamden and Aspen and the lovely cows!Brock ended up running the mechanical bull one night at our local fair. He knows the guy that owns this company. Actually we did a little bit of it when we were first married for him and he found out Brock lived up here so he gave Brock a call. I think Brock really enjoyed running it for the night. The girls were so excited to go see daddy. Aspen couldn't wait to get on and then she got a little nervous, then it started moving........And she got scared!Kamden had Aspen try it out first, like she always does. After she saw how scared she got Kamden opted to just pet the bull and help daddy run it. Kamden and Aspen behind her, on the swings at the Western Idaho Fair in Boise.Brock and the girls on the Tug Boat, this one made Aspen a little nervous but I think she still enjoyed herself.Here is the only thing we did not have to spend money on, these balloons that some clowns were making. The girls thought they were the coolest things and so did I because they were FREE and made them happy!!

1 month old!

Cash is 1 month old today. In some ways it has gone fast and others not so much, such as me remembering when I slept more than 3 hours straight. Here are a couple pictures of him I took today. The biggest thing we are still working on is his sleep at night. Still not so good but in the day he is usually pretty good so I am thankful for that. The other day he started cooing. He still has to work so hard to get the sound out but it is pretty cute. Kamden loves it, she gets so excited and says "Mom, Cash keeps trying to talk to me". I love to see the excitment on her face. I think he looks like a little man in this picture. What a face I caught him doing!

Pictures of my Girls

Since I am adjusting to a new schedule and don't have as much time to write as I used to, I thought I would at least post pictures I have of the girls from the past 2 months. Bandaids(or as Aspen calls them head bands) make everything better!This is our crazy daughter. I took off her shirt after lunch because she got it so dirty and as I followed her up the stairs to get a new shirt she did this. She thought she was so funny, I have no idea where she learned this. She is always doing random things like this that always makes us laugh. Hopefully though she will not do this in public to other people. :) Daddy and his girls!Here is Kamden selling cupcakes at her teachers yardsale. We helped her teacher out at a bake sale and yard sale to help benefit her sons medical bills. Kamden was so excited to go sell cupcakes and when we got there she was just finding all sorts of treasures, as you can see from her hat and glasses!

Update of Cash!

I am so sorry it has been a while since I have blogged. I am just trying to get through each day as a functioning mother. A lot of people told me that having the third kid is the real adjustment and after that it gets easier. Well I can tell you I don't think I am going to find out if that is true. All I know is they were right about it being tough. Three children is definitely an adjustment. Hopefully each day will get better. I have so many posts that I would like to post but it is finding time to get on the computer that is hard. I did promise my family though I would post a lot of updates of Cash for them to see since they change so fast when they are little. He is now 3 weeks old. Most of the pictures were from a week ago. He has been a pretty good baby so far, THANK GOODNESS. My mom would say "It's hard work being a baby"!!Daddy and Cash sound asleep. This is Brocks favorite thing when they are this tiny, that they just will lay and sleep in your arms.
We never know what Aspen is up to when we are not around. Poor Cash, as you can see she squeezed a doll in with him while in his car seat. Aspen just loves Cash but sometimes it is just a little too much!!
