2008 Washington county fair

Here are some pictures from out trip to the washington county fair. We go several times during the 4 days as we just live one block from the fair grounds and admission is free. The kids had fun. Travis only went for a couple hours on one evening after we found the "video game" booth. We watched the hypnosis show and also listened to some music a couple nights. Christina and Scott went on the scrambler with me but we did not get any good pictures. You sure can spend alot of money really fast at the fair.

More camping

Jeff had his girlfriend come camping with us. They are such a cute couple. The boys were able to talk the peacocks at the camp ground into trusting them. The peacocks woke us up each morning. I have to admit as pretty as they are they are not my favorite bird at 5am...

Camping and fishing

We went camping on the 4th weekend to a local campground. It had a nice little trout pond and we had fun fishing. I caught the first fish of the trip and it was lots of fun. Actully Angela and I were fishing by ourselves waiting for the guys to finish playing fisbee golf. It was gross but fun at the same time fun and reminded me of allt he times fishing as a child. I really did enjoy it and especially with using powerbait instead of worms. ;O) The boys caught and ate 3 crawdads.. That is the first time for my boys. They did bring a friend along and he knew a little more about it then them. I remember catching crawdads at camp alpine at girls camp each summer and eating them too.

4th of July.

We went to a local park for watch the fireworks this summer. The kids had alot of fun. I took Hadley and Madilyn with us as Marylynn was not feeling good that night. My friend Angela and her famiy came along too.

I had my 41st birthday this year May 2nd. I got my favorite cake ... cheesecake. Yeah. I have been very busy as I have taken a 2nd job since Chris has been off work for over 3 months. I am working hard to build up more time in my pracitce. But am working at Bi- mart while I am working on it. The kids have adjusted well and Chris is being very supportive being mister mom.

Travis turns 13. A new teenager in the house!

Travis's B-day was the end of april. We had cake as a family and then a couple week later he had a friend party. I had found those plastic bubble things we use to play with when we were little at the store and the kids had lots of fun playing with them. They then broke into a game of football at the church across the street. It was great to see a group of kids playing outside together and the weather was great for it.

It has been a busy few months for scouts with scott. He participated in his last pinewood derby this spring. Infact it is the last one for are whole family. Kinda sad. Scott also earned his webelos last Tuesday and it is the last badge in cubscouts. He will be a full fledge boy scout in just a couple months.
