State Fair!!





 Pony Rides
 They had a section of the fair that was for younger kids.  They were able to act like they were helping out on the farm.  They got to pretend that they planted seeds, pick produce, collect chicken eggs, brush a sheep, and milk a cow.  Once they collected everything and do their "chores", they got a paper dollar bill that they were able to spend at the farm country store to buy something.  They could choose from crackers, milk, an apple, etc.  It was really cute and fun.  Wyatt also made a mask that looked like a pig.  It was a fun activity.


On Monday Doug, Wyatt and I went up to the State Fair and met up with my parents, my Uncle Scott, 2 of my sisters and all of the cousins.  It was really fun.  Wyatt and his cousin Brogan had a blast hanging out.  They checked out the animals, looked at the produce that had been entered, had pizza for dinner, went on a few rides, watched a magic/science show, went to the Little Hands on the Farm, etc.  It was a lot of fun.  This is a tradition my parents have been doing for years.  They use to take the grand kids themselves when there were a couple of them but now we all got to go up and hang out.  It was a fun day!!

Antelope Island Stampede!!

 Kite Festival.

Playing with bubbles.

Recently Wyatt and I went out to Antelope Island for something called a Stampede.  They had a kite flying festival going on, BMX bikers teaching other kids how to do some stunts off of a jump, pie eating contests, inflatable toys for the kids to play on, a tractor pulling a train behind it that Wyatt rode in, someone was blowing bubbles with long sticks and rope which was pretty cool, etc.  They had quite a few activities to do.  Wyatt was able to make his own kite which flew really well.  The kites that people were flying were really neat as well.  They had frogs, a kite that looked like Levi pants and boots, a bright yellow octopus, one that looked like a dinosaur, etc.  There were quite a few different types of kites.  It was fun to watch.  One gentleman even let Wyatt take a try at flying a kite.  He was a little nervous but enjoyed it.  Apparently they have been doing the stampede for 7 years.  It was a fun afternoon activity.

Our Hunting Cats!!



Here are some funny photos of our cats.  Lately we have had so many flies in our house.  Our cats hunt them down and eat them which is very helpful.  Lately our cat that has the poofy tail (Puffball) has climbed up to the top part of the window by himself to track down flies.  We had to put the other cat (Jinks) up their but he was fine with it once he was up there.  It is hilarious to watch the cats track down the flies.  They jump up in the air so high and swat at the windows.  It is so funny to watch but it is very helpful at the same time.

Wyatt Sleeping!!

This is how I found Wyatt sleeping one morning.  He was out cold and was posed like this when I saw him.  I had to take a photo.  So cute!!
