We're going to Boise!!!!

So most of you know I go to Boise ALL the time (I've been 3 times in the last week), but this time we're having a family reunion!!! I'm so excited to see my sisters. Tyler can't wait to see Taylee and today when I put Kaysen down for a nap he said "go nannie papa, no nite nite" We're all excited to see my parents, sisters, brother-in-laws, and nephews and nieces!!!

Fair Week

Okay...I know I'm going back a couple of weeks
So anyone who knows anyone from Burley has probably heard of fair week. It all starts with the parade Wednesday morning (at least for us) The whole town closes down since most everyone participates in the parade and those who don't watch.

This year Kelly got to drive the back of the fire truck. Kaysen was so excited to see Daddy, but that wore off when he saw a dog (someone dressed up) in the fire truck too.



You may have guessed this would be chocolate from all the candy, but not from my child...it's dirt











Here are the boys by the pigs. When Kelly was younger he raised these for the fair too.








Kaysen eating a huge ice cream cone. It was supposed to be mine, but once he saw it he wouldn't give it back. Oh well, it was better for me anyways.


I've been to dozens of rodeo's but I've never seen anything like this. Here they get groups of 3 people together and they have to catch, saddle, and ride a cow across the finish line. It is so fun to watch. We love the Cassia County Fair and Rodeo!!!! I hope someday my sisters can come watch this.

Back to School

I can't believe another summer has past already. Tyler started 3rd grade this year. Now he is one of the oldest students in his school. We had such a fun summer, but I was excited for school to start again. I'm so excited to get my house back in order. As you can see, it is in need of tidying up.
After school, Tyler came home and said that it was the best day EVER!!! I'm so thankful that he is excited to go back to school.
