Jackson's Birthday!!

Another year has gone by. How could my Jackson be 4 years old! He is growing up! What a great little boy he is - he makes us laugh everyday and he is such a good helper.

 The kids love decorating their own cakes. 

 Jackson loves sharks. He is sprinkling little candy sharks on his cake.  

 and eating delicious blue icing. 

 The traditional birthday balloons. 

 All the family showing up. We were actually celebrating his cousin Marks birthday too who turned 5!

 Bringing in the cakes.

 Happy Birthday!!!!

 I love how the kids gather round as close as they can to watch them open presents. 

 Crazy Uncle Dustin actually put live gold fish in that bag! 4 gold fish for Jackson's 4th birthday! He loves them!

 Fish food.

 A piggy bank.

 Everyone helping!

 Jackson likes to do homework everyday, so I got him some new homework stuff. 

 Time for cake and ice cream!

Happy Birthday Jackson!!

Fair Time!!

Fair time just seems to get more and more exciting as the kids get older! Now with them being 6, 3 and 2 we  had tons of fun this year. Isaac's Kindergarten class went to the fair together and me, Anna and Jackson went along as chaperone's.   

 Jackson got the short end of the stick on this deal but I think he made the pink dress look pretty good. They never would've done this for me but Isaac's teacher Mrs. Cameron asked them if she could take their picture. She is a great teacher, we just love her.

 They love the baby pigs.

 They got to pet little baby goats.

 Then on to the pig races. I think the whole school was there!

 Go piggies go!!

 There was an area with little activities for the kids.

 Digging for gold coins.

 

At 11:15 we met to walk back over to the school for the kids to get on the bus.

After that, we met up with the Dalley's and Jensen's for rides. My amazing sister is a few weeks away from having her 7th baby and braved it at the fair for several hours.

 The 3 musketeers. 

 Woohoo!! Nothing better than flying an airplane with a gun!!

 Handsome boys

 They loved the fast bumpy roller coaster. Everyone was tall enough to go this year.

 Anna, Tenley and Emma cruisin around.

 I went on the twirling dragons with the girls. 

 They loved the fun houses. 

 Elise and I feeling dizzy after our dragon ride.

 Wendy and I conquering the fair with our 6 kids. Then Kristi with 6 1/2 kids of her own.

 I love this picture of Isaac and Elise on the farris Wheel. She looks happy but she kept saying, " I -AM-GOING-TO-DIE!" 

 Anna was a bit scared herself. Poor girl wasn't feeling to great anyway. She started getting a fever and slept for a while with me holding her and then we didn't stay too much longer.

 Tag, Jackson, Wendy and Ty below us.

 Can't forget the motorcycles - one of the favorites.

 Tenley and Anna on the swings.

Another year at the Clark County Fair for the books.
