Boise County Fair

So Heidi talked me into another fair....in the HEAT!!! But we had a good time!

We went mainly because we heard of this new Dinosaur attraction....wasn't exactly what we were picturing, but the kids liked it.....or should I say scared of it!

I told them to walk over to the Dino...they were a little hesitant...Adeline wouldn't get out of the stroller.

The moms.

The kids.

Next we went to the petting zoo section...I liked this dudes horns!

Somedays I do feel this way!
Chris, Elijah, Nick, Addy, and Gabe.

Ended up the day with some rides from Aunt Michele!

Can't tell by this pic, but Ian was having a ball!

Summer is almost over.......

This is Ian holding aunt Heidi's new puppet! The kids were a little scared of it at first.

I know she is cute!
Who knew my fuzzy socks would be so much fun!

John, Robert's little brother is leaving for Iraq so we had a going away party for him! We are proud of you John and we will miss you!

I took a picture just like this one when I first met Robert....so ofcourse I had to do it again!

Grandpa Hallenberger having fun with the grandkids.

Me and my girls!

Going Private

Ok so I am going to try and make my blog private....again! So if you still want to see what we are up to I need your addy!

Future Pianist

Robert taught Elijah this song....he practiced until it was perfect. Now he has added it to a beat! Nice work bud!!

Smarty Pants

Adeline loves running around without clothes on.

Adeline: "Mom, can I take my shirt off?"

Mom: "No, princess's don't run around with their shirts off."

Adeline: "Mom, I won't run around, I will just walk."

Getting Caught up!

Gwendolyn and I flew to Washington for a weekend because I had some photo shoots! This was her first time flying so I didn't know what to expect. She fell asleep right as the plane was taking off and snoozed most of the ride. Then she just played and had a good time. We had another mom with and 8 month old boy sit by us so we wouldn't annoy anyone!

This is my view of Mt. Reiner from the airplane!
Grandpa Thomas reading Gweny the paper! They had a great time together! Thanks dad for your help! You are a natural with those grandbabies!
Gweny playin in the tub while I clean!
This was my view leaving the great North West!
I was editing some pictures and I hear Hi mom from up above. I look and this is what I see! I had to get a pic before they got in trouble!
Ahhh the joys of this house!

Adeline's first self portrait!
Robert is going on a week long 60 mile back packing trip with Aaron and the scouts from his ward next week. I wanted to see if Gweny could fit and go with them! She was excited about the idea!
This was taken back on August 2nd when Gweny just started pulling herself up onto her knees. Now she is pulling herself up onto her feet....
Robert is really ticklish but HE HATES being tickeled. Well for some reason today he found it funny and Ian had to get in on the action!

Good Times

We had our good friends the Adersons come over for a BBQ back on the 1st of August! We had a great time.....thanks for comin' guys! Who would've thought after meeting 5 years ago up in Portland that we would end up just down the street from them here in Idaho!

Elijah took this pic! Great job bud!

Gwendolyn is 8 months old!

Can't believe it, 8 months old! She is such a character,we just love her to pieces!! Playin' in the sink is one of her new favorite things to do. I think she gets herself dirty while eating on purpose because she knows this is where she will end up! Bibs?! What are those?!?!

County Fair

Getting caught up on some bloggin'!

7-29-2010

Heidi invited us to the county fair while Lacey was in town. It was HOT, but we had a great time!

What a group!

Coolin' down with some snow cones.

Train ride!
Ian and Chris were the only ones that would ride the little roller coaster! They had a blast!!
I think the Merry-Go-Round was the best part!
Aren't they cute!
Can't forget the cotton candy!
