The State Fair

I love it when the state fair comes. We try and go every year so we can ride the rides and eat all the gooooooooood food they have! This year my sister-in-law Micah and her husband Spencer went with us, we also took my nephew Tuff with us. It was unlimited ride day with a wristband, so we bought the kids each one and Micah and I got one so we could ride with them. Patrick and Spencer didn't really care about the rides, they just wanted to play the games. The big slide was the boys favorite, they went down it over and over. Tyler really wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel (which I hate) so Micah and I braved it out and went with him. We saw the grizzly bear show, and then Micah and I went on this crazy ride that goes around and upside down. We ofcourse had to try a fried Twinkie, mmmmmmmmm goood!!! We had a good time and can't wait to go next year!

Our Little Family

I love gettting a pedicure!

My friend told me about this awesome place to get a pedicure. They have all these cool designs to choose from that they will do on your toes. Last month we went and got our toes done and it was great. Well it was time to get them done again, so I went back and got a Halloween design. I love this place! Now I'm addicted.
Thanks Natalie! Sorry my toes are short and fat(not very cute)but somehow nail polish makes them look a lot better.

Tyler plays flag football

Tyler is playing NFL flag football this fall. He has played t-ball and basketball,but I think he likes this the best. He really wanted to play tackle football, but Patrick was worried he might get hurt at such a young age so we comprimised with flag football. He is having so much fun. His coach is awesome and has taught them so much. He is on the offense and plays center. Go 49ers!!!

Send Out Cards "Send Out To Give"

Patrick and I have joined this new business called Send Out Cards. You go online and personalize a greeting card, put in the recipients name and address and click send on your computer and the company prints, stamps and mails out your card. You can even include gifts like cookies, brownies, gift cards, books, etc. No more going to the store to buy a card and then having to go to the post office to mail it. Last month we went to Salt Lake City, Utah for the convention. It was awesome listening to all the speakers, and we toured the factory where they make the cards and print them out. That was a very cool thing to see. Thurl Bailey was one of the guest speakers and sang some of his songs. We had to buy his CD and I got my picture taken with him. He is very tall! Yes I know everyone hates multi level marketing. Trust me I feel the same way, but this is actually something you would use. If you go to our website you can sign up for a free account and send a few cards. Give it a try. It's alot of fun to see the reactions of people when you send them a card for no specific reason. It just makes people feel good!
We ofcourse had to go to Temple Square and then eat at the Jospeh Smith Building at The Roof Restaurant. Wow that was really GOOD!

Chore Board

So one of my good friends is the enrichment leader in our ward. They are having a super Saturday next month and they have a bunch of cute crafts you can make. Well you know me, I always love to make cute things for my house so I told her I wanted to make this chore board. I thought what a great idea, it will look cute in my house and also get my kids to do their chores. Apparently she didn't have many people willing to help teach the classes so guess who got asked to teach it, yep that's right me! Last week we made ours since we won't have time that day, and they turned out sooooo cute! It is a very cute idea.

Wii, Playstation 3, Game Cube, DS.......

We have way too many video game systems at our house. We have a PS3 which is mostly Patrick's for his games, but we also use it for Rockband and the car racing games I like. The boys have a gamecube, Tyler saved up his money and bought himself a Nintendo DS, and then we got a Wii for Christmas. You would think with all those systems we would never be able to play them all, but somehow we manage to find enough time to use them. I have really been wanting to get the Wii Fit, but Patrick didn't think we would use it or like it. That was until he saw someone hula hooping and snow boarding on it and he thought it looked pretty cool. So yesterday we went and bought one. We were in luck that the game store just got a shipment in that morning and we were able to get one. I guess they're sold out within minutes. Needless to say he has been playing on it since we got it. Hopefully I'll get to try it sometime soon. He does have to go to work eventually!
