Iowa State Fair 2012

A few weeks ago my mom came up and we all went to the fair! This was Wes's first trip there. Quinn has been every year since she's been alive! We left right after breakfast and had a nice, cool morning at the fairgrounds. The kids were great and the food was good; another fair trip in the books!

Riding a pony with Daddy. These horses looked so big next to tiny little kids!

so brave!

They had a blast on this!

Turtle Sandbox

We recently got a hand-me-down turtle sandbox from my sister. I don't think we are going to fill it up with sand until next spring, but the kids are loving their new toy anyway!

Come back, buddy!

so very handsome

My boys

A special treat

When the kids and I were at my parents' house last week, we made sure to head to Dairy Queen so Quinn could get her first Denison burger! It was the perfect size for her, and she gobbled it right up (with plenty of ketchup, of course). Too cute for words. :-)

....Little People style. :-)

Fun with fire trucks

Recent trip to the park

The other day, Randy, Q, and I ran a ton of errands in Waukee. The "old" part of town really reminds me of being in Manning or some other town like that, so I love it. One of the best things is Centennial Park, which has this neat old covered bridge. It was such a pretty sight that I had to stop and snap a few pics!
