MOOOO! That's what we all felt like after the State Fair! We had a great time on Saturday at the State Fair! Maddie was here for her 11th birthday, I can't believe it! I was just telling Matt that she was 3! when I started dating him, now our girl is 11! The kids had a great time. We arrived in the afternoon and enjoyed a corny dog for dinner of course!
Maddie is showing off her great job on eating the ENTIRE corny dog! Luke was still car sick(we know who he gets that from:) thanks to the traffic on I30 and wasn't up to a corny dog, poor kid! He made up for it later in funnel cake!We walked around and looked at all the wonderful things that the fair has to offer, mostly a bunch of crap but some cool stuff too!
Big Tex (not crap) the one thing that Luke kept talking about non stop. They made him at school and he couldn't wait to see his boots! He got a big kick out of him talking.
Obviously I was not car sick and was able to polish off my Fletcher's jalapeno cheese corny dog with no side affects, but I was mad Matt caught me in the act:)
We rode the sky rail across the fair which was a neat way to see everything quickly. We rode it again at night and that was really cool!
I told you that Luke redeemed himself later with a funnel cake and here is the proof. We all shared this deep fried, covered in sugar and hot fudge treat, but as Luke would say we all "wolfed" it down pretty quick! In fact it was painful to pull myself away long enough to snap this pic, I was loosing ground against the kids!
We went to see the Backyard Circus and Luke was able to participate as a lion! He was so thrilled to get picked, it was so cute to see him so excited!
He kept looking at us with this goofy grin and giving the thumbs up sign. I have a little video of his Oscar winning performance. Now after the dancing and this I'm sure Hollywood will be knocking on our door!
He was being "tamed" and rolling over, we were afraid he was going to roll right off the stage!
This was the death defying "Ring of Fire", sit back and be amazed! (no children were hurt during the making of this video!)
We ended the night at the Billy Ray Cyrus concert, oh yeah you read me right, Billy Ray! It was the closest thing we could get Maddie to Hannah Montana! He was actually pretty good! I felt kinda of bad for him when the girls(and there were many) were all chanting, "HANNAH, HANNAH, HANNAH", but he handled it well and I think Luke picked up a few moves for his next performance:)
The kids had a great night and so did Matt and I after we got home and took some Advil:)
Luke and I spent last weekend at Aunt Becca's house! Luke had fun making waffles with his Aunt Becca for breakfast on Sunday. She made me promise to cut her face off while snapping pics, but she didn't say anything about a belly shot ban:)
Here he is showing off his hard work, we had fun eating the "hearts" of waffle, well I had a good time:) He is such a naturalist that he fed the left overs to the squirrels in the backyard. We kept looking for them to come back but I'm afraid all the noise he made throwing it out there scared them off.
Luke is not one to be put off by a squirrel, so he decided to swing in protest. Yes, he is in his underwear, if you have ever been to our house you know that is him at his happiest, undressed:) He is just a man in training, I pray for his future wife each night, she has her work cut out for her.
We ended our weekend with RyLeigh Rose's(or RyLeigh Nosy as Luke calls her) birthday party! It was great fun. The kids came in costume and played candy corn relay, wrap your Mum like a mummy and race around the yard like a banshee(okay that was just what Luke and Hunter did)! Lisa did a great job with activities and dinner, yeah Lisa!
Even little Addie got in on the candy corn action,most of it went to her mouth! That's my kind of girl:)
The birthday girl did a great job blowing out her BOO cupcake cake and opening all her presents. Luke came home took a bath and fell fast asleep, which I'm about to do as well. Sorry this was a long one but I had too much to get in! I can't blog during the week it is too stressful. I love reading your comments so keep them coming! Have a great week!
Hunter and Luke, there are two very lucky girls growing up that have THIS to look forward too:)
