The Fair

Yesterday was $2 Tuesday at the fair, so Carlin and I thought we would take the evening and go check it out. We walked through a couple of the Expos and treated ourselves to fair food. Funnel Cake... yummm.

We went through the trade show which was fun. So many knick-knacks you don't really need but the vendors try to talk you into buying. Then we went to Agtropolis. This was so much fun, especially for Samuel. He loved it.




Samuel thought the chicks were so funny. I didn't let him pet the chicks but he did get to pet a bunny rabbit, which was just as good.


He also thought the sheep and goats were great and kept saying, "baaaa, aaaaa."


A view of the fair from our car. Overall we had a great time. We didn't do too much since we went in the evening and Samuel was tuckered out after a couple of hours.

Carlin said that it was basically all the same stuff year-to-year so we will just hit it up again next year. Maybe I will enter a pie in the pie-baking contest and a chance to win $200, next year!

Random Life Updates

So, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I got my hair cut. It was looking particularly cute one night so I had Carlin take a couple of pictures. Here is my new, layered look:


And the back...


We were up in Stillwater celebrating my brother, Dallin and wife Samantha's birthdays a couple of weeks ago and decided to go to the County Fair. We saw a HUGE watermelon and had to take pictures to prove it:

Yep, that says 110 pounds! Seriously, the biggest watermelon I've ever seen.

The pregnancy is going well. I was reprimanded at my last doctor's visit to drink more liquids and eat more protein, so, I'm drinking 3 liters of water (at least) a day and eating protein with every meal and snack. I'm kind of getting all proteined out. Other than that our little girl is moving and kicking and healthy. No names yet, but I would love to hear suggestions.

Carlin and I have decided that we have officially been initiated into parenthood having recently taken our first trip to the emergency room. We were getting ready to leave our friend's baby shower (yay for Nichole!) when Samuel decided to trip into a brick fireplace. Right before the Georgia v. OSU game too. There was blood everywhere and Samuel was crying - although I think he was more mad at us that we were pinning his arms to his side to attend to the wound. By the time we got to the ER he had calmed down and was flirting with the nurses... until they glued his wound shut. Yep, they used glue, not stitches, with which we were just fine. He showed no signs of a concussion or any kind of serious head trauma. In fact, we were chasing him around the ER room trying to keep him out of stuff while waiting to be discharged. We did make it to the last half of the game after getting Samuel settled at my parent's house.


Samuel's bump. (Sorry, blogger keeps uploading it sideways and I've just given up trying to fix it - just tilt your head.)


Us at the game. We have season tickets and are super excited. The Cowboys are already ranked 5th in the national standings! Woohoo!

And to prove that Samuel is fine and back to his normal mischievousness:
