Idaho State Fair!!!

We took the kids to the fair Saturday night and had a great time. We went to see all the animals and were able to pet most of them. They were scared of the longhorn cows. The girls had to have their faces painted. They saw a clown and thought she was the greatest thing they had seen all night. We also had to have pictures taken with all the cut outs. We had a great time.

Frist Day of Kindergarten

Mackenzie's first day of kindergarten was on August 21. She was a little on the nervous side, but soon got over that. I had to go with her for an hour the first day. Her first full day was on the 26th. She had fun taking a lunch and being able to go all day. It made her feel all grown up.

The Kids' New Playhouse

MacKenzie begged her Dad to help her build Sophie a dog house and he got it finished yesterday. It looks kind of crappy and he still needs to shingle it, but the kids loved it. They all piled in to see what it looked like from the inside.

American Idol (Lawnmower Style)

We were working outside yesterday when we heard Deni Mae singing really loud. We turned around and found her singing into the gear-shift knob on the riding lawnmower as if it were a microphone. She sang for a long time before we decided to get the video camera. Notice the look she gives the camera at the very end of her performance. We asked her what she was signing and she said, "Hannah".

Be sure to pause the music at the bottom of our blog page before clicking "PLAY" so you can hear her singing.
