oh how i love a fair....

i was looking through my mom's pics trying to find dave's graduation pictures and came across these beauties!  {i promise i am still looking for those pics amys!} we were lucky enough to head to the salt lake fair. so i thought i would post a few.

chase caught a fish!!!

aspen getting a wet kiss from a goat! there were so many cute animals, like the bebe piglets. i wish i could find those pics they were too cute.

now there is some excitment!

i was really surprised that the kids did so well on the rides, i truly love this picture........it feels like this catipillar should have been on ghost busters.....creepster

this is another all time fav

can't leave the fair without trying some of the carni food. "excuse me, but i believe i ordered the LARGE corn dog"

shakin it

it was a full moon, seriously we got some awesome pics

i had to throw this one in because aspen started pre-school!! this was her first day,  looking all grown up.  hopefully we will get all caught up on our move. i promise i will put pics up of the house & i still need to do a post on aspen's b-day party &  chasey chaser's birthday!!! can't believe he turned 2!!!

shhhhhh...it's someone's birthday........................

your right! it's our sweet little aspen tree' s 4th birthday!!!! I can't believe our baby girl has turned 4 years old! holy cow, where has the time gone.

here is our sweet aspen born aug. 24 at 11:20 p.m. 21 inches long & 6 pds. 14 ounces. she was beautiful!!!

the home we brought her too!! #8 crescent heights morgantown, wv {don't worry this address does not exist anymore, it is now sadly a parking lot for a huge company}

1st birthday!!!

our baby girl turning 2!!! aspen was so much fun at this age........although she did give me a run for my money! she was sooooo busy. I was 7 months pregnant with chase & I would have to chase her down. she really discovered how to sing at this age & she was really good at making up her own songs. she has always been so lovable!

 "i am free..." or really she was just turning three. still wild, very out going and just learned how to approach people with pets. "excuse me may I pet your dog?" she has a radar for animals at the park. it's like she knows where they are the minute we unleash her from her car seat. she must scope it as we are parking. she LOVES, LOVES cats & dogs.

she is such a great big sister. she absolutely LOVES her baby chasey chaser. when he was born she was and still is the biggest helper. they are the best of buds

she always keep us entertained & finds new ways to have fun

she has the sweetest smile, she is so sincere and loving.

she LOVEs to dress up.

she truly has the best wink!

she is a good little skier!

even wanted to carry her own skis.

this was a proud day for her mama.

and her daddy too.
