Fair day!

After camping we came home and took the girls to the last day at the Fair. We always stop at the petting zoo and feed the mini goats and milk a cow. Then the girls love to ride the mini horses. We take them on a few crazy carni rides and then get some mini donuts and call it a day! (Wow we like a lot of mini things at the fair?)

Labor Day weekend camping!

All of us reading and watching the girlies warm their hands by the fire!


We went camping with the Kelsey's for two nights over labor day weekend. They princess camp and I love it! They had a toilet tent, shower tent, cooked for us and we all slept on air mattresses! Zach teased his Mom that she should just get a camp trailer and it would be a lot easier to set-up and clean-up! Not the same! We have not been camping ever with Mallory. CRAZY because we love camping too! We got a flat tire on the way there. So Zach put a donut on and drove in to Burley and we payed for 4 new tires. So camping ain't a cheap vacation for us!!! The girls smashed into the truck with Eddy and Val and I drove the 4 wheeler in for about 1/2 an hour. I was filthy. Every strand of my hair was covered in dirt. Other than that and Mallory getting stung by a few hornets it was a really relaxing, fun time! We had such yummy foil bakes and smores and pancakes! Zach and I read books and the girls colored and played dolls in a fairy house Grandma helped them make. We went on 4-wheeler rides, took naps and the girls loved their hikes with grandpa.( Cute memory I have to write down.... Around the campfire we played I spy and it was funny. The girls kept saying " I spy something orange or yellow or blue" and it was always the fire! It is kind of hard to play that game in the dark, I will give them that.)

The Fairy house the girls made with grandma. The girls loved it!

The girls colored for hours on their little table together.


Fun 4-wheeler rides and Mallory after she was stung on the eyebrow and finger.

FOOTBALL SEASON!

Football season is upon us and Zach is happier than ever! He bought himself season tickets for BSU football for his birthday. He has loved going to the games and screaming his head off with his buddies! GO BSU! Zach is also on about 4 fantasy football teams and so Sundays he is back and forth between the computer and his games on TV. Zach is such a well rounded guy! He pretty much gets into almost anything and he goes the limit! We had fun at the BSU game even when they are blowouts! We also love the chance to go hang out with family and friends in Boise!

Remodel

Zach worked really hard this summer on our house! He tiled like crazy with his Dad. They redid 2 bathrooms beautifully and our Bar downstairs and plan to do our fireplace too. Scott and Zach put in beautiful laminate floors in our living room and hall! THANKS Zach, Eddy and Scott I have been waiting for these upgrades for a few years and am sooooo happy with your awesome results!

Arizona week with family!

After Las Vegas Zach flew home to work all week and I followed Chad back to AZ. We stayed with Chad and Ashley. We played games, swam at the Safford pool with fun slides and had Chad's R&R buffet and snow cones! YEAH THATCHER TIMES! Then we drove to St.David and played with the Joneseys. We visited lots of family and had a fun BUNCO NIGHT!



Friday we drove to Phoenix with Aunt Natalie and picked up Zach and our niece Saedee from the Airport. We then went to the WigWam resort for a Twilight Convention. Zach and I were really hoping to meet Alice but she cancelled again. We called her lots of naughty names. But we were able to meet some of the wolves in the next movie. (Zach put in a question from me during their question and answer forum about imprinting and it really embarrassed me. But it was funny!) Sydney also entered the costume contest as a mini Victoria. She looked really cool with her long beautiful hair wavy with leaves in it. She won most Unique and got $150 and bought us all twilight shirts and herself a bag. She was so excited and not shy at all.




Leah and Weston drove up Sunday and played with us all day. We had fun at the resort and swam alot and ate alot and relaxed. It was fun to see Aunt Heidy and her family, Grandma Higgi and Haddock, Uncle Ron and Louisa and their new baby Maria, my good ol' friend Brittany, and the Seguritans! YEAH I think I saw alot of people in a quick week that flew by. We love Idaho but we sure miss all of our family and friends in ARIZONA!!!

Vegas weekend

We went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago and met up with Chad and Ashley! We did alot of fun stuff! I got home from girls camp at almost 11pm and Zach decided he wanted to drive all night while the girls were alseep. So we loaded up and I took a nap. Then we drank lots of soda and giggled and caught up on lots of stuff. Zach does almost all of the driving and I have to talk his ear off. I am pretty good at it. We got to Vegas and I took another nap and then we started to play.


We went to another Star Trek convention (Ashley's Favorite!) We met Christopher Lloyd (the cool old guy from Back to the Future) and Zachary Quinto (from the new Star Trek and from HEROES) I told Zach I wanted to put blood on my forehead because Sylar from Heroes slices peoples heads open and takes their powers. Zach wasn't excited about it and I couldn't find costume blood. But, the guy in line behind us had some on and so friendly me asked him if I could copy him and he gladly shared. The girls were really scared of me. But I think it turned into a hilarious photo!

We went to the Jousting Dinner show! It was entertaining. The food was crazy, you had no utensils and they gave everyone a whole little chicken. The fighting was cool and we each cheered for our own country. Sydney really got into Booing the other countries. I think Ashley had a mini crush on our Knight! Mallory did not like it at all and was hiding behind me at first and then the fireworks went off and she lost it. So Zach took her out and walked around the Casino.


We also went to Circus Circus one night and watched a few of the free acts. The Magic show lady that kept changing costumes was crazy cool. There were also very flexible African dancers. The boys won the little girls lots of stuffed animals and ended up playing way too many games to win Mallory a horsey. But Chad really won her over with it.

The rest of the time we just ate alot and swam a few times. Ashley and I did run twice together on Vacation! Thanks! We also stopped by Kimberly's house and saw some cousins and Aunt Amy too!
