Josephine County Fair

The fair was great fun!!! The girls got to hold little ducklings.

Below Christne is petting a baby calf. The girls really enjoyed the Petting Zoo.


Here the party girls are riding the rides with hands in the air. Look at those smiles ;)

Linda's Mom Peggy was great she paid for the girls to ride the rides and she also bought some really good fair food. You know the kind cotton candy, ice cream.....we were on a sugar High!

The picture above was of the girls showing off there rocks they got at the gem booth.

The Fair was a really fun time. The girls rode every ride they were tall enough for and crashed hard when they were done. We got to walk around and look at all the exibits when we need the shade.
We love the fair!!!!!

My Birthday Week!!!

In My family we celebrate a birthday week. Todd thinks we are crazy but thats how we roll.
My week stared with a celebration with almost all my family at the Annual Mahannual(our big family campout). I was completly spoiled and want to thank everyone so much!!!!
On my actual birthday I got a beautiful watch, a bird feeder, a great steak dinner and this wonderful cake. Christine & Todd did a great job. It was really nice.

On Tuesday my Mom took Christine for the night so Todd & I could go take a break at the coast.(much need) We had a great time..Maxing & Relaxing!

This is us in front of a light hoouse we checked out.





















This was a really fun part of our trip.I begged Todd to do this.... it was so funny. We drove thur this tree down at the Red Wood. This tree was huge.
We also went to the Casino & won a little money....can't say how much. Don't want the IRS to track us down. Ha Ha!

Things have been great this week lots of lunch & dinner dates. My friends and family are the Best!!!

Thanks everyone for making this week so great!!
