The Blackfoot Fair

I look forward to this event every year. And as I said last year, we budget about $20 for souveniers, and about $100 for food (Just in Case.) We ended up not using that much, but we came close. Now I need to work out for weeks just to shed the extra weight brought on by all that deep fat fried goodness! I HEART the blackfoot Fair!

The Ferris Wheel... Tebbin stared at this all day!

Me & my Hubby! Isn't he a hottie?

Labor Day

What a Fun-Filled Labor Day!~ We loved spending time with family and just RELAXING!!!

Tebbin started the day by playing in the fridge

And Then in the Dryer.

Daddy & Tebbin lounged before the day really began & watched an episode of "King of Queens"

We went to Great Gma & Gpa coons & played out back

Tebbin & Finley loved playing on the fence

The Cutest babies ever: Finley, Dylan, Tebbin, & Molly!

And Finley was filthy by the end of the day!

Gabe on the Tire Swing!

Then it was off to the Pincocks for More family fun!

Tebbin had a monkey following him around for a while!

And Then Posed for a picture with Piggy!
The best mother in law ever, and two of our favorite uncles. We were so glad Brad & Jerry could spend some time in Idaho!

Hope you all had a FABULOUS Labor Day! Stay tuned for my next post of the Blackfoot Fair!!!

Celebrity Look or Act Alike

Have you ever been told you LOOK or ACT like a certain celebrity? I just thought it'd be fun to post the few that I have been told throughout my life (well, mostly just since high school.)

#1: My ACT alike: I got told several times that something about the way I acted was reminiscent of Sandra Bullock (I don't see it at all...)

#2: Look Alike: Heather Burns. I think her most famous quote is unfortunately from Miss Congeniality: "Well, my idea of a perfect date would be April 23rd. Because it's not too warm and not too cold, all you need is a light jacket."

#3: Look Alike: Allyson Hannigan: I think her most famous quote is unfortunately "This one time, at band camp."

What do you think?

Sad Story... I just had my husband read this post, and he said "I think you ACT like Allyson Hannigan in American Pie: This one time, at band camp."

Accomplishment

Do you ever have days that you feel as if you got so much accomplished? Yesterday was Definitely one of those days. And I got to thinking... How did I get soooo much done? Upon further investigation I found a nice little fairy ring in my back yard. I must have stepped in it. How else would time seem to be standing still as I got numerous tasks done?

The Mushrooms that make up the fairy ring

The Fairy Ring (I hope you can see it!)

I picked almost everything in my Garden; Potatoes, Onions, Carrots, Peas, and a few Zucchini that were growing large. So I tilled under all the garden space that was now barren- all that is left is my zucchini, squash, and pumpkins. (I also hung the star on the fence.)

The Fruits of my Labor (Yes, I scrubbed, cut, and shredded all of my produce as well.)

We inherited this freezer from my Grandparents. We first thought the outside was covered in food and other items that had spilled or splashed on the freezer in the 35 years it sat in their garage. It turned out to just be a whole bunch of rust. So I got to sanding it (no, it was not an electric sander, this was all done by hand baby!)

I was also able to complete the following (sorry, no pictures to entertain you!)

1. Posted Items on Craigslist to be sold
2. Scheduled a plasma Donation
3. Completed a plasma donation
4. Read the first 6 chapters of The bartimaeus triliogy: book I
5. Weeded the entire back yard & all landscaping
6. Helped in weeding and tearing out old landscape fabric at my grandparents home.
7. ran 3 miles in preparation for the 5K I'm going to participate in (it was the first time I ran with no stops.... hooray!!!)

Needless to say, I am a little sore today. And so Far today, I have written out bills, and created this post, and the day is already 1/2 over (sad Story). Hey, I can't have a successful day everyday!
