In ALL Things Give Thanks

This week is a wonderful week. It started out with a great Sunday as you saw on my last blog. In addition to the activity, Sacrament meeting had an amazing spirit. Then Monday night was family night and Kent, Braxton and I spent it at the fair. (See Fair Blog Below) Last night I had my Lia Sophia jewelry party and it was a lot of fun. Then today I was able to render service to a woman I visit teach. She was having surgery today and I was able to watch her kids for a while. It always makes you feel SO good to serve. Then after that I read all of my friends uplifting blogs and it made me feel even better. Two friends blogs are celebrating their 6th year of marriage (congrats Kari and Kristen), and one of them also had a reminder about the importance of enjoying raising your children because it goes so fast (Thanks again Kristen). My other friend's (Becca) blog had an excellent reminder about the importance of eternal marriage. Just in case you were wondering if anyone reads your blog... I do, so thanks! Now here is my blog about the Utah State Fair!

The Farm People Come to the City at

The Utah State Fair

and the city slickers pick up

a little dirt on their shoes

I HAD to get this picture! Where else are you going to see a playpen next to a bunch of cows... OK you're right. But many people don't live on the farm. This reminds me of Kent's family (The Kesler's). They all hate coming to the dreadful city with all those crazy people living so close together. In fact according to Kent's brother we live right in the heart of the city with all the crime. I poke fun only because while I can handle city life I would LOVE to live in the country just like most my in-laws.

Braxton liked the pigs. He thought they were fun.

Nice goat. I like your haircut. More goats~!

These lucky cows are on a strict beauty regimen. They have to use a blow dryer every day.

After that they get a brushing from the curry (sp?) comb. See you didn't know that I knew what that was called did you. ha ha
This picture may look random, but from that ceiling dropped a fake tarantula that gave me a heart attack. I bet those cowboys (on the right) laughed all day long with that trick.

Hello Mr. Goat. how are you?

Look mom! I'm petting the goat.

Braxton looked so cute and tired on the way home after the fair. Unfortunately we forgot to go see the horse stalls so we have no picture of Braxton with the horses. Oh well.

You know that family night has to end with a treat. We stopped by KFC and got some Root Beer and a cinnamon pull-apart. Braxton liked both treats. It was a very fun evening. Kent and I sure have a great kid! LUCKY!
