September catch up

We have had a lot going on over the past month. Curtis had his birthday and I forgot the camera so sorry, no photos for that one. We had a small party at the Finch Cabin. Curtis and my dad made a dutch oven lunch and we had s'mores for desert. It was really nice and relaxing.
At the end of September, we picked up Tyler and Lindsey and headed for the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We had a great time at the Nasscar truck race and Curtis announced he no longer wants to go to the car races...just the truck races. I'm sure the VIP pass he had has nothing to do with this decision. We remembered the camera for this one but forgot the memory card. We thought we might still be able to take some photos and store them on our card but alas, no photos for this event either. A BIG thanks to Grandma Kizzy and Aunt Manda for watching all our kids.

Labor Day

Labor Day morning we all headed to Payson to watch my Dad ride in the Parade.

We all sat in a large group of Ryan's, Steven's Turlie's and Finch's.

It was a great day for a parade, sunny but cool.

We had a wonderful week with everyone.

Childrens Parade

Angie and I took Max and Isaac in the children's parade Saturday morning.

The parade route starts at and elementary school, goes past the park and ends a few blocks away at the fire station. Just long enough for Isaac and Max to stay sitting. At the end every participant gets a Popsicle.

The Fire Department lets the kids climb through the fire trucks...They even leave the Keys in the ignition. I wonder how may kids have keys to the fire trucks.

We almost drove this beauty home.

Onion Days

Friday night we headed to the park for some fun at the carnival. Curtis dominated the rides.

He even convinced his mom to go on a ride with him. I don't remember what this one was called but I'm glad I didn't have to go with him.

We stopped for a bite to eat at one of the food stands. We supported the local grub and bought hamburgers from a stand promoting Dixon's Meat. (The Dixon's live in the Steven's ward). They also had corn...luck for me and Max

Max did get in one ride down the big slide. I guess the motor had gone out on the carousel so this was the only ride he could go on with an adult. I'm not ready to have him on rides by himself.
We did get eaten alive by mosquito's but it was worth it.

Penrod Reunion

This weekend we attended the Penrod reunion. This is the first time I have ever been to the Penrod reunion and it is the first time in about the last 20 years it has been held at the Penrod farm. We stared out visiting (chasing Max). Then we moved on to a chicken dinner. After dinner, Uncle Bub took us on a hay ride. I have been on hay rides with bails of hay but this one looked like he had just mowed the field and loaded it on. We had a great time.
There we even a few celebrity appearances. Sam Penrod from the channel 5 news cast and Micheal Aitken from the Dew Tour.

County Fair

Last night was the opening of the Utah County Fair. We met up with the Tijerina's, Kevin and Kenton. I have some good memories of this fair from 4H. I make Curtis go with me to see all of the Cakes, Photos, sewing...everything that has a ribbon. I always feel bad for the second place winners. I got Second place the year I put a cake in. They had it in a hot building and my frosting and decor melted.

They had a ranch style rodeo going. They had soggy mud puddles so you had to make sure you were up high enough to avoid being splashed. I forgot how much I love rodeos.

Another great day at the fair.

Corn

I am so happy, Max likes corn on the cob as much as I do!
