Fun at the Fair

Yesterday, we decided to go on a little family outing to the MS State Fair!! Angie went with us and was such an awesome help with the kids. The weather was nice, but turned pretty hot after we'd been there a while. First off, Hamp & Reid went down the HUGE slide. (I wasn't able to get a picture b/c I wasn't sure how to work our new camera.) Then it was off to Reid's FAVORITE ride...the trucks!!

Lily wanted to go exploring. She is walking so well!!

After riding the trucks, Reid wanted to try out the motorcycles. He wasn't too sure of it at first, but once it got going, he really liked it.

After the motorcycles, we headed over to the small ferris wheel so I could ride with my little man.

Lily conked out while we were walking to the other end of the fair. How precious is she????

While Lily napped, we headed over to the TradeMart to see the antique cars and to cool off!! Angie & Reid posed for some pics infront of the antique firetruck. Reid was very upset that he couldn't ride in it.

Angie & Hamp wanted to ride this ride (don't remember the name) for some crazy reason. You know, the one that takes you up real high and then drops you without notice. I rode one similar to this when Hamp & I went to Six Flags over Georgia. I vowed to NEVER get on another one again.

My precious family!!

Let's catch up!!

Alright, alright!!! I'm the world's worst at keeping my blog up-to-date! So much has been going on since my last post, but now that I have a few minutes, let's catch up.

The Saturday after Lily's birthday, Sept. 13, Angie was home from her training in Chicago. She wanted some one-on-one time with Reid, so she took him to Build-A-Bear. He was SO excited, to say the least. He picked out a cute little puppy and wanted to make him into a fireman. He named him "Sam" and picked out the cutest fireman clothes, as well as play clothes. Afterwards, they went to Chik-fil-A for lunch and playtime. He had such a BLAST!! Thank you, Angie!! We love you!!
