The Utah County Fair and more

Here are a few pictures of some things we have been doing the last couple of weeks.

We bought Kenzie these sunglasses at the beginning of summer, but she wouldn't ever keep them on for more than two seconds, until one night before she was going to bed, she decided she wanted to wear them around the house so we had to take a picture.
Below is a picture of Kristee and Kenzie, with our nieces Rachel, Alison, and Katie at the Utah County fair checking out Kristee's favorite part of the fair - the sheep. Kristee use to raise sheep when she was younger and had a grand champion, so we always check out the sheep first when we go to any fair. We also got to watch the cow judging in this arena, and the girls and I could never pick the winning cow, but we had fun trying. How the heck are you supposed to know if a cow has a good loin??
Here is where we let Kenzie drive a tractor by herself at the fair. I told Kristee to stand back a little out of the picture, but notice that she didn't get too far.Kristee and I went to the demolition derby at the fair and had a great time. We got to see one car get high centered on the outside barrier, and another car got completely flipped over on its top and they had to bring out the jaws of life to get her out, but the very best part of the derby was checking out the amazing hairdos and mullets. Kristee snapped this great photo below. Check out this lady's bangs. I don't think I have seen bangs like those since my sister Cathy had them in the 80's.
And finally, to end this blog, here is a video of Kenzie making one of her first baskets on the real hoop. She loves to come out and try to play basketball with me, and last week she finally got brave and strong enough to put the ball in herself.

Kenzie is such an angel. She is always happy. Good for Jared to introduce basketball at such a young age :) You guys are great parents. We are excited to see your #2 arrive here safely.
