Five days of Cousins

5 comments

Last Wednesday my sis-in-law, Bonnie, drove down with her three kids from Ohio. She picked me and the two kiddos up and we headed down to Monroe, GA to Amy's beautiful new home. That means there were nine children (seven and under), three mommies, two big wolf spiders in the window, one daddy and a partridge in a pear tree chillin' for five days. It was pretty crazy, but we had such a great time and the cousins all played together so well. Thanks Measers for opening up your home to everyone and being a great hostess and feeding everyone. Can't wait to go to Utah with you!

I don't usually like to do slide shows, but I took a ton of picts and Grandparents want to see them all. Enjoy!

Carnival!

3 comments

One of the greatest things about living in a small town, are the annual festivities. We have noticed the small carnival sponsored by the chamber of commerce before, but we never went. This year we thought Izzy would enjoy the smaller rides.


The rides were pretty rickety and none of the workers spoke English. It surprised me that Izzy didn't flip out when they picked her up and plopped her down in a ride. Most of the time she was the only one on the ride so they just let her keep on going around and around.

She may not have a joyous expression on her face, rest assured that she was anxious to get on the next ride. She talked about the carnival and the roller coaster for days.
Izzy's looking pretty nervous about this "roller coaster." Justin couldn't go with her because of the height restrictions. After the first turn she was holding on for dear life. I was a little nervous until both of her feet were safely on the ground. Even though she looks terrified, she did have a good experience and I think that she will be a roller coaster rider some day.
What about Wes? He was a pretty happy guy chillin' in his stroller, eating the straps.
