Hellllloooooo November!!


The biggest Corn Dogs ever!! Jake usually hates these but loved them at the fair!

Nicky loving every minute of it!

First ride all by himself he was so stoked!!

Wango Tango...I am feeling nautious..ugh!


Fine dining.


Nicholas had to be out of his mind!

I think the games were one big set up, I believe they had a button on the floor they pushed with their feet & chose the winners not fair:)!


ate the whole thing!!
I admit it! I have been lousy about blogging lately...why?? I have been busy!! It starts every year with the Arizona State Fair..it's almost as if after that November & December turn into a whirlwind of holidays and events and preparation. This year I so enjoyed the fair, we got there early in the day and spent no less than 8 hrs. playing games, riding all sorts of rides, going through fun houses & haunted houses, petting farm animals, eating junk food, sliding down slides, and getting completely worn out on what proved to be an unusally windy day! the highlights of the evening were Nicholas' trip on the Zipper with Charlie..his courage soon turned to fear as Charlie put it he was cussing like a sailor & I didn't blame him a bit! It was the first year Jake was able to ride rides by himself and he loved every minute of it from the bumper boats to the mini roller coaster...Logan wasn't as daring but still went on his share of rides and we actually won some pretty neat stuff playing games this year, including a huge yellow banana! What do you even do with something like that? But for me this was almost a life changing event! ( Well sort of) Charlie insisted I go on the most humungous ferris wheel even, I mean this thing was enormous. I haven't rode on one since I was a kid as in my old age I am afraid of heights...scardey cat really! I gave in as I had no choice and got in line, all the while thinking of the ferris wheels of my youth, little wooden benches with a steel bar over the front, rocking back and forth on top of the world...god how dangerous is that! This particular one was the biggest out of three there but it had a semi closed in pod which u got into..Did I tell you it was windy?? Super windy?? Well getting on this thing I saw the guy who ran it via computer from inside this little glass box in the middle and he looked pretty scary, I had my doubts but we waited forever to get on... Almost immediately I started bawling like a baby and almost hyperventilated as I clutched onto Charlie and buried my head in his lap and refused to move..only when we were taking our last to spins did I open my eyes and was wowed overlooking all the lights and the valley. It was so beautiful& I overcame my fear!! Besides Charlie rode the Tango...for those of you who are not familiar with the godawful Tango you are suspended in mid air with nothing other than a chast harness holding you in as it flings you upside down and round and round and side to side (think out of control windmill) I think the boys once had a toy like that...but thats beside the point..all the while techno music playing and sirens blaring....god I think I am dizzy need to stop typing!!!
