Grandma, you better close your eyes for the next two videos. Maddyn is getting really brave.

Fair

We went to the Monticello fair today. Maddyn jumped on the jump house castle and went down the huge slide. She was a little afraid of both. She also petted the pigs and sheep. Her favorite part of the day was either running through the kitchen at the restraunt or playing at the park. She climbed up to the slide all by herself and went down without any help.

After the fair, we came home and made 14 loafs of zuchini bread fresh from Papa's garden!!! Maddyn was a great help.

Lake Trip

We got to make our annual lake trip to Delta. It was fun to get down there again. Maddyn was kind of a party pooper. She refused to touch the sand and if she got any in her shoe she would cry. She also would not touch the water (which is weird because she is like a fish). Oh well, we had a blast and got to see our good friends for the weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Keli and family were greatly missed :( Maybe next year huh.

House

Has anyone ever driven by a house they used to own and been really sad. This happened to us last weekend. I am sure this is how everyone feels, but we were really sad about the yard. The first picture is what it looks like now, and the second and third one are what it looked like in May of 2008. Trevor loved that yard and you could tell by the lack of brown spots and dandilions. Oh well, we are just grateful we are still not paying for it :)

P.S. Trevor would have never allowed there to be sticks in the gutter and weeds on the road:)

New trick

Maddyn now wants to be on the counter when we are in the bathroom. She especially loves to shave with Daddy. She gets cream all over her so she has to get in the shower too.

Oregon Trip

The last part of July we went to Oregon to visit. While there, we got to see our beautiful cousin Kate. She was so much fun to play with. We also got to visit with our cousin Mckena and have a BBQ. Grandma and Grandpas house was so much fun. Ike was a blast to play with.

Then Daddy went to hike Mt. Shasta. It was a great experience. He got altitude sickness and everything. It is the 2nd largest volcanic mountain in the US (14,600 ft). It took them two days to hike the mountain. Dad was very tired when he got down.

Changes

I finally did it!!! I cut my hair off. It was weighing me down :) It is a little hard to get used to not flipping my hair out of my face or off my shoulders but I love it. Thanks Cami!!!
