The State Fair Part 2: PM

We got the girls settled w/ Maga & headed back to the State Fair around 4pm.

It was a beautiful day... not too hot but cold... at least not until evening. We weren't expecting Jason till quite a bit later... so we 3 enjoyed perusing the fair... listening to bands etc. We found Larry & Nick's booth (friends from church) where they're selling tubular lighting... so Johnny pulled up a chair & chatted while Naomi & I shopped!

It was really fun to be able to take the time to peruse the booths w/out having to think about kids... and how long you have till they'll need to move on, go potty etc. It was fun!I let a lady curl my entire head of hair w/ her straightener/curler thingy-ma-bob. I want one now! (: (Side note: my hair had gone straight over the past year. The dr. said it is most likely a post-pardum affect. My pregnancy hormones did it... it just took a year to grow & and really be obvious. It has virtually no curl left. I decided that if I have to be styling my hair w/ heat daily, I should prob. get a styler that causes the least amount of damage. It was so sad watching her curl my hair. I miss my curly hair so much!!! ): ) Ok... ANYWAYS>>>>
Here's the curly look! It's fun! (:
When Jason arrived around 8... we headed to the carnival.
The guys rode a topsy-turvy-scary-ish ride... a
nd then we headed to the romantic ride..... the giant ferris wheel!
Isn't it pretty at night?
Waiting for the ride... the guys just LOVE getting their pixs taken:
Naomi got this cool shot from inside the Ferris Wheel.It was so fun to be way up high over the fair.
Def. worth it to ride this ride!

Lastly... Naomi & I headed over to listen to a country band while the guys did.. guy things...
We asked someone to snap our picture:

Overall we had a lovely, lovely day & night!
We love doing things w/ Jason & Naomi & having them so near us!
We are so appreciative to DHS for the free tickets...
and to Maga for watching our kids until 10:30!!!!!!!!!!
(I don't know how they managed to stay awake that late!.
I guess Natalee finally asked to please go to bed!)
& to the dutch bro's guy for the free tickets for J & N!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
