Funnest Weekend Ever!

Yes, I'm fully aware that "Funnest" is not a word. Moving on...

The kids and I headed to Marcus Thursday night for the Marcus Fair! Maybe I'm just really lame, but this has to be my favorite weekend of the whole summer. It was the 75th Annual Fair and the town was full or people. My hometown has 1,200 people and I'm sure the town doubles in size during the fair weekend!

On Thursday night, we headed to watch papa play in a softball game. My dad played for a fastpitch softball team for several years while I was growing up. They had a bunch of the old timers come back to play another Marcus team. I think the players ranged from age 35ish-60 years old! So fun and the kids got to meet a lot of my friends. Papa did great too! Papa's team won 14-4 too!

On Friday, the kids got to ride on some rides! There were only 2 rides that they could really handle but they LOVED IT. Nothing cuter than watching the kids ride around on these little cars! We also participated in the Kiddie Parade. The kids were "Rub-a-dub-dub, 3 men in a tub!" We won 1st place in our catergory too! They wouldn't keep their hats on but they were still cute!

My bestie came to watch the kiddos in the parade.

Addie, Brady and Cousin Molly in the jeep. I can't even explain how big Brady would smile when he was on this ride!

Saturday-The best part of this weekend was spending time with my best friend, Brooke. She was home for her bridal shower. I am her maid of honor in November and I cannot wait! She got lots of awesome presents. Saturday night, we had a little Girl's Night out with her, too. I wish she lived closer. I hate seeing this girl only a few times per year!   We also watched the parade with the kids and they really loved it. I thought they would be scared of the loud firetrucks but they loved it!


The bride-to-be!

The girls!
On Sunday, I played in a mud vball tourney and my team WON! We beat a team that had won the last 4 years in a row. Long day but so fun!  The kids rode on more rides and were beat by Sunday night. This mommy was too! I can't explain to you how much fun I had this weekend seeing so many good friends and family! More pics to come--mom has most of them on her camera!

To blog..or not to blog???

Ok....I need to know. You reads my blog? I like blogging and for those of you that don't know, I plan on making a book when I'm done. There are companies/websites that you send your blog to and they make a book. Thought the kiddos would like it when they were older.

So anyway, Who reads this? I can think of at least 20 people that I know read it regularly. Am I wasting my time if there aren't a lot of readers?? Text me, facebook me OR comment on this post and let me know if you're a faithful reader PLEASE!!! Commenting on this post would probably be easiest. You don't have to create an account if you don't want to. I think you can post anonymously if you want! Thank you!!
