Kentucky State Fair

This past Saturday we took our annual trip to the fair grounds. This was our 3rd year and it was lots of fun. I just got a great side by side double stroller so it was easy to haul both girls and all our stuff all over the fair grounds. We saw lots of farm animals that Lilith loved. We got to see the Looney Toons, show/trick pigs, high flying frisbee catching dogs, tight rope walking tigers, Travis Tritt and much much more. We only had one melt down in the day when the girls were tired and so sweaty from sitting outside waiting for the pig show to start. We were there for a total of 7 hours. whew! We were all exhausted by the time we left and all slept well that night. You all should join us next year. We'd love to have you.

To add to Jackson's comment you can add comments as yourself if you type in your own google name and password. But the way this page is set up I don't think we could post as ourselves unless Katie changed some of the settings.

Glenn Duffy here we come

Hello ya'll!! Depending on if you are talking to a native Arkansasan, you may hear this phrase. In the area we live, there a lot of locals. There is either the ones who have moved hear in the past 5 years because of Wal-mart, or they have been born and raised in the same community, give or take a few miles. It is fun to be part of a small town community where everyone knows everyone and family is real important. We have a lot of country kids. I am excited to get to know more and more families in the area. Jackson and I want to be a part of the community and the school. Well you are probably wondering what is "Glenn Duffy" - it is the name of the school Sally and Rex will be attending on Monday. This past Thursday, we went to the school to meet their teachers' and drop off school supplies. Rex's teacher is a young and cute gal - Miss Steele. He gets kind of bashful and giggly when you ask him if he likes his teacher. It is real cute. Sally's teacher is Miss Bontke. She is older but seems on top of things. She guessed Sally's name and made her feel right at home. Miss Bontke wants to have parents help in the class room - so I hope to be a part of Rex and Sally's lives while at school. There is a big room for parent volunteers and has an area with toys, TV, couch for the kids. I feel like I will have more flexibility in my schedule to go to the school and help and interact with the older kids, since I will only have 2 kids at home. I wanted to remind all of you to make comments on any of our posts by clicking on the comment link at the bottom of each post. And then check the comments each time you log on so you can see what others have posted about each of our individual posts. Does that make any sense?Well Kassi just woke up so I am going to stop for now. Hey I really like this blogging thing. Now we all just need to be regular on posting so things from our lives.Oh, Jackson and Rex are digging holes for our clothes line. Great thing about living in the country is that you can hang out your underwear and no one can complain. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA !!
