August has a strong finish!

State Fair was awesome of course! So, good to see so many of my old friends. I really could live at the State Fair for the 11 days. Keep in mind my family thinks I am crazy. Kayla gave her pork demo the first weekend and received 1st place. She did a really good job! Next year we are thinking International Foods!

The second weekend of the fair the girl's and I went back to catch some of the shows that we missed. Such as the dog show and to be a part of the water bottle rocket launch. The Crook's and Maddie were with us and it was a nice relaxing day.

For my birthday we went to play Putt Putt with my sorority and many laughs were had. The best is watching the girls on to go cart track. Kayla almost passed Greg and Emily this year!

The last weekend of the month we meet Mom and Mike, Stacey, James, Josie and Jordyn and Pam at Big Cedar for a weekend get-away. Of course we hit SDC but we also just hung out at the pools at Big Cedar. I must tell you the place is really growing on me. We had a great time with the family and started planning the big vacation next year...looking like Wisconsin Dells.

School started for the girls and they are excited. Emily enjoys kindergarten and likes being at school with her sister. Kayla is doing well, but is going to be challenged this year now that she is a "big kid." :)

Last night I signed them up for dance class. It looks like Emily is on Monday's and Kayla is on Thursday's. We thought Kayla would also have to take a Ballet class on Tues but we lucked out and she was moved up, so all classes are on Thursday!
