FRIENDS DAYS!
Riley and Austin
Ella and Alyssa, sharing!
You can see Taylor, Riley and Maurie working in our yard pulling weeks. I paid each of them a dollar for a garbage sack full of weeds. My kids worked like crazy so they would have money to buy cotton candy at the carnival in the evening.
Jaxson, exhausted from the weed pulling!STRAWBERRY DAYS!
We met us with Cheri, Steve and Hope at the carnival. The rides were expensive, but the kids just LOVED them!

Our cute Taylor!
Dave took Alyssa on the Ferris Wheel. She loved it! Don't they look like they are having a great time?
Hope and Austin!
Here are Dana and Landon. We met up with Dana and Yolanda at the carnival. They are always so much fun!
Here's.......JAX!
The kids loved the little roller coaster
COTTON CANDY!The kids finally got their cotton candy. Four dollars a bag! Crazy!
The final ride: Here is the ride that the kids had to go on twice!
Look at how the ride whipped the kids over to the side of the chair!
Another great shot!A STOP AT THE FIRE STATION
On our way to the car, we stopped at the Fire Station. One of the firemen gave us a tour. Our children loved the experience and we learned a lot. Here are some of our favorite pictures:
Learning about fires.......
Taylor got to sit in the million dollar fire truck!
Cutie Pie, HOPE!
Listening, Learning, Dreaming
Hope is so sweet with Alyssa. She helped me so much and the kids love her so much too.
AUSTINAt the end of the tour, the kids go to try on the gear.
I love how Austin is looking up in adoration.
JaxsonHe was so cute in the gear. Kind of gave a crazy look at the end, but too cute!
TAYLORHere's our girl! She always has the greatest smile!
FATHER'S DAY 2010
We met over at the Johnston's home for brunch at 10am before church at 11. Jen made a delicious breakfast for us: waffles with strawberry and whipped cream, sausage, bacon, juice & chocolate milk. Yolanda brought deviled eggs, I brought apple & walnut stuffed pancakes and Merideth donated homemade syrup (to die for). 
GREATEST DAD!I love this picture of Dave wearing his crown
Steve and Dana
Steve, Dana, Dave and NateWonderful friends and fathers
This picture cracks me up. Steve is welcoming everybody to the first and last annual Father's Day brunch (since Steve and Jen are moving). We have spent our last several years of Father's Day with them. It is crushing to have them leave.
Part of our breakfast spread....
Alyssa and Ella, communicating before their dining experience!
Cute, Cute, Cute!
Breakfast Fun
Later in the evening, after church and naps, we went over to Dave's sister's home for a Father's Day BBQ. Here is a picture of Poppie with our children.

Let me end by expressing my love to my own dad on Father's Day! Thanks for a lifetime of example and counsel. Thanks for encouraging me to live the best life for myself and for my little family. Happy Father's Day!
XOXO Jody

The kids look like they are having so much fun at Strawberry Days - even if it did put you in the poor house. We're too cheap and too lazy to do anything fun like that with our kids. We prefer to sit inside the house on the beautiful summer nights, get cabin fever, and push each other's nerves.
Love the Father's Day crowns and the way you celebrated the great fathers in your life. As for us, Jared got a card and once again, his gift for Father's Day this year was that I let him be a father. I suck.
Sure love the Lindsay fam! I'm sorry your friends are moving. I know we can't be a replacement for a brother from a different mother, but maybe we can help fill in some of the holes when they leave???
Loved this post, it's what summer is all about! We usually go to the Strawberry Days carnival, but we go Wednesday night, because it's family night and the tickets are alot cheaper! But this year the weather was bad Wednesday night night, so the kids were really bummed. They couldn't understand why we couldn't take them Friday or Saturday. We told them we would have to go to Steel Days.
Love your Father's Day breakfast idea! How fun!
