Vaughn & Alison: August

This August has been exceptionally busy. Between Vaughn going back to school, his calling, our little lawn mowing side business and his full time job, we have been running almost every single night. It has really made us stop and enjoy the little free time that we have. We were able to go to the Jerome parade and to the fair and it was great to see friends and watch the kids pig wrestle!

The kids and I had fun watching the parade, until Vaughn's office came by and the kids took off with Vaughn and the rest of them! I'll tell you what. Kids really do make the parade fun. Malita and I were quite bummed with no kids to run out and bring us back candy!

Tays stayed with us and he got caught in the line of fire with the squirt guns! It cooled him off, but he didn't like it much!

Later we headed down to the fair for the pig wrestling. My three older kids were all on teams and they were so excited! I was a little nervous that Sam would get cold feet, but nope! She made me proud and was such a good little pig wrestler, even if she didn't get the ribbon off the pig!

Mason with his back to the camera! He tried so hard to get that darn pig!

Drew's team trying to get the blasted pig in! They were so close, but the time ran out right before they got it in!

We enjoyed more time at the movies!!

We were able to go to Salt Lake to celebrate my dad's birthday and Vaughn's parents 50th wedding anniversary! Aug 16th is a big day in both of our families. On my side it is my dad and his twin's birthday AND their little brother's birthday as well. On Vaughn's side it is his parent's wedding anniversary, the birth/death date of his oldest brother, David, and his nieces Annie (& Abby, deceased) birthdays.
