Our family has been trying to make the most of this last burst of summer. Here is what we have been up to...
On the 15th, last Saturday, we ate cupcakes! Gorged ourselves really. 1st ever cupcake competition in the Linen Building downtown, and we were there! Hundreds of cupcakes were submitted for judging & the public could buy tickets to eat up the cupcakes after judging. Our neighbor, Cory, watched our boys. Although, had they known what we were up to, they never would have allowed it. We will all be attending this next year, fo' sho!
These were in the Youth Competition!
Spud cupcakes.
These were Matt's picks; (we each could pick 3)Zucchini Huckleberry, Triple Chocolate, & the 5 layer Science Experiment some guy sold him on. He LOVED the zucchini one, I told you he is becoming a vegan!
My 3 picks; Chocolate Chili, Triple Coconut, & Lemon Marscapone. The coconut was the BEST.
The insane cabbage farming came to a head..haha
Parker & Kaleb participated in a contest for school, they each received a seedling.These are the fruits of our labor. There is a prize involved so we have our fingers crossed.
Kaleb's: 7lbs
PJ's: 9lbs.
Nampa PAL football started last week for Parker & Kaleb. Our boys are on the same team this year, in hopes they will help each other & we won't have so much running around to do. We are all learning to accept the new team, The Eagles.( The Wolf Pack, the team Parker played on last year, has been merged with another team from last year. They got to keep their name-BOO!) This is the team they worked hard to defeat last year in the championship game last fall. This has been hardest for Parker, & myself. I just have SO much purple/wolf fan gear! Do you know how hard that is to come by?! Now we are green/Eagles, will you keep a look out for good stuff for wild parents to sport on the sidelines? Thanks.
We made our way back to Roaring Springs for the 7th time or so. Not too great for buying season passes but it felt good. I hope we can get there a few more times.
Matt & I celebrated our 9th anniversary, again. We have 2, one is the 18th of August & the Caldwell Night Rodeo is a anniversary tradition of ours. This year we celebrated with some friends from work.
Charlie + Holly = Harley :)
Jason & Laura
The newlyweds, Martin & Andrea
Fawn & Becca
The boys got to stay with my mom for the night of the rodeo. She is a proud North-Ender so when we picked the boys up we stayed to play at Camel's Back Park. This is a year round favorite for our family & it was a perfect day for this yesterday.
Then we passed these folks on the Tour De Fat. Try explaining this to a 9 yr. old! ( The other boys needed no explanation I guess.)
This is our new favorite, Big City Downtown. Their monster sized baked goods & the ability to stalk our friend Biggs who works there, have us sold!
Wow! The end! Thanks for reading, man do I feel loved!
