A Night of Carnies and a Day on the Lake...

Thursday night we took Price to the AR/OK State Fair. I know he's young and won't remember any of it, but we took lots of pictures for him to look at when he's older. We went to "Old McDonalds Farm", which is like a little petting zoo. He really didn't care either way for the animals even though his Mimmie tried and tried to get him into it. After that we rode the Merry Go Round. He watched all the lights go by the whole time. I think he really liked it. I was the one who looked like a freak as I sanitized the horse with a wipe and then covered it with a blanket so he could ride. Anyone who's ever been to the fair should be able to understand that though. Every year I think it gets dirtier, yet every year I go back. What can I say? Life just isn't complete without a night of fair food and Carnies.

We met up with my BFF Chelsea, her husband Johnny, and their son Alex. Alex and Chance (who he refers to as "my friend Chance") had a good time feeding the animals. He is so cute! Here is Chelsea with Price. She's having a little girl at the end of October. I can't wait!

Saturday we decided to take Price to the lake for the first time. Chance's brother Taylor invited us out on their boat. It was a beautiful day and not too hot. Plus, we ordered Price the coolest life jacket and wanted him to get to use it at least once this year. So I dressed him all up, lathered him down with sunscreen, and off we went. He crashed out in the car as soon as we left the house.
And as you can see, the way cool life jacket that I was so proud of was no fun at all to wear. The crying stopped as soon as we took it off.

4 Months Old!

I can hardly believe that our baby is four months old today! It has flown by so fast. Although it is incredibly fun watching him grow and change, it does make me a little sad that he's not tiny anymore. Here are a few new snapshots from last week and this weekend. Price doesn't know what to think of the Bumbo yet. Every time I put him in it he gives me this look like "what the crap?!" It cracks me up. He really wants to sit up though. If you try and lay him back on a pillow he pulls himself up. He has also started rolling over a lot. It's fun to be able to get down in the floor and play with him.
This is my favorite snapshot to date. I love his expression in it!

This is another small clip of Price's "talking". I know everyone might not be as obsessed with hearing him as I am, but I can't help but think it's the cutest thing ever.

New Pictures and Stories...

Ok, so I am a slacker when it comes to the blog. But give me a little credit. There are very few free moments in my day between working full time, taking care of Price, and other obligations. Anyway, here are some pictures from the last few weeks. First of all we started cereal. This is how it's been going...

1) Price tries to help me put the spoon in his mouth...


2) He makes a funny face, telling me that he likes it, but doesn't really know what it is...

3) He puts his fist in his mouth (maybe to help keep the food in) and makes a huge mess...

On Sunday afternoons we try to go to Dayton to my Dad and Steph's farm. Two Sundays ago we went and took Price on his 1st 4-wheeler ride. We went really slowly and were very careful. He really liked it though. I think he could have fallen asleep on it.(Oh, and if you notice, Chance is wearing his golf shoes. We had been at the driving range before the farm, and he didn't bring any extra shoes. However, I FINALLY learned to hit a golf ball!)

These are just some pictures we took of each other with Price. I think he looks like such a big boy in the one with Chance.


And last, but not least, we celebrated Lindy's 16th birthday on the 11th. Here she is posing with her prize birthday present, her new hair extensions. She is crazy obsessed with having long hair (even though it's already long if you ask me). I think it all goes back to that summer when she was three and I was bored. I got this brilliant idea that I would trim her hair, but somehow it ended up looking like I had put a bowl on her head and cut around it. It was over her ears. She cried for weeks that she would "never have a ponytail again." It's taken a lot of convincing, even with my license, for her to let me touch her hair again. Hopefully it will be long enough now!

On a side note, check out our new pictures of Price on his photo blog. Click on "Prices Photos" to the right. Also, if you go back to my August posts I just figured out how to post a couple of videos. They are a month old, and I just realized that they downloaded a long time ago. He's doing so much more now so we will try again soon.

Adventures from the Last Two Weeks....

On Saturday Mom and I took Price to meet his "Aunt Beck" for the first time. We had a fun lunch with her. It was also the first Razorback game of the season, so I had Price all decked out in his Hog Fan duds. I know all of you Utah people want to make fun of me now! Wooooo Pig Sooie~Go Razorbacks!!! (Go ahead and laugh it up Melissa :))


We were shopping the other night and Chance put Price on a skateboard for the first of many times to come. I know he had no idea what was going on, but he sure looked cute! Of course I had to take a picture.


We went to Taylor and Angela's one night last week so I could cut Chase's hair. I have to say I did a pretty darn good job giving Chase a "short, but still cool" haircut. I hope he liked it as much as I did! Here he is with Price and Chloe after I was done with his hair. Aren't they so cute?!

By the way, here is what his hair used to look like.....gotta love this kid! He dares to be different.
