Western Idaho Fair

 This past Monday the Overall's went to the fair together for Family Night.We ate yummy food, wondered around and looked at all of the different booths, and then ate some more! Its terrible to admit but my favorite part of the fair is an ice cream potato. I have gotten one for the past several years and I just can't get enough!
Flynn next to the second place pumpkin! It makes me wonder what the 1st place pumpkin looked like. :)
Flynn trying to eat Miss Moo 
Peyton got a little tired from all of the walking so he traded Flynn for a while. 
Indian Fried Bread, a family favorite! 

Funnel cake! I'm pretty sure we have this same picture 3 years in a row now. 
Mommy and Flynnie 
Peyton riding the dragon roller coaster! All of the boys were cheering him on so that he would keep his arms up the whole time! 

I Love this photo of Madison! She is out of control hopped up on sugar and so silly!
Everyone watching signs be made. 
DONUTS! The final stop on the way out of the fair every year.

Elk City Days

A few weeks ago the Overalls went to Elk City for the Annual Elk City Days Festivities. We had a blast! There was a parade that the kids all got to be apart of riding their 4 wheeler's down Main Street. The remainder of the day we spent being apart of different competitions put on by the logging association.

Brailie, Brenton and Jayson 
Kellie and Anita on the Razor. The horns are showing spirit for the ATV Club that we are apart of. Its name is the Elk City Dust Devils so the horns fit.  

Sweet Addi 
Anita made signs for all of the Kids with their names. They were darling! Covered in glitter which then left everything else covered in glitter! :) 
Yummy! Poor Flynn, teething on anything and everything.

Here I am doing the rolling pin toss... I was terrible at it! Everyone got one practice and then 3 actual throws, needless to say I didn't get any of them through the hole.  
Kari on the other hand got two of her rolling pins through it.. 
Anita rocked it though! She beat out all of the other women and got all 4 of her throws including the practice through the hole. 
Anita and the kids with her trophy. 
Brenton putting a choker on a log. He beat out all of the other boys in his age group! 

Kari the Ax thrower! We all pushed Kari into this one, but she was a good sport about it. She had never thrown an ax before but got two of her three throws to stick beating out a woman that actually did know what she was doing. The real kicker of it was that she used the woman's ax because she didn't have one! Way to go Kari!



Jake and I competing in the Jack and Jill Log sawing contest. We got our fannies kicked in this event! The couple that beat us was in their late 50's and sawed clear through it in 29 seconds. It was incredible!  
Jayson and Brenton doing the father/ son log saw... I am so proud of Brenton; He and Jayson may not have had the fastest time but that was a big log and he never gave up! 

This guy here was so nice, he felt that Brenton had done a wonderful job and deserved a trophy even if he didn't do it in the fastest time so he gave up his trophy so Brenton could have one.  
Kari doing the women's log saw, ironically with the same girl that she beat in the ax throwing! 
Daddy is exhausted! 
Jayson and L.J. doing the men's cross cut. 

We had a fabulous weekend and look forward to this next year when we compete again!

Photography

The past few months I've been getting more and more into photography and I'm really loving it! I take my camera with me everywhere which may drive my family a little crazy but they are good sports about it. I'm posting some of the pictures I've taken at weddings, engagement photos and pictures of the kids over the past few months!
