Cowby Carnival 2008

Despite heavy rain for four days straight before the carnival, we still had a good turnout. We did have to cancel the horse races because the track was so wet, but a lot of people came to have fun anyway. It threatened to spit rain a few times, so we rushed to set up tables and chairs inside, but of course as soon as we did that it cleared up! It really was a blessing. We had a great band for live entertainment that helped keep a good crowd around for the live auction. My dad (Ipa to Natalie) and his friend Jimmalea came for a few days, and that was a huge help. They had Natalie most of that day and then let me sleep a lot Monday when I was sick. We've all been battling a bad cold/sore throat at our house for weeks, and mine peaked this weekend! Kyle was gone (still is) to North Dakota again, but Aunt Karrie and Cousin Madison came out to visit, too, so it's been a lot of fun. Here are a few pics from Sunday with our sunny weather...


The BBQ was great!

Cousins are fun to hug!


Natalie dancing...she really has a great sense of rhythem (is that spelled right?) and dances to the beat most of the time. She gets that from Daddy and all their dancing sessions in the playroom.

WOW! I wish that we could have made it down for that. The thought went through my mind lots, but I wasn't sure about leaving Grady to sit here "just in case he got called out".
