Eastern Idaho State Fair 2010

On September 10th, we decided to head to the fair in Blackfoot, ID. There was my mother, Kristen, Sasha, Benjamin, Bridger, Koree, and myself and we had a great time! I tried my first ever fried twinkie, and it was divine. We got to see fresh pulled huckleberry taffy and Bridger got to feed the animals and he just lit up when he got to play with a puppy. It was simply adorable.

Korees starting kindergarten

Bridger and I happened to be in Pocatello during Koree's back to school night, so I went with my mom to meet his teacher and to get a look around. I can't believe it has been 5 years since he came into our life and he is headed off to kindergarten. Overall, I think he likes it and it will be fun to hear about all of his new adventures.

Finding a new way to get around

Bridger started crawling at 6 months and by 7 months he started standing up on things. Right before he turned 8 months old he figured out he could stand on this box and push it to walk places. This was until he got his new toy from Grammy Rushdi and he has loved it ever since!

Fun at the park

On one of Benjamin's days off we decided to head to the park. There isn't a park super close to us but this is the closest and it is manageable. I'm grateful that there are still parks around, especially because Bridger loves them so much already.

September 2010

September brought a few adventures and sometimes just some fun moments. Here are a few to share.
Bridger loves to jump in his crib (before we lowered the mattress)














Benjamin gets distracted a lot during his lunch hour sharing food with the baby














We took a little trip to check out the windmills in Idaho Falls. They are beautiful but for some reaon scare me just a tiny bit...

Big Springs

While we were in Island Park we had the chance to go to Big Springs and it was awesome! The water was clear and just beautiful! Bridger had a blast even though that we forgot to bring a stroller so we each tried to carry him for as long as we could. The pictures speak for themselves and there are some fish in the water, look close and you will see them.

Barney Family Reunion

On August 23-29th 2010 we had our first annual Barney Family Reunion in Island Park, ID. It was such a blast. Everyone was able to be there expect for Sam, obviously because he is still on his mission. We stayed at a little cabin called "Grandma's Cabin." We made crafts, ate yummy food, went to Big Spring, played a lot of games, and even water balloon volleyball which turned into a water fight (when doesn't it?)
Next year we are going to the Oregon Coast and I'm ecstatic!!! I can't wait for more family reunions to come.
