2008 County Fair

We took Nina to the County Fair last night.

She had SO MUCH FUN!

We didn't get an elephant ear (boo!) but I might go back

on Thursday just to get one! Ha ha ha ha!

Waiting in line for the airplanes.


Look! PURE ENJOYMENT!


Waiting for the balloon ride to start.

This little boy sat in there and it was love at first sight!
She kept asking "Are you ready!?" So cute!

His mom made him come over and give her a hug after.

His name was Ethan. He was so cute!

Apparently all the SLEEPING animals were loud!

This was after the cows...she did NOT like them.

I accidently took this shot, but it came out kinda cool.

Even though they are in cages, she did NOT like these either!

I swear, she's going to be afraid of EVERYTHING!

Watching Chicago.

Here comes the "I dont want to go home yet" fit.

More of the fit...

Sooooooooo sleepy! That's what happens when you
don't take a nap during the day!

BOWLING!

This morning we took Nina bowling.

She had SO much fun!

On the score screen, it's Nina, Me, and then Tim.

I won't be able to bowl in a few more months,

So I wanted to do it before I got too big...hahaha.

Outside on Aug. 10 '08

We were outside watching Daddy pull weeds

and I saw a window of time where I could get

some good shots of Nina just standing around.

The last one just breaks my heart...

looks like a modeling pose!

Nina's First Video Game

For Nina's 3rd Birthday we bought her this V.Smile.

She concentrated REALLY hard when playing last night.

Concentrated SO hard that she bit her lip...twice!

Of course she has a fit everytime we make her put the game away.

What kid wouldn't!?

What A View!

We were driving around after dinner (Olive Garden)

and We saw this AMAZING sunset and I said outloud:

"I wish I had my camera here..."

And BAM! There it was..WEIRD!

So I took some pictures...most are blurry because we

were on the highway...couldn't keep a steady hand.

These pictures don't even do the view justice.

It was breathtaking!

Vacation! (Day 3)

So Friday we headed a little up north to Fort Stevens/Astoria.

There was this cool shipwreck that we got out and checked out.

If it was lowtide, we would have been able to climb on it.

Friday we also had Tim's cousin's wedding to attend.

The wedding was actually on the beach..was beautiful.

The toddlers were all playing in the sand..kinda funny.

Then there was a reception in their resort...

I didn't know how to take pictures of people inside with my camera

so there aren't any...ha ha ha ha.

This sign is on the outskirts of all the towns on the coast.

Kinda freaky. I like how the guy is climbing the wall.

---------------------------------

Here are the pictures from the wedding.

This little boy was SO CUTE!!! Look at his curls!!!

And he would NOT stop eating sand..SO FUNNY!

Jason and Nikki after the ceremony.
This was the only "good" picture I got of them together...

Their BEAUTIFUL cake!!!!

Vacation! (Day 2)

Thursday morning we went beach combing at 7 30 am.

It was so much fun! Nina loved picking up all the shells.

It was her 3rd Birthday, so Tim wrote her a message...

Tim's family also had a bbq for her (and tims aunt) on the beach.

LOTS and LOTS of fun!!!! We got rained out after 3 hours though.

We went to Cannon Beach but didn't actually stop.

I wanted to get a picture of Haystack Rock.

Do YOU know what movies it has been in?!

(Goonies, 1941, and Kindergarten Cop)

How many men does it take to start a fire?




Tim going to get wet sand for Nina to build with.

Calvary bringing in the wood!



Jayden is one of Tim's younger cousins.

Here's some of the group that was there..boozin' and eatin'...
