Busy end of the week

Well, lets see. . . .
Haley and Laura came to visit and spend the day on Wednesday. Tacey took over all baby duties once she got home from Cross Country practice. But before then, Haley decided that Dallin is the BEST THING TO WATCH! He danced around and she watched him intently. Then when he left the room she got SO MAD! So, as the gentleman he is, he returned to entertain her some more. It was a nice visit. See how big Haley is getting?

Haley and her favorite entertainment; Dallin!
Haley and Mac.
Big Girl Haley; 3 weeks and 1 day old!

Then Thursday Tacey ran a Cross Country meet and came in Second for the girls in her school. She has made enough of an impression on her coach he has told her to run with more experienced runners so she can get faster. More importantly, she is having fun! On another positive note, I didn't end up teaching Agriculture that day - that is a good thing.

Friday we decided to go to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. We had two goals; to eat as much as we could, and to eat as much as we could. Isn't that what the fair is for? We saw the usual Horses, Cows, Pigs, Goats, Rabbits, Pigeons, Sheep, Chickens - OH! CHICKENS!

(I can't seem to get away from chickens, *sigh*)

There was this really crazy bad-perm chicken there! I had to take his picture! He or she (?) looks NOTHING like the chicken that tried to live in our garage.

His (her?)feathers are curly!
(The fact I don't know whether it is a him or a her is further evidence that I should continue to stay out of agriculture classes.)

We also saw Tacey's 4-H submissions to the Fair. She won blue ribbins for both.

This is her survival kit; complete with freeze dried Ice Cream. (That was her Dad's idea.) She decided she would be depressed if she was lost and the Ice Cream would be a necessity. Leave it to her Dad to have freeze dried ice cream in the emergency kit. . .

This is a game she made for Science Class that taught the circulatory system.
They also had a lot of fun inter-active science exhibits there. The boys enjoyed them alot.

In the end, I got my Corn Dog, Scones, and Chocolate Dipped Strawberries so I was good.

Tacey ran another race today, and although we don't know the official placing yet, we think she came in the the first 15 or so; out of over 100 girls. Official results to come when we get them. . .

Happy Day!
