We have been able to spend a lot of time with family, since we have been back.
All of the cousins came over one night for some dutch oven dinner, and playing in the hot tub.
It is always a little bit of chaos, when we are all together, but we love it, and the kids love being together.
Over Labor Day, we headed to my hometown for Leamorado Days...of course. My mom is the mayor now (I know...isn't that cool?), so we had a lot to do, to put things together. It was a fun day.
I'm pretty sure I have this same picture from last year. Maxwell is just a little smaller.
This sweet tractor was one of the raffle prizes. We actually won it this year. I was so excited! I have probably only missed a couple of Leamorado Days since I was 4, and this is my first prize to win!
New to the festivities this year, was a little train for the kids to ride. It was a huge hit. My kids would have ridden in it all day long!
Maxwell took a little snooze on dad's lap, while he drove the train around.
Our little cowgirl
Matt had convinced Savannah that she wanted to ride the sheep. He did a good job of it, because when she thought she wasn't going to be able to, she was sobbing. Low and behold, they decided to let some more kids try, so they ran out there. Immediately after taking this picture, and right before they let the sheep go, she changed her mind. I think she had in mind riding a sheep like a horse where you go for a little ride, until you are ready to get off, and the sheep stops to let you off. It probably didn't help for her to see every other kid that had tried it come walking our of the arena in tears. (I secretly am glad she didn't ride it, but don't tell my hubby.)
Savannah and Connor, checking out the cows.
Savannah wanted me to take a picture of her snazzy new boots. She is pretty proud of them.

That is always fun to get together with cousins. Especially when you haven't seen them for a long time. I sure missed Leamorado days. I was just about to drive home that morning but Gary needed the car. So jealous that you won that cute little tractor. My boys would love it. I bet Maxwell is having so much fun with it. I love Savannah all dressed up like a cowgirl. She is so cute. I love her boots.
Shouldn't the fact that your mom is the Mayor make you uneligible to win that tractor? I'm just sayin....haha. That thing is sweet. Cydnee rode a sheep at the fair when she was 4 years old. I was scared to death but Cyd thought it was pretty cool!
Savannah is the cutest little cowgirl I have ever seen!! I sure miss you guys, but it looks like you're having a blast!! Love ya!
