Brighton Dancing and Walking

Weber County Fair

So as most of you know I am from Evansville Indiana home to the Vanderburg county fair which I NEVER missed growing up and it included demo derbys, country concerts, motocross racing and the main event tractor pulls. Its was a big deal and a big social event and I loved the tractor pulls. The summer after me and Austin first were married I took him to said tractor pull....they had maybe 2 pulls and he was done thats about 20 minuets MAYBE. Absolutly thought it was lame and a waste of time and let me tell you I considered leaving him home. ANYWAY since he has started working at John Deere all the sudden tractors and combines and general farm equipment is cool :) How the tides have changed :) So he let me repeat HE wanted to go down to the county fair this year and we had a great time. They had a main event that was awesome! Combine demo derby it was insane seeing thousands to a million dollars worth of equipment being used that way which made it even more fun. Brighton loved it there was a petting zoo and he was a bit shy of most of the animals till he saw the white ducks....he took after them like crazy, because of course they were quaking a sound that sounds an awful lot how Brighton talks at times :) Austin had a ginormous Turkey leg and funnel cake while I stuck with just staying hydrated. It was great that we could finally enjoy such an event as a family and Austin was happy as could be watching all that engineering try to ram each other to the death. Much love to everyone from Iowa :)

All ready for the fair

John Deere Waterpark Day

We had our first John Deere company outing last week saturday to Lost Island Waterpark. It was so much fun! Brighton who usually has about a 2 hour maxiumum being happy stayed for 4 hours and was sad to leave but unfortunatly the poor little guy inherited my genes as far as severe lack of pigment in his skin and me knowing this sunscreened him up 3 times during our duration with some seriously heavy duty sunscreen and yet we both got out of their burned and were applying aloe to him and myself for the next three days. BUT he had a blast playing with the other kids in the kiddie park and climbing the stairs and going down the slide. By far austins favorite part was when we took him in the lazy river with us. We had been out for about 3 hours and Brighton was getting tired and so he just snuggled up to his dad as they went around the lazy river still interested in the water and what was going on and he even grabbed the handle of the intertube to try and steer but mostly he just cuddled up with dad it made Austins whole week. Sweet moments get you through parenthood I've learned and you tend to remember those times very vividly. For me however I get a double dose I get to see him being sweet during the everyday and I love just as equally seeing Austin just be sweet as can be with Brighton they certainly love each other and its always fun for me to see.
