meet some "fair" friends

Meet Coy: Wait, you already know him. :) This however, is Cold Coy.

Last Thursday morning we went to the fair to watch our friend Cody's (we'll get to him in a bit) pig be judged. It was pretty cold though, but you'll get to see who kept him warm.

It was Leilani Price! Leilani has been in our field for the summer, and just went to her new field (good thing it's close by though), and we will miss her! She kept Coy pretty warm, and he's discovered a new great friend in her!

Next, you can meet Karen Tenniswood! She is our older (elder, more like, not older...lol) She is an awesome friend to the kids (and us), and is super handy around the house. She helped us fix the oven this weekend, and FOUND OUR KEYS FOR US!!! I lost the van keys Tuesday night, and searched the house thouroughly, and they were no where to be found. Logan looked. Coy looked. Bentley bugged us while we looked. haha. They were just gone. Then, in came Karen. She looked. And, she found!! They had fallen off the ledge and behing the piano (where we had already looked numerous times), but she thought to actually look INside the piano, and there they were! What a joyous celebration there was!! :)

This gentle lady LOVES horses :)

I would introduce you to this super large horse, but he doesn't have a name. And, he's so large he's rather intimidating.

And, here is Shelby Coleman! She's a spunky, and very, very active kindergartener!! Her mom's name is Bonnie. Her dad's name is Lyle and she has two big brothers, Chance and Cody. She is a fun friend for Coy to have, and keeps him tough :)

And here is Cody! He was showing his pig here,and did an excellant job! He sold his pig for $3.57/lb!! Logan, being a retired FFA member, and former pig showman, was pretty impressed :) Cody and Coy are super good friends, too! He takes special interest in Coy, maybe because they share the same birthday??Iforsee some rather wild birthday parties together :)

Below Cody, is him and his dad, Lyle (in the maroon vest). Lyle helped "control" the pigs. When I say control, I say it in all seriousness. Pigs are nasty! They fight, and bite, and scream, and trample! Maybe they just get overwhelmed at the fair, cause we sure haven't seen Papa's pigs do that!

Here is a goat, owned by a friend, Kaisa.(in the whilte shirt) It was a minature goat of some sort, and won first in it's little class. Cute, huh? I'm thinking we'll get one! (don't tell Logan yet. he'll find out soon....heehee)

 

You have already met him, but here's Daddy. He's the best, and also known to be the best husband ever, too! I think that the whole looks better from on top of daddy's shoulders!

Karen & Leilani were at our house Fri and Sat night. They love to play with the boys, and Karen even changed a diaper or two :) Here, she is reading Coy a bedtime book. I'm not sure who it put to sleep first, her or Coy, but both were sleeping before the end of the book!

 And because he hasn't been mentioned yet, here is Bentley Armour. Drink this little grin in, because in about 10 seconds, it goes from THIS.......

to THIS

As sweet and pleasant as he seems, these days have been far from it. He's teething, having digestive issues, just moved to a weird new house, and is so antsy he's about to crawl!! All this frusteration and uncomfortable-ness leads to screaches, cries, and faces like this one. Sigh. It WILL pass, right??.......

RIGHT??
