Oregon State Fair

Well, we spent the last 11 days of summer at the Oregon State Fair. It was provided us with sore feet, greuling hours, and the whole reason we were there, business! We did well this year, praise the Lord! We also got to have some fun!! The kids went to a couple of concerts, Joe Nichols and Craig Morgan, actually I got to see Craig Morgan too. Well, in all honesty Shawn and I were blessed enough to be able to get backstage and meet the fella!! He signed a t-shirt for us to auction off at a benefit we are planning in May 2008 and spent a few minutes visiting with us. What a great guy! He has such a sense of humor!!

It is back to school today and it has been quiet. Shawn and my dad are up at the Fair grounds tearing down the booth and hope to be done tonight, but may have to go back tomorrow! The kids would go and watch the hypnosis act every day, sometimes twice a day because they found it so funny! Shelby worked every day of the fair at a booth that sells leather purses and wallets and she made a bunch of money. She was so responsible!! I know she was beat, but she really took the bull by the horns and finished out what she said she would do. We are very proud of her. The boys took a friend to the fair and ran into an old friend so they had a ball playing around and attempting to pick up on the girls. . . not sure how I feel about that one! : ) At least there were 4 Christian boys together and the could hold each other accountable so I am comfortable with that.

That is it for now!
