The State Fair

This is made entirely of sand

So sweet

So Yummy

Ok you can tell who held the camera the majority of the time...

We also ate enough to be among the prized pigs( deep friend buckeyes, corn dogs, and maybe a huge cream puff )...but hey isn't that what the fair is all about? Also tons of fun with our dear friends the McFadden's who came with us and treat my children as if they are their own:)

Happy Birthday to my little lady Bug!!!

We love you!!!

What's better than getting your teeth cleaned??

Having your Dad do it:)

Sadie's Blessing and visit from Ryan's Parents

In October we blessed sadie..funny though my family was all able to come because they are from here but we have no pictures of them because sadie was sleeping. It was a great blessing. We are grateful for everyone that was able to be a part of sadie's special day!

Aunt Natalie

Grandpa John and JiJi Our Family..obviously a little wind blown

Our Sweet girl

Also when Ryan's dad was here they were able to go to the game..also 3 generations of Shurtz's

September trip to New England..Maine and Boston. We had so much fun! It is so beautiful! We were able to go spend time with Ryan's Aunt and Uncle in Maine for a week. they have a farm in Maine. It was fun to learn how to operate a small farm and grow and can your own food. I also witnessed dinner being killed... I am from the city so this was disturbing to me. Riley got some fresh air in his lungs as her literally ran with the animals all day long. It is so peaceful there. I would love to live there if I didn't like being around humans so much. We also got to take a quick trip to Boston...HIGHLY Recommend Boston to everyone! Also we were able to go to a little pennisula off of Maine called Bar harbor..breathtaking.

Beautiful Boston

Bar Harbor( Bah Harbah) in Maine..Gorgeous! Ryan enjoying himself
