Just some recent pics.....

A couple weeks back we went to Kings Island with Jason and Jami and went to a Toby Mac and Newsboys concert. We rode rides during the day and stayed late to watch the concert. It was super fun and super hot. It was great to spend time with just the older kids, we don't do that a lot. I have learned that while I still consider myself a thrill seeker at heart, well, my stomach doesn't always agree. Bummer.

Here is the concert!


Leah, Logan, Ethan and Sophie waiting in line for a ride. FYI, this was the line where a very stinky, hairy guy had no sense of personal space. Then, said guy sneezed all over me. No lie. Totally grossed me out. EW!



This is Leah's yeast bread place setting from last week. Simple and lovely I think.



Leah with her place setting, right before judging. Really the judging has a lot to do with how thoroughly you fill out your book, how well you test on the skillathons, your interview, your place setting and it is almost as if how your food tastes is the least of their worries. Trust me, you want it to taste good, but it is more about what you learned in the process. Leah won't even take food to the Ohio State Fair for judging. With that being said, her cinnamon rolls were amazing! After we were all done, the judge came back up to her and asked for another cinnamon roll for the other judges to try. Um yes, this will be our new cinnamon roll recipe.

Not the best picture, but this will probably be Leah's silky fair trio (two hens and a rooster). See how red the comb is on the roo? Not such a good thing, but we are unsure how big of a deal it is.

This week will be a bit of a break before a crazy couple weeks. Next week will be down right nuts!
