Play Time

My sister Jennifer and niece Alivia came over Sunday for a visit! Alivia and Max had a great time playing together! Max was determined to not give up his new turtle.

Silly Bands

Has anyone else noticed the silly band craze? I seen these things everywhere and all on ages of kids! My nieces and nephew are no different, they have also joined in on the fad.

Clark Family Photos

Sunday morning I took some pictures of the future Clark family. On September 11th my sister Jennifer and her fiance Drew will tie the knot! I am so excited for my sister Jennifer and niece Alivia. Jennifer wanted to place some pictures around her reception of her family! So of course she asked me to snap a couple shots of the happy family! I had a blast and I think they turned out pretty well!

Friends

Last night Eric and I headed to Fort Wayne to spend some time with friends. We were all going to go to the 3-Rivers festival but the rain put a damper on our night. The rain may have stopped us from attending junk food alley but it did not stop the fun. We decided to go to Snickers Comedy Club. The headliners were Johnny Beehner and Mike Marvel. We all had a great laugh and a great night!

4-H Parade

Last night Eric and I along with the Brouwer's attended the annual 4-H parade. I was an active 4-H member all though my youth. Most of summer memories consist of 4-H memories. My sisters and I made the best of fair week. We stayed at the fair all week tending to our animals but mostly just socializing with all our friends. My parents let us do as many project in 4-H as we wanted. I took pigs, chickens, rabbits, and goats for the animals. I also entered sewing, craft, food, and photography projects. The only championship I ever won was green bean casserole and if you know me well you know that green bean casserole is my all time favorite food.

Some of my fair memories I will not share....I would not want to get my sister's (Jennifer and Brandy in trouble)...One of the best nights of fair was auction night. After the auction and the awards we would have spirit night. Spirit night consisted of a crazy obstacle course you had to complete with your team. Whichever team had the best time won the competition and received a prize. For several years a group of my girlfriends and I had a team call the Bombshell Babes....but you know teenage girls we got in a fight over something...(honestly I bet not one of us could tell you what the fight was about now)...but I do remember we were a group divided. Janell, Tiffany, Jennifer, and I left the Bombshell Babes and created our own team. We named our new team Chicks and Hicks. We ask a couple of our guys friends to be on our team!! After the competition Bombshell Babes and Chicks and Hicks made up and the rest is history (but I still like to tease my friend Heather that she was trader for not leaving the team with us)! I could go on and on about funny 4-H memories. What a great way to spend my summers during my youth!
