The life of Courtnie and Asher: 24th Fun!

I can't believe that July is almost over. This year has gone by so fast! I can still feel the chills from winter and here it is around the bend again! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! We had a good holdiay weekend. I took Friday off so was able to FINALLY have a 3 day weekend! Thursday night we went and ate dinner at one of the vendors in the park at Fiesta day...delish! Then we met up with Nick and Amera and their kids and braved the carnival! We had a good time the boys enjoyed themselves and were able to ride a few rides together. Asher was all in favor of riding the big rides. He said he wanted to ride the Zipper "and SCREAM"! I was able to get him on the Ferris Wheel since, unfortunatly, he is too short for the others.

Cute cousins!

This was as brave as he could get!

The next day we got up early and went down to the park again and had breakfast for the Booster Club. After that we went to the other end of town for the parade. Asher was more interested in the karate and the slide next to us than the parade. The kids were able to karate chop a board but he went too fast so I wasn't able to show off his Karate skills!! Then we were able to stop back by the carnival for a couple more rides from the tickets the night before. So he rode the boats again! :)

Here was the slide that had to be done over and over!

After that we headed up to my stepsisters for a bbq. Here Asher really got to be brave and was able to swim in their pool! Now this kid has no fear and once that life jacket was on he was off! First thing he did was run to the diving board and jump off! It took a couple times for mom to calm down but he did great! A natural fish!

Seriously! He is not even 5 yet!

He was all over that pool!

Then after that it was off to Libery Park! We go up there every year to people watch, visit, watch fireworks...did I mention people watch? There are some interesting people up there! The kids had a great time. Grandma Marla bought them all glowing swords and they played Uno and Farkle. It's just a nice way to visit with family and enjoy some killer fireworks! They are amazing up there! Anyway it was a great, tiring holiday and I loved it! The 24th is quite possibly my favorite holiday!
