The Utah State Fair

September 13, 2011 -

We love the State Fair... I personally enjoy it for the food, Rowynne loves the animals, and Cory loves all the weird stuff they sell. Hence the throwing star that he insisted on buying this year!
We were worried when Rowynne fell asleep the second we pulled up that she was going to miss everything, but it was like she could hear the animals calling. She loved looking at all the different animals, sometimes she is a little too brave for me. But it is super fun to watch her interact with the animals.

We were watching the Bulls being judged.
 Rowynne loved when they made noise, she totally would freak! 

 This was Cory's choice of food at the Fair. We usually give ourselves each one item that we can choose, otherwise I think we could easily spend all our money just on food at the fair. It all looks so good. Cory chose the Deep Fried Bacon Wrapped Twinkie I know it sounds repulsive, but in the end Cory loved it and I have to admit it wasn't that bad. I don't think I would ever want to eat one in its entirety myself. But I enjoyed my few bites!

 We bought a few tickets to play with and Rowynne got to jump all by herself. This was the first time she had ever been in a bouncy house... I think she was a little overwhelmed.  She mostly just stood inside not a lot of jumping actually occurred. But she didn't seem like she wanted to get out. So we deemed it a success!

This time I actually talked Daddy into riding the Merry GO Round. He usually refuses because they make him motion sick.. but I used my Prego card and he rose to the occasion. I don't think he enjoyed it much but at least he didn't throw up!


Gotta Love the Utah State Fair! 

Happy 26th Birthday Cory

September 11. 2011 -

   While other people may be remembering a Sad day in America's History on September 11th - The Ivins family is celebrating the birth of the best husband/daddy/brother/son in the whole wide world. It  has been tough having such a downer of a birthday for Cory, but he always is upbeat about it. He was born first! We try to still remember the day for what it is but then we also always make sure we celebrate for Cory.
Rowynne and I made Cory his favorite....  Funfetti Cupcakes with Rainbow Chip Icing.  Since Cory's birthday was a sunday this year we brought Cupcakes to our Primary Class and I made them sing Cory Happy Birthday as loud as their little lungs could scream it. I'm sure we disrupted a few classes that Sunday.. but hey it was worth it for my Man!

Don't know what I would do without him... but I'm are sure glad that he was born so we can spend eternity together!
Love You Cory and Happy Birthday!
