I love this time of year!

For our only weekend at home this month, we decided to get out to enjoy one of my favorite pastimes: the State Fair. We went with our good friends Carrie and Joel. Although there was no elvis show, there were a lot of cute animals,


fried food, great outfits, and hot tubs. Okay, we didn't plan on the last one, but it was such a smoking deal that we couldn't help ourselves. We've been hot-tub-less for two years and coming home from skiing is not the same without it.

The next day, Stacia and Dave had a housewarming party. Their house is amazing. The spread was better than at a wedding. There were little lamb chops, ceviche, homemade jellys, star cookies, fruit, and anything else you could possibly imagine. Of course, I didn't get pictures of any of that because I was too busy taking pictures of Beck--the cutest baby. I want to steal him!
