Down at the Fair...

The Cowley County Fair has been going on at the Winfield Fairgrounds since last Thursday night, but with all the wedding excitement, we didn't get to go down until last night. Of course, it was also the hottest night! We met my parents there at 6pm for a bbq dinner in the Walnut Grove. The food was yummy, but we were sweating buckets just sitting there eating. I knew we'd really lucked out with the wedding weather Friday and Saturday...I just didn't know how good we had it!

After a yummy dinner, Barrett spotted the farris wheel and wanted to head that way!


Daddy bought us some ride tickets, and Barrett took his first spin on the Carousel. I was afraid he wouldn't like it, but once it got going, he laughed so hard every time it went up and down!

he is cracking up in this picture



Then it was time to see the animals....
Justin and I were looking forward to this, because we knew he'd enjoy it so much compared to our trip to the fair last year!
The family: 2008 Fair

I had a little fun taking pictures of the animals!
Some of them had hilarious hairdos!
I'm not making fun...I look the same way in the morning!


On our way back to the car, we ran into our friends Megan, Brent and Norah Kate. Barrett shared some of his crackers, and then Norah Kate and her mommy got a snow cone!


It was a great evening, and I'm sure next year will be even more fun for Barrett!

First dance! Thanks to my sister-in-law, Kim for taking this picture.
I was back cutting cake and so bummed I missed watching the first dance.

I was so happy to have his family there. They are just so sweet to Mr. B and helped me out with him so much during the wedding weekend. I don't know what I would have done without them!

Saying goodbye to Brandon before they took off in the limo.

I almost started crying while editing this picture! I just can't believe my little brother is married, AND I could not be happier with my newest sister! She is a perfect fit into our family, and I look forward to all the fun times we have ahead! Congratulations, Brandon and Jennifer! The wedding couldn't have been more beautiful!! I love you both so very much!

Wedding Day!!

Engagement photo:: By Kelly Highby Photography


I can't believe it's already August 1, 2009! My little brother's wedding day! Brandon and Jennifer were engaged in December 2008, and it seems like just yesterday we started planning wedding invitations, programs and decorations. The months have flown by, as always, and today is the day! The weather for last nights rehearsal was perfect, and we're hoping for the same tonight. We've been decorating today, and it's a beautiful sunny day...highs in the 80's, which is not at all typical for an August day in Kansas! It is going to be a picture perfect day for an outdoor wedding and celebration! Pictures to come later :)

The Wedding Invitations::
