State Fair

We took our annual State Fair trip. We went on a Friday that I was tracked-out and Jeff took the day off. I was super excited to go because it was Naomi's first time at the fair! 

From the moment we walked onto the fairgrounds Naomi couldn't stop staring at all of the people!


I had to get a picture of her with the HUGE pumpkin. Of course she was more enthralled with the eggplant...


Then we went to look at the animals. She had a better view from on top of Jeff's shoulders:

My favorite picture of the day:


We went into the bunny building because we obviously love bunnies. They had a Lionhead bunny out that we could pet. As soon as I put Naomi down she started to reach for the bunny. The bunny let Naomi pet her for quite a long time! Naomi laughed, smiled, and giggled the whole time. We could have stayed in there for hours and she'd be entertained! I wish we could have gotten it on video! 


Next we stopped for the delicious corn and our annual corn picture:

After the bunnies and corn Naomi was ready for some food and snuggle time!

Right after she ate she was ready for round 2 of the fair!

Jeff and I then got our lunch. I had a Phily Cheese Steak. Jeff got a turkey leg. We shared buffalo fries which were fries topped with hot sauce and rance. And of course we got a lemonade!

Our new food for the year was fried cheesecake. It was delicious! I highly recommend it! While waiting in line we looked at all of the other fried food that was offered and I was quite disgusted! Look closely to the picture:
Twix in a Twinkie and wrapped with bacon and then deep fried. Reeces with Bacon. Ewww....If you did try one of those and it was good you'll have to tell me about it!

By the afternoon little Naomi was tuckered out! We had a great time at the fair as a family of 3!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...
