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!

Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:   I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red. Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut: I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters: Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached: This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down: And viola! The words are finished! To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids. After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!

Paddling through Brunswick Stew

Last weekend was quite an exciting one for Jeff and me. Ashley and Neil came up Friday and stayed at our house that night. We love having friends come over, especially when we don't get to see them very often! The next morning we headed up to the Hester family farm that's in Virginia. The Hester clan was having a get-together because a family friend was teaching how to make Brunswick Stew. Now, when I think of Brunswick Stew I immediately think of Smithfield's. Probably because that's the only place I've actually eaten some...yes-I'm not a southerner. When we arrived at the house I was a little surprised to see this: Brunswick Stew cooking outside in a 5 gallon pot that was being stirred by Uncle Mac with a boat paddle. Ok-it's not really a boat paddle, but it sure resembles one! This was the true southern way to make Brunswick Stew, I was told by the other man in the picture (Mr. George). Mr. George also told me that he had a 30 gallon pot to make ...

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:
