Purple Butterfly's....

Paige just finished playing her first season of SOCCER, she LOVED it and so did we. Brian was/is the coach and is having a great time as well. Their team is called the Purple Butterfly's, there are 6 girls on the team...Paige, Ellie, Brianne, Kate, Abby, and Eden. Here are some pictures of them having the time of their lives:

Paige gets her a break away and goes in for a goal....


The cutest part was after she scored a goal or did something really good she would go running Brian to get a huge hug and he would throw her up in the air.


This is what Paige does when she's tired...she plays with her ears. Guess the soccer field is no exception. We will just have to tell people it's her secret code for an awesome play as she gets older. ;)

The Beautiful BUTTERFLY'S in all their glory!


And GOTTA love the cute soccer hair styles. I love doing her hair super cute, and thankfully she lets me. What a doll!
This is what she thinks of all the pictures. LOL!!!

Brayden had to be in on the action too. Thankfully we had spare balls off the field or he would have been chasing it around on the field with the girls.
He's her biggest fan!!!
We are hoping that he loves soccer as much as Paige does. AND thankfully Paige really likes playing soccer!!! Thanks to all our family that came out and cheered her on, she loved having you there! We will be back on the field first thing this spring, so we'll see you there!

The Good Ol' State Fair...

We LOVE the State Fair and we have gone every year for the last 5 years, and we STILL love it!!! This year we went during the day to take advantage of the $2 price and to make sure we still got to go, because Brian was super busy and we weren't sure we were going to make it another time. SO thankfully Brian's mom "Bobo" was able to tag along with us...{thanks Colleen}!

First stop: The horses, Paige LOVES to pet the horses....Brayden,

Not so much. He wasn't sure what to think of them.

Then "Little Hands On The Farm"....it is the cutest little kid area. The kids loved it, they get to pick produce...

Ride the farmers tractor...

Isn't he the cutest little cargo?!?! They get to groom the sheep, collect some fur...

Milk a cow...

The next "Future Farmers of America"....

They then get to take what they've collected and turn it in for money to spend at the "store". Paige picked fruit snacks and we got Brayden some cereal.

Then we were off to see and pet all of the real animals. The kids were amazed! It was so fun to see them respond to all the different animals.

AND who would have known you would see TIGERS at the FAIR?!!? But much to our surprise there was an AMAZING tiger show......seriously it was amazing to watch, we LOVED it!!!

We also ran into a transformer {That's what Paige called it}. Yet another RANDOM thing to see at the fair.

Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of Paige and me riding down the famous yellow slide. BUT I was able to snap a couple pictures of Paige enjoying one of my all time faves from the fair. BBQ corn on the cob!!!

We really had a great time and can't wait to do it all again next year!!!
