Brody update

Matt, Jaclyn & Brody stopped by Sunday on their way home from Sedalia. Brody is sure growing - he is so funny. He just laughs and he lights up when he sees his Daddy.

I'm back

Well it has been a busy August and I finally have some time to update my blog. We drove to Tulsa on Sunday, August 16 to meet up with Kasey and Mabry. We have a great visit - had lunch and did some shopping. It was so good to see them again. Jeremiah was not able to come due to work but it was really good to see the girls again. We are planning a trip to Texas soon. More pictures to come. Here are some picture of Mabry taken in Tulsa.

Blue Ribbons

Ken won several blue ribbons for his artwork at the fair. He entered an eagle, a tractor and an owl. He is such a good artist.

Prize winning cake

Last year I entered the "Weird Chocolate Cake" contest at the Ozark Empire Fair. Didn't place. This year I tried it again. After making several cakes and sharing them with my office and Ken's office - I entered a "Black Bean Chocolate Cake" and won first place. Yeah!! I had a lot of fun experimenting with different cakes and both offices had fun eating them. I've already begun thinking about next years cake.

Ozark Empire Fair

Brody made his first trip to the Ozark Empire Fair. Although he did sleep through most of it he did wake up in time to enjoy some of it. We had a great time - looking at all the exhibits and all Ken's blue ribbons. Enjoyed corn dogs, McAlister's Tea and Hiland ice cream. Yum! Oh - I forgot the turkey leg. We had a great time.
