Okay, call me crazy but there have been times when I've been envious of celebs crazy busy, on-the-go lifestyles. I always thought it'd kind of be nice to travel to cool places, doing cool things 24/7! Well, these past few weeks I've experienced a little bit of that and now all I want to do is sit down and catch up on my missed OPRAHS! I've had VERY little time to do ANYTHING! Anway, here's a quick update on a few things that have happened in the past few weeks....sorry this won't be long but I needed a quick break from packing and I HAD to update. Does anyone else stress when you don't have an updated blog and stuff is just building up and building up and NOT getting posted?
After we left Louisiana from our cruise, the next day my parents follwed us back to the BIG D to watch the BYU vs. TCU game (I'm serious when I say my dad is the BIGGEST BYU FOOTBALL fan EVER! Trust me, he's obsessed!) They stayed for a few days and took a QUICK break from their busy, stress filled lives! So Thursday we hit up the BYU game....
Although we LOOK happy here, the game didn't END happy....sorry dad. Hey, atleast your prediction of BYU being ranked higher than LSU lasted....a week..
Then on Friday, we hit up the TEXAS STATE FAIR where we spent our LIFE SAVINGS! This place was SOO pricey! One ride was like $3-$4 and since someone had to ride WITH Boston, THEY had to spend ANOTHER $3-$4...dont even get me started on the food! So each ride basically cost $8! Thankfully we had Daddy Warbucks who bought some coupons for Boston to ride a few rides and have a fun night (thanks Dad, Boston LOVED EVERY minute)!
First, we hit up the car show.
After looking at ALL her options for her NEXT vehicle, my mom undoubtly decided she wanted to stick with the Navigator (you can't talk this woman into change for ANYTHING)..although she did decide that she liked the new Navigator XL better for the extra trunk space. I guess that's a start?
Boston loves cars almost as much as his dad. We let him get out and walk around and he'd go up to EVERY car and try to open the door and climb up in the driver seat! He'd push ALL the buttons and turn the wheel acting like he'd been doing this for YEARS!
Mom and Dad weren't feeling the fair food sooo they settled for a $50 fresh squeezed lemonade. Okay, it wasn't quite $50 but it was close!
Don't you think Kent could be the next Dr. Pepper model?
Next we hit up the rides...
First the carosel
Then the twirly bears will Papa...
Then the train...(does Boston look skinnier than normal in this picture to anyone else?)
And lastly, Boston's FIRST roller coaster ride. Can you spot Kent and Boss man?
Then we were all tuckered out and ready to go! Boston LOVED his first fair experience. I wish we would've had time for more, I've never been to a state fair that HUGE! Oh, and J. Simpson (that's JESSICA Simpson for all those NON-fans out there) was performing that night. Unfortunately, I wasn't with any TRUE fans so we only caught her singing in the distant.
Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to visit! Sorry it was so quick and sorry even more that BYU couldn't pull it off for you. We LOVED having ya'll come as ALWAYS!
P.S. I know I said this would be short but Kent went to get something sweet for us and so I took a longer packing break. PLUS now I feel SOO much better that atleast I have a little bit updated!

Karlee, I always love reading your posts and seeing your pictures. It was great to see your parents, too. Hope the packing and moving continues to go well.
That looks like so much fun! I LOVE fairs! Washington has a huge one, and I miss it so much! I hate packing, I feel for you, hope everything goes smooth, and you all get up here soon!
Wow you have been busy!! So I was meaning to ask you....When Boston started rolling on his tummy in his crib did you just let him sleep like that or what did you do, Hallie is making me a nervous wreck at night now!
I love state fairs, but they do get so costly! Why is that? It seems that they should be CHEAP fun different entertainment...instead it is the total opposite!
Glad you had so much fun! I'm glad you were able to go to the fair before you moved from Texas. It's one of the biggest talks of the state....if you've never gone, then you're a big loser! Oh, wait, I lived there for 3 years with 2 children and we NEVER went. Call us losers!!! I'm actually quite sad that we didn't ever go. It looks really fun.
We are sure going to miss not being able to see you when (and if) we ever get back to Texas again. Happy Packing!
HEY, heard your moving to Utah....where you headed to? We're just outside Salt Lake, it would be fun to see one of the Bluth girls! :)
Sounds like you guys have had a lot of fun lately! I like you love to travel! Thankfully now Steve works for American Airlines so we can!
How fun! It sounds like so much fun - we're going to have to try the fair next year. And PS I so would have been there listening to Jessica with you - I love that she's singing country now!
