Fall Festival

Well I am a little (okay a lot) late on my postings so this dates back to the fall. Although it goes nicely after my Halloween post which I apparently wanted to make sure everyone saw. The Copper Basin School put on a festival and since we signed up for a booth and Patrick was stuck I got the pleasure of taking the kids around to the many many bounce toys. They had a blast and completely wore themselves out. And with two of Madison's friends along I don't think I have counted to five as many times as I did that night in my whole life.

A long trip up...

but a very swift one down. Jacob had to have done this slide twenty times.

Ahhh...to be young again.

Madison somehow looks like she is going twice as fast as everyone else. Maybe it's the hair.

Sword fighting with glow sticks...and yes Jacob was again the victor.

And to end the night...rocking out to Hannah Montana with glow sticks. Really does life get any better.

Porter and his mad dance skills. Or Indian tribal dance. You be the judge.

BREAKING NEWS WILL ROCK THE NATION

NEW INFORMATION MAY CHANGE THE FACE OF THIS ELECTION FOREVER!!

Take a back seat Joe the Plumber this in an exclusive story brought to you by "Farmer Cami" with the most shocking pictures yet of an election scandal. OBAMA (Biden was tied up doing last minute work and was not able t0 attend) and MCCAIN/PALIN make a shocking and unexpected visit together at the Copper Basin Ward Trunk-or-Treat. You may be thinking to yourselves not so shocking considering it was Halloween and who doesn't love a good Trunk-or-Treat right. While their time at the now infamous Copper Basin Ward seemed typical of candidates trying desperately to tie up any undecided votes as election day nears; they shook hands with the scarecrows, the Queen of AJ, the Goblins, the witches, and many others as they made their way from car to car. However the scandal erupted after I got into an exclusive after party held at the Kennedy residence. These pictures may be graphic at times and viewer discretion is advised. If you thought you knew what vote to cast on Tuesday prepare to be shocked!

(Pictured left to right- Obama, Biden, Palin, McCain)

A typical picture that may have you wondering where is the scandal?

Do they look like a couple of "Mavericks" or what?

While Obama and Biden seem to look fairly confident that victory will be theirs...why might they look so confident? Now the scandal begins...

Earlier in the evening after a heated debate about Polar Bears Obama looks like he has had enough of Palin's antics and Palin seems to be daring him to do something about it, just when she thinks he wouldn't dare to something stupid days before the election. Running mate and wing man Biden steps in...

he grabs her from behind while Palin is sucker punched from the front by Obama...even spider man in background knows better than to intervene in this twisted confrontation. So you may be asking yourself where is McCain? Why is he not coming to her aid?

He is out getting last minute celebrity endorsements from none other than...

"The Wendys Girl", Litte Spidy, Two Cats, Spider Man, and Hannah Montana

So lets review Obama/Biden jump Palin while McCain tries to reason with celebrities to go republican, scandalous yes but the night was still young...

Palin seeks revenge for the (staged) earlier mishap and now has good reason to take out Biden. But why......?

Ahh Ha... A picture is worth a thousand words. The plot thickens and it all comes together. It kinda makes you want to sing...

People are talkin' talkin' 'bout people

I hear them whisper, you won't believe it

They think we're lovers kept under cover

I just ignore it, but they keep saying

We laugh just a little too loud

We stand just a little too close

We stare just a little too long

Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'.

Let's give them something to talk about

How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed

You'd act so nervous,

Could you be falling for me?

It took a rumour to make me wonder

Now I'm convinced I'm going under

Thinking 'bout you every day

Dreaming 'bout you every night

Hoping that you feel the same way

Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'.

Let's give them something to talk about!!

I asked the question "Obama and Palin what is to be made of these photo and these 'rumors'?"

"Ahhh shucks we've been caught" said Palin

"Senator Obama what do you have to say for yourself?" " I know you are but what am I." Obama then made a swift get away in a small white truck. So what is to be made of all of this....you be the judge!!!!! And GOOD LUCK ON ELECTION DAY.

Schnepf Farms

October Festival at Schnepf Farms

Just over a week ago we went to Schneph farms for their chili and pumpkin festivel with our friends the Schnelbach's, their neighbors, Patricks brother Aaron and his wife Michelle and their son Noah for a little fall fun. I had never been there before but it came highly recommended by the Schnelbach's. We went on a Thursday night because we could get in for half price. I was quite amazed at how big it was on the inside...I had driven by a million times and it didn't look like much. But we had a blast with great company. I will warn in advance that there are many many pictures.

OOKY SPOOKY BUNCH
Happy Fall Y'All

These were some of the rides. The roller coaster is one of few gravity run roller coasters and it is just the right size for the little ones. Madi and Porter are on there somewhere and would have gone over and over had we not run out of time. Jacob enjoyed the little rides until the fireworks started and then he was mesmerized by the sky.

This little piggy went to Schnepf farms...these little piggy's went to hide behind a piggy to smooch.

It may not be Nascar but the piggy races were quite a hit. Madison and Porter went watching to see if their pig could take the bacon. (ha ha ha) No luck but they made off with candy anyway. Patrick and Lanette were picked to do a Suie contest. Patrick quickly stopped when he realized he was an octave higher than a manly man should be leaving Lanette to take the prize and get a beautiful pig nose. It doesn't take much to entertain the McCabe's.

SUIEEEEEEE

Ahh yes and what would a festival be without food and a carousel. We made Porter finish his hot dog because it cost about as much as our mortgage. Okay maybe not but lets just say I could have bought about 9 packages of hot dogs for the price of that dog. And is it bad that we were eating hot dogs just before the piggy race???? I wonder where the piggy went that lost?????

I'm too sexy for this carousel too sexy for this carousel...so sexy it hurts!!! I'm a model you know what I mean And I do my little turn on the carousel... Yeah on the carousel on the carousel yeah I shake my little touche on the carousel!!!!!

No Jacob is not asleep just bored out his mind he finally cried probably just so we would take him off and end the misery...Madison and Porter however seem to like the pony's well enough but Noah just couldn't get enough I think he stroked the pony's mane the entire ride.

It was a SPOOKTASTIC time!!!!
Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Fun Festival with Fantastic Friends, Freakin expensive Food, Fabulous Pie, and Fine Festivities.

Happy Birthday Jacob

Okay so I am a little behind when it comes to bloggin' so I am backing up to September 13th.

Mesmerized my the fire.

Finally starting to get into the blowing thing.

Happy Birthday Jacob

He is definitely boy through and through. He is rough and tumble and fearless (not a safe combination). He is always happy and loves people. We are so glad that he is such a special part of our family and can't imagine a day without him. We love you Jacob.
