Fair, Gregor's Birthday, & First Day of School!!!

Another one of those posts that is going to have a lot of stuff in it. First, last week was the famous Box Elder County Fair. I have never quite understood everyones take on the fair out here in good ol' Tremonton. The town seriously shuts down for this thing and everyones life is the fair. Our kids love it so we do go out and spend time with Ben's family and let the kids run around. I will have to admit it was pretty miserable for me this year. I don't recommend going out there 39 weeks pregnant. You end up coming home with cabbage patch feet. The highlights were that PJ's(Ben's cousin) steer took Grand Champion, and Max (Pete and Dari's oldest) took first in his class and 7th overall. We were excited for them. Ben ran the fair 5k Saturday morning and came in 3rd in his age group and I think 30th out of 200. He is funny he hates to run while he is doing it, but it is almost like an addiction now to him and he loves it when he is done.
McGregor's birthday is today, but we did the family party last night. We had chocolate cake, rhubarb crumble, chocolate chip ice cream, and vanilla ice cream. He whipped through his gifts pretty fast. Then played for the rest of the night. My mom took him Friday for his special day and he picked out a pink and purple tricycle. You know he is our third child, because we didn't care about the pink and purple we were just excited he was pedaling. I always put a little blurb about them on their birthday so here goes. Mcgregor is a joy to my heart. On the worst days he can make you smile. He loves everyone and is really upset if he doesn't get to give you a hug and kiss before you leave. I have thought a lot lately about what we were doing last year at this time and how thankful I am to have him still here with us. Him and Jarrett are good buddies. I can't say the same about him and Isabelle, but he does love her and miss her when she's not here. We have decided he is our comedian. He is hilarious. We have found out lately that he loves to sing and he is one of the loudest in sacrament meeting. I can't believe he is already three. Happy Birthday buddy!! Oh yeah, he sleeps in his own bed now and all night!!!! Yeah!!!!
Well today we got up and got Jarrett and Isabelle off on their first day of school. Jarrett is in the third grade this year. He is a little nervous because he has heard some horror stories about his teacher. We will have to see how he does. Isabelle is in the first grade and was so excited. She knows her teacher loves her already. She was so excited this morning. Both of them couldn't wait to wear their new clothes and shoes. Can't wait to hear their stories when they get home.
Well tomorrow morning Ben and I get to go to the hospital at 6:00 am and have our new addition. Everyone asks if I am nervous and no I am SOOOOO ready. So our next entry will more than likely be about our newest member to our family. It will prove to be a very busy week, but exciting. Thanks to everyone for everything lately.
