Wilson Co Fair


10 years together and Robert and I have never gone to the fair together. Not sure how that happened, but after this year, I know that will change. Being (fairly) new to a city, I try to listen and ask about what others do with their families/kiddos and if it sounds like our kind of outing, I usually convince Robert to head out to try it. Going to the Wilson Co Fair was one of those outings - usually it's a spontaneous decisin like, "hey, I'm off tonight and we could totally squeeze this in and grab dinner somewhere in there too, wanna go?" and Robert goes with it!
...And Izzy, well the girl LOVES those spontaneous outings we do - and boy, does she ever soak it all in. She was talking about the fair for days after we went. She is like me in that way- always likes to try out something new!

(I forgot my camera, UGH - but thankfully the iPhone is never far!)

She was in love with all the animals. Here she is with the bunny rabbits.
Petting the goats - scary but exciting too!
That is one large momma cow.
Her smile is always a mile wide :)
Daddy and Izzy enjoyed yummy funnel cakes! Always a favorite!
Naturally, Izzy knew you just dig right in! we had a nice break in the shade watching lots of people go by and all the lights and music of the rides...a huge deal for a 2 year old!
And I finally got some fried pickles!!! I've been craving them for awhile now! Soooo good!
Izzy was ready to jump on every single ride! She got to ride the spinning monkeys with Daddy and loved that but was not happy when it stopped. She ran up to several lines and tried to jump through the gate to get on (She was actually too short for most rides). So I'm hoping she's a bit taller next year to ride more!

Wilson County Fair, we loved you! We will be back next year for sure!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
