State Fair...A Utah Tradition

Since it's been crazy...posting has taken a backseat to my other commitments lately. But I love turning my posts into a book and having those memories last forever that way...so here is a "catch up" to what we've fit into our busy schedule.
Scott and I have made it a tradition to go to the Utah State Fair every year since Carter was born...and I will admit this year was by far the best!
Looking back at the fair pictures from last year, it really made me realize how different Braxton is...
He is so much bigger and has really come "alive" over the past year...
And Carter just keeps growing more and more mature everyday...
We always, always go through the FFA adventure and do all the activities they have planned. Last year Brax was only about 6 weeks old...
But this year he could actually participate! The pink "John Deer" Tractors were he favorite.
The red was obviously made for Carter. He loves riding the tractors around!
We then planted our seeds and harvested our veggies...
The little aprons, tiny baskets and mini picket fences were so cute and the boys enjoyed every minute!
We tried out the Pony Rides this year too...I have to admit I was nervous about Brax...but he was proud of himself riding that pony.
Though it looks like Carter is hating every second here...he really had a great time. He kept waving at Scott and back and Braxton and me. He's just super weird with the camera these days.
What's a trip to the Fair without checking out the goats right?!? Well, Brax found the friendliest one ever! When the boys stuck their hands in teh gate to pet him, he loved it and when they were leaving he kept "pawing" at the gate for more love.
Scott and Carter tried the Gigantic Slide this year too. Every year we've seen it and told ourselves when the boys were old enough we'd take them...I'm excited to say that this year was that year for Carter...maybe next year will be Brax's year.
It was such a nice time, Scott's mom and dad met us there and we all walked around and checked out what the Fair had to offer.
