Here is part II for those who got through part I and were willing to see more.  This part has to do with the Fryar family summer.  Here we go........

                                        McKay broke her arm at the very first of the summer swinging on our clothesline. She was a trooper and didn't let it ruin her summer break. She went swimming several times by putting a plastic bread sack over her cast and keeping her arm above her head the whole time!

this is the girl party apparently, when we went down to Abbie's wedding. Umm, mom, where did you go? did we say "no mom's allowed?"

                                             trips to bear lake and Jenny's lake.

                                                        Jess boy's 10th birthday!

                                                     Grandma, Karen, and the Dalling crew came
                                                to celebrate with us.

   

Nora turns 2! our good friends from st. George were

visiting with us that week also.

                                     Here is where things got a bit crazy. Our good neighbors left for two weeks right in the middle of a healthy garden harvest and left us to care for the garden! We had beans, cucumbers, and raspberries coming out our ears! Maddie and Jess were also taking care of their animals and flowers, and another neighbors animals. Each day we were also going to our neighbors pasture to work with M and J's lambs because the fair was coming up, and Maddie's lamb refused to move a muscle! We worked, and worked and worked! Nora's picture sums up how we were all feeling.

                                 A man came and sheared the lambs for us -- i thought it was kind of fun to see.

                        a week or two before everything went crazy we decided to remodel our bathroom. Then we got so busy we couldn't get back to the remodel! It looked like this for some time.

                          Poor Kris brought Kenna to BYUI to go to EFY. Little did she know what
                             she was getting herself into.  She and Mandy helped me make bread and butter pickles with that ear load of cucumbers!

           Then the fair began!  We weighed the lambs, made posters, washed the lambs, mucked out stalls, showed the lambs, showed the lambs, sold the lambs, etc!!

                                  Maddie, Cache (our neighbor), and Jess in action!

                                        Jesse's lamb got 1st place in quality for it's weight division.

                                       Maddie's got second in quality.

                                                everyone wanted to be in their cowgirl attire.

                                                   Nora was lucky to be "attired" at all. She literally rolled in
                                            the poop infested dirt floor for about an hour. she had a great time. :)

                                        We got done with the fair and decided to go to the apple orchard to pick apples with the kids. there wasn't a lot to choose from, and the kids picked up all kinds of gems, but over all I would say.......no, I wouldn't.......that trip was kind of a flop.:)

                              But wow!  What a great summer!

                                     Let the school year begin!

                                           It is hard to say good bye to their best play mates.
Now, I know I will get some saucy comments on the amount of pictures I just posted, but I was just thinking how much I wanted to "see" all my family and know what was going on with everyone, so I just let you know pretty much everything that was going on with us! Sorry in advance. That's a little too much of the Fryar's, I know. :)  love you all!  Katie Jo
