Sticky Buns Anyone? ☺

Howdy~ I made sticky buns on Saturday and thought I'd make you hungry. :D
And I made Banana Oatmeal Cookies! And we got about 5 zucchini from our tiny garden, and 1 squash! I love baked and fried zucchini, so I was happy! :D
Yesterday, was graduation Sunday at Ellerslie, so we sent off another batch of students. :( I'll miss them.
And we had a surprise too. Some friends from Idaho, came back to Ellerslie, to become advanced students. It was awesome to see them!
Well, I need to go finish some laundry. :( For the record, I don't exactly love laundry. lol

A Quote for a Thought ♥

This quote from "Facing the Giants" has been running through my head all day yesterday and today. I don't know why, it's just there. Anyways, I thought I'd share it, maybe it will "plague" someone else. :)
"God has gifted you with the ability of leadership don't waste it! Can I count on you?" -Grant
"Yes!" -Brock

The County Fair!!

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry....I know its been a week, but I do have a really good reason, the County Fair!! Our business has had a booth in the fair for the last 5 years, so we always get to spend a lot of time there. I was at the fair every day (its 5 days!) but, some of the days were only half days. It does make you tired....anyways we had a blast! Last night was the last rodeo and we always go to it cause it is the "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" rodeo and also the rodeo that they crown the new "Larimer County Queen". Here are some pictures I took. Sorry some are blurry, it is sooo hard to get good pictures. Okay...this next photo is suppose to be down a ways, but oh well. bull riding! ouch! that doesn't look very comfortable
barrel racing, my favorite!
in three nights of rodeos, this girl got the highest score, she was FAST "ride 'em cowgirl!"
The horses are absolutely gorgeous
steer wrestling, the clown said "I didn't know a steer could leave skidmarks!" bronco riding! team roping!
the new 2012 Larimer County Queen
the 2011 queen, her lady-in-waiting, and Miss Rodeo Colorado
fireworks!!!

flowers

one of the vendors had a bunch of cute, chunky, necklaces, but they were $75, so bye-bye
Okay, here are a bunch of photos from the 4-H barns
this was the cutest kid {no pun intended :) }
the bunnys were so cute!
Well, I guess thats all,
