Deschutes County Fair

Today was "free day" at our county fair. We got in for free... that's why they call it free day.

We went on all the over-priced kiddie rides, but the kids had a blast. Here are some random pictures from our day.

Riley and Hannah showing their prizes from the fishing game... foam feet... on a stick... smiling. Yeah, your guess is as good as mine.

What we failed to capture was Hannah tumbling around in the barrel, unable to stand up. Overall, it was a good day but now we are tired and a little toasted by the sun and, frankly, ready for bed.

5 months & counting...

I know it's only been 2 1/2 weeks or so since I last posted a belly picture but I thought that I should post at 5 months so that I can continue with the month to month comparisons.

5 month belly, and almost a full inch bigger.

Just to show that it really is MY belly not some other random pregnant woman.

Ryan thought it was funny to take my picture before I was ready and while I was obviously distracted by something "kid sized". I'll admit it is kind of funny.

Well, I am officially a little over 5 months pregnant and I couldn't hide it now even if I wanted. In fact, an older gentlemen at church said to our senior pastor, and I quote, "Is Holly pregnant or is something wrong?". I had to laugh when Ryan shared that with me. As if the only option for having a bigger belly is either 1) pregnancy, or 2)somethings wrong. I asked Ryan what he thought the man meant by "wrong". We aren't quite sure if he meant weight gain due to depression from being away from family or if he was talking about a tumor or some other strange type of growth. Either way it made for a good laugh.
