Onion days 2010

Onion days is a big event for my wonderful town of Payson Utah! We love it! especially being from a larger city around Denver CO. Small towns here have these wonderful celebrations for their towns biggest "deal", and our is the Scottish festival and the Onion Days! Our old town of Pleasant Grove had Strawberry days and Spanish Fork has Llamafest etc.. We have a carnival, fireworks, parade all of those traditional contests and concerts and we love it all!
Kate had a big job this year, as she was in the parade and half time show at the football game for her Jr Lions cheer! Everything was all set to go off without a hitch...Carnival, game, fireworks... and then Evan puked after his first ride and felt sick on the couch all night, and Audrey got 3 shots right before the carnival for her 15 mo check up and they made her a WRECK! she was down at 7! So Derek took over for the night, I missed her performance, but I saw all the practices. (He took 1 picture though...UGH!!!) Fireworks were across the street and wonderful! Dereks sister Gina and her kids came over after pig wrestling which is part of Onion Days and my 2 nieces participated!!We made s'mores and watched the LONG show (well half of us, the boys were all playing XBOX...) It was great and the end of summer!

Kate and Daddy getting things ready for the S'mores and Fireworks!

Kate actually posed 300 times for her cheerleading shot! She ate this up! (here by the apple tree, here by the sandbox etc...)

And here is the official "1" photo Derek got of her half time performance, not even on the field!!!

Kates waste of money$, cheap Carnival toy she is over already! her Daddy got her it of course!

Conner and Logans cheap carnival toys they won for their baby sisters Audrey and Quin, future BFs... Conner was sick later that night, we dont fare well at the Carnival!! Keep in mind Evan and Audrey are inside and down for the night!!!

We were super glad she was faced to the side of the rode we were sitting on! my friend had to cross the rode to get her daughters picture!!
