August was a busy month!! We began by heading to Papa and Grammy's for a family reunion...Taylor experienced her first ride on "Papa's tractor."

Papa and his little girls...

The Pence family keeps growing!

We hosted a work cookout...here are all the kiddos!

Taylor's 1st corn on the cob!

We took a trip to the State Fair, and although it rained slightly, it ended up being a great day to go!

Little Hands on the Farm

The famous butter cow!

Carson said all he wanted from the fair was "a corn dog as big as my head!" So he had a foot long corn dog! Ava opted for a petite version...

And Taylor enjoyed one as well!

Our friend, Rachel's birthday party...veggie tales

Lazy Dobber!

I can't believe I sent my babies off to school! 1st day of preschool...

They were SO excited!

Their preschool teacher, Miss Terri

We always joke about what will be Taylor's "hair gel" of the night!

In July, we took a trip to Chicago, and had a lot of fun seeing some of the sites!
