August always feels super rushed to me. I always feel like I need to hurry and get everything in before school starts. August is especially crazy because it's the cache county fair. The fair was kind of hard this year. Ty worked SO SO hard with his sheep and we really got her to gain weight for being born in April. (most are born in February). I think it actually hurt us this year because he was with some older sheep that had filled out better so he got last place in his showing. The good news is they give the lower half of the kids all a 2nd place ribbon so he thought he got 2nd place. Shhh don't tell him otherwise. no need to hurt his feelings where it isn't anything he could have done different. The bad news is that placed him about 8th kid to LAST to sale his sleep on Saturday which meant we had to wait all day. He still sold his sheep for about the same as the rest of the kids who sold- so he was thrilled to have $400 bucks for it. It was completely heartbreaking to see him say goodbye to Oreo Saturday night. He did ok the year before but this year this was his sheep and he loved her. He just cried and kept hugging her. It totally broke my heart. It's so hard to sale sheep because you know where they are going! Ty and I like to think they kept her to have more babies- because they do that sometimes. It's at least a happier thought.
During the fair we also had Eastons birthday. Bryan's best friend growing up got married in the middle of the month so we go invited to that. It's not often Bryan and I spend time together without kids. We need to do that more often. We also had back to school. Stockton was so excited. Like beyond excited. What a fun month we had.
