KY State Fair

We took Bennett to the KY State Fair two days over the past weekend. Our cousins were also showing their goats in the fair. Bennett had a good time. He loved watching Lynnsey to see what she would do next!

Here he is with Mackenzie. He is wearing a shirt to support them showing their goats!!!

He rode a goat, haha.

Here is Lynnsey showing her goat.

Things to do before Brayden comes:

I am trying to think of everything I need to get done around here before the baby comes. I seemed so prepared for Bennett (even moving in and graduating a few weeks before he got here). So I am starting a list (no specific order) here to keep myself on track!
1. Get fence put up in backyard
2. Fix the 2 front windows that have been broken since we moved in (opps!)
3. Install a new A/C unit for the upstairs of the house (one just isn't cutting it)
4. Organize Brian's office (so Bennett can hang out up there if he needs to after Brayden is born)
5. Put together double stroller
6. Install Brayden's carseat
7. Organize Brayden's corner of living room (pack n play, swing, ect...)
8. Get some shelving for Bennett's toys in living room
9. Make sure have all baby items needed for Brayden
10. Buy and wash all of Brayden's clothes
11. Get Bennett sleeping in his own crib longer (haha good luck on this one!)
12. Get some scrapbooking done (all the way from our wedding until now)
13. Finish Bennetts baby book
14. Start a lifebook for Bennett
15. Maternity pictures taken
16. Hang up pictures around house
17. Put up new curtains and blinds in the boy's rooms

I am sure there is more but this is what I think of now!

Brayden's Nursery

Tonight we set up Brayden's nursery. We still have to put up his name above the crib and add some personal touches. I am very please that it turned out exactly how I wanted it to! My dad helped paint the polka dots on the wall. I love it.
