We bought Brandon an unlimited ride band at the fair. He had the best time. I think his favorites were the roller coaster,
the burlap sack slide

& the race cars that whip around the corners.
While we were in the kiddy ride area, we ran into Nick's friend Rich and his family. Brandon rode the race cars with Jackson, but then we lost them. Jackson is pretty tall & went off to ride taller kid rides with his Mom.

Brandon was really disappointed, but cheered up once he was on his next ride. He rode a million rides that day!
When Brandon was riding with this little girl, he started out happy enough, but she kept scooting closer & closer until he was squashed against the side of the cart. Then every time she turned her head he got smacked in the face by her ponytail. By the end of the ride he was looking pretty irritated.
Brandon wanted to ride the ferris wheel, but Nick doesn't like them. I would have gone with him, but it started to get too late, so I just took a picture instead.

We got a babysitter for Laedyn and took Brandon to the fair on Saturday. As usual it was rather warm at the fairgrounds, but a really nice day. Brandon really enjoyed the animal barn with the animals you could get right up close to.

While we were there, we ran into one of Nick's co-workers. Trey & his girlfriend hung out with us in the animal barn for awhile & she encouraged Brandon to reach in & touch all the animals. She even took a duckling out of it's enclosure & let all the kids nearby pet it. Needless to say, Brandon thought she was his new best friend!

We found these roosters in a corner all alone. The rest of the small animal show barn was full of rabbits. I don't know why the roosters were there all alone.

Friday was the official swearing in ceremony at the Supreme Court of Arkansas. So it's completely official now - I'm licensed to practice law in Arkansas. Anyone need a lawyer???

Amy had this link posted on her Blog - check out the 3 videos - there are links to them at the top of the website. They're pretty funny.

Here are a few random pictures from the past week or so.
Brandon has grown more & more interested in drawing & coloring. He's over at his little table "working" quite often. He'll even take picture orders...Let me know if you'd like to place one. I'll ask him to draw for you & send it to you if he consents.One day while Nick was in Chicago running the infamously cancelled marathon, Jennifer & I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. It was pretty warm, so Brandon was pleased to find someone running their sprinkler. He ran back & forth a half dozen times at least before we could drag him away.
Brandon was very proud of his "spoon bridge" & asked me to take a picture of it. Can you tell he'd just eaten some bread with peanut butter? He was pretty proud of that too...
