The JUAB County Fair was held Aug. 5-Aug. 10th.
It was the week after everyone went home. I would have been
too lonely if Bradley and Ethan hadn't called me.:)

I planted these flowers this last Spring.
My sun flowers are in bloom. :)
We harvested peas, cucumbers, green beans, yellow crook-neck
squash, tomatoes and corn this past week from our very own garden.

Princess Leia ready to go home from the hospital.
Grandpa, Andrea and I went to the Fair Exhibits on Aug. 9th.
This plague was carved by Joe Cummings,
they guy who taught Bethany to carve.
This is a true modern day chuck wagon.
Dad was mesmerized by the smell of the barbeque grill behind them.
Andrea was certain that if she had an extra $5, she could have taken this riding bull.
A blue ribbon entry with a timeless message.
This quilt had 3 dimensional clothes on it. Fun!
This is a counted cross-stitch picture. Amazing!
This was a sweepstakes cake. It was a simple, round
chocolate cake with a kit-kat fence and fondant piggies!
Go for it Aunt Karrie!
This little train gave free rides all afternoon and evening.
Yes! Dad knew the engineer. They both grew up in West Mountain.
Andrea was about to highjack the train, that was really a little kabota tractor.
A salt-n-pepper bunny.
This was the "beauty-queen" bunny.
A heist is about to take place. Both Grandpa and Andrea think we need one of these.
This is us at the RV rodeo. (Notice any highlights?)
They had a grand entry just like the Ute Stampede, minus the horses!
Here's the line up for the evening's entertainment.
You might think these snowmobile are just for show...but they really go!
Some of the kids were not very old, but they took this whole thing very seriously.
This rider was only seven years old! What do you think Bradley and Hayden?
We headed home just at sunset.
The sunsets in Levan are as beautiful as you can find anywhere.
The Allan Cousins had a brief reunion on
August 10th at the pavilion near the Payson Pool.
Grandma Marvin's cousin, Carol (Lee) was the spear header.
These are descendants of Wilbur Bird and DeEstie Weight Allan.
The older cousins took turns telling stories they remembered about Grandpa Allan.
This is Blaine Blad, oldest son of Aunt Loueda, Grandma Davis' younger sister.
Christoper (the kid on the table) is the son of Patty
Sue Lee Nielson (pink blouse) and the guy with the beard.
The guy in the red shirt was the only one from Uncle Blaine's family.
His name is Robert Allan, but he goes by Bob.
Blaine Blad talking to Uncle Hal. His brother, Paul Blad, is in the forefront.
Wendy and Sarah enjoying Patty Sue's story.
This is them again looking through some of the
books and pictures people brought to share.
These are some of my favorite cousins. Patty Sue is really one of Grandma Marvin's
1st cousins, but she is closer to my age and we share some great memories.
Paul, Blaine and Phil Blad.(Grandma Marvin's cousins.)
Grandpa K. and Elaine, (Grandma Marvin's 1st cousin) and
the oldest daughter of Aunt Rheuama.
LaRee, one of Aunt Neva Joy and Uncle Dean's girls.
She is also one of my favorites. She has faced some tough things in life,
but always has a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye.
Right to left: Rinda, Phil and his wife.
