For Labor Day weekend we had 5 out of 6 of Jesse's siblings here in Blackfoot. This weekend started the Eastern Idaho State Fair and my mother in law's birthday was on Labor Day so it was a great excuse to get everyone together. We also got to show off Zeke and meet our newest niece Sydney who was born two days after Zeke on the 14th.
Here we are sitting along the road watching the parade that kicks off the fair. (The older girl in orange is our niece Allie.) As you can see in the second picture Rosalee doesn't go ANYWHERE without a book. The only thing that would get her nose out of the book were the horses. Her favorites were the draft horses pulling carts and the fancy dressed "cowgirl princess". Some of the people would throw candy to the kids and Rosalee really didn't care about it. I had to practically shove the candy in her face to get her to eat some. Oh well, more for me! Zeke enjoyed the parade like he enjoys everything else- by spending the first half eating and the second half sleeping.

Jesse and my father in law got the tub installed and running in time for the kids to come. So Rosalee and her cousins Allie and Kaylee got to break it in. Kaylee was frightened of the jets but Rosalee was IN LOVE! She kept giggling and rubbing her back up against them. Now every night she asks if she can go in the bubble tub.
Jesse the pooper scooper!
I can't complain too much because his employment means free admission to the fair for me and a guest of my choice.
Rosalee gnawing on a tiger ear (I've always called them elephant ears but when in Idaho...) sadly she wasn't the biggest fan of it.
Unlike the tiger ear Rosalee was a fan of cotton candy and helped herself to as much of it as she wanted! I took the second picture from Lindsey's blog because I was too busy laughing hysterically to get a picture of my piglet child. When we got back to the house she kept taking some from her cousins. If they'd put a piece down she was on it faster than lightening!
The snacks that Rosalee ate were provided by her Uncle John and Aunt Lindsey. Here she is sitting and eating more cotton candy with Hudson (in the red) and Gavin. John has a daughter but she was busy sleeping (like Zeke) so we didn't get a picture of her.
Twin cousins!
Here is Zeke with his cousin Sydney being held by my brother in law Jared. These babes were born less than 48 hours apart.
Monday was Linda, my mother in law's, birthday. Jenny (Jesse's sister) made her a cupcake bouquet for dessert that the kids enjoyed helping her eat.

Your kids are so adorable! We started doing some more editing to your pics and Rosalee seriously looks like a child model in some of them. So cute. Sounds like you had a fun weekend!
