..........the adventures of rich, ...........britt, maza & zoe........: September 2012

state fair

this weekend we went to the oklahoma state fair! we had SO much fun! we started off the day with a big yummy breakfast and we went with our friends the jackson's. my sister lexi is also living with us for the school year which is super fun! we love having her here. we loved seeing all the animals and trying so many fun foods. they had the coolest petting zoo with a little kangaroo, a full size llama, pig, donkeys, goats, deer and sheep. maza LOVED it. we visited the birthing center and saw 3 day old baby piggies. i wanted one so bad. we watched a few shows, walked through a car show and tried lots of food. we tried a corndog, corn on a stick, fried cookie dough and ribbon cut potato. YUM, but it's a good thing the fair is just once a year because i'm sure we consumed a million calories.

french braids

maza's hair is long enough to put in braids! i can't believe it. it was super hard to get a good picture, so this is as good as i could get :

swiss days

maza and i were lucky to enough to be able to head out west again at the beginning of september. we visited with the woods for a few days and had a blast with their family and the rest of the utah bradshaws. we then met up with mom taylor and aunt jodi for a weekend of fun in park city and went over to swiss days in midway. maza was a champion shopper and did really well. we had lots of fun.

on saturday we went to the piano guys concert at thanksgiving point. we picked up my cousin sydney at BYU and headed to the concert. of course it decided to be cold and rain that day and we were sorely unprepared. thankfully maryanne hadn't left yet and she saved the day by bringing us blankets! although is wasn't a beautiful night we still really enjoyed the concert! if you have never listened to the piano guys, you need to. they are so talented and so fun to watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfRtPbBFoGg&feature=relmfu

we spent a few more days in utah. we especially loved checking out the new outdoor mall in SLC and visiting temple square. we also visited with the davis family. it was so fun seeing katie and meeting levi!

we headed up to BYU-I next to bring taylor to college! it was so fun visiting grandma and grandpa in IF and getting taylor all set up at school. the campus has changed so much already. it was great being back and so fun walking around. emily and jackson came to visit us and that was so great seeing them and meeting jackson!

family reunion

the end of the july we went on a massive roadtrip. we traveled across oklahoma, kansas, wyoming, colorado and into utah to make it for a week long bradshaw reunion/wedding! the drive was less than enjoyable but we made it and it was worth it! :) we stayed in a beautiful cabin up in midway and had lots of fun swimming, playing tennis, going on walks, participating in a talent/fashion show, playing games and eating lots of great food! we ended the week with jayne and jason's wedding. jayne looked beautiful and the little cousins looked so dang cute in their matching dresses roxanne made! the reception was awesome. it was at the aviary in salt lake and maza loved looking at all the birds! we had a great time dancing the night away, but our plan to leave right after the reception and drive through the night to get back home didn't seem like such a great idea anymore. we stopped like ever 2 hours (rich thinks i didn't even make it an hour when it was my turn) so needless to say we made a lot of stops, but we made it back in time for a good nights rest and for rich to get back to work on monday!
