Lincoln county fair

here are a few pictures from the fair this summer... i think the tractors were definitely the highlight

after party

while cousins were in town we went to roaring springs. we had a lot of fun on the slides and in the wave pool. little brother needs to grow another inch and 1/2 before next time it was pretty sad when they didn't let him go down the slide

after our swimming adventure we went to Ice Cream. A child sitting behind us said to their mom "that kid in the flag shirt, is really messy" she was of course talking about little brother. once that happened then Crazy Cousin C decided he should be a little messy-er as well. though it was sticky it was fun. Big sister managed to stay clean through it all

Grandma fairychild

a few weeks ago we were in Boise to celebrate the life of an amazing woman know to many grandchildren, great grand children, and great great grandchildren as Grandma Fairchild. though her passing was difficult for everyone there were many wonderful blessings that come to the Fairchild and Christiansen Families. One of the Greatest blessings was that the family came together, though for a sad reason we were able to see cousins, aunts, uncles and friends that haven't seen in a very long time if ever.



The grandchildren and great grandchildren had an opportunity to sing " I am a Child of God" at the funeral. it was beautiful and Grandpa told me after how much he appreciated it and was certain that Grandma loved it as well
We will greatly miss Grandma and hope that we can continue to please her in all that we do.

split second
