Labor Day....Celebrate the End of Summer at the Rib Cook-Off

Big boys only drink from cups.












Yahoo for water, it was hot!











Oh, I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.









Just hanging out and visiting.

Don't we look cute...I can't smile for photos anymore and I swear I'm not picking my nose.

The Conforti's!

I had a pretty chill long weekend. We played outside a lot and I went shopping with my mommy and daddy for new fall/winter clothes and got a haircut. Boy, I needed it. I got a new pair of Vans but I'm not crazy about them. My daddy tried to get me to wear them today and I cried and cried. Mommy asked me if I liked my new shoes and I told her 'no'! I'm turning into such a big boy and becoming very vocal about my likes and dislikes. I'm also very versed on the word NO! I love to tell everyone No, No! I'm like a crazed hall monitor making sure nobody does anything I don't like.
Today, my family and I went to the annual Rib Cook-off in downtown Sparks. It is sort of a final summer hurrah in our area. Believe it or not winter is on the way. It has been a very hot summer around here. We were able to go to the Rib Village which meant we had a shaded table for the 10 of us, plus free food and drink!!! It was great...I met a little girl who was just a little bit younger than me. We were planning our escape while our parents weren't looking which, of course was about 3 seconds. I was also very very excited to see baby Sabrina who is now 3 months old. She was very sad at one point and I tried to make her happy by taking all her toys out of her stroller and giving them to her. I'm pretty sure it helped. I of course wouldn't touch a rib, but I did enjoy some fruit and ice cream. I was so tired at the end I almost feel asleep in my backpack. It was a lot of fun!
