On Tuesday night, we continued our State Fair of Texas tradition and headed out…in the rain. It was raining, it was cold, but it was the last week of the Fair and we had been promising the kids that was the day we were going…so we went. And we had a BLAST!
The petting zoo is always our favorite part!
Sweet girl loves waffles and strawberries, so this choice was a given. Smith went for the Popsicle this time :).
And because I love you and know what you’re about to ask me…I’m just going to tell you now…
And tomorrow…
It’s my Halloween edition! My co-host knows how to make everything spooktacular!
And if you missed me this morning on Good Morning Texas, you can find all of the recipes I shared by clicking here.
Have a great Thursday!

LOVED this post! All of the pics were great, I think it's so much fun to hear about what you ate, but my favorite part was reading your "fair story" again. No matter how many times I hear it, it doesn't get old. And yes! Prayers that sweet Ashby will be taking a corny dog DOWN next year too!!!!
Carmen says
love, love how much fun you had despite the rain!! your fair story is a beautiful testimony! 🙂
Julie C. says
I absolutely loved this post!! I loved hearing not only your fair story, but your family's too. Your family sure likes to have babies back to back, huh 😉 And of course I also loved hearing about the foods you ate!!! That fried pumpkin pie sounds delicious & right up my alley!!!!

Hi Shay,
Love your blog and the pictures of your sweet family! I've lived in Texas my whole life (and I'm a grandma!)and I've never been to the fair and don't know any of my friends or family who have ever gone. I'm from the Houston area and I think the fair is mostly popular if you live around the Dallas area. I didn't even realize Texas had a state fair till I was a teenager cause I'd never heard about it! Looks like fun though!

I am so impressed by your 3 rounds of food! And, I love that you love the fair! Such a sweet tradition! Praying that sweet Ashby is here to celebrate it with you next year! 🙂
Blue-Eyed Bride says
Love all the pictures! One of the things I miss most about having my parents in Dallas is visiting for the fair! So much fun!
Casey says
You've never been to the Iowa State Fair. Ranked #1 in the country I do believe. Just sayin'! 🙂

I don't live in Texas and have access to the Good Morning Texas show. Is there a way to watch your segment on a video clip? I have tried both times and been unable to find it.
Thanks.
Kim

Great post! I also pray you have a family of five next year. But what I really want to know…what did your husband eat?! 🙂
Liz/happymommy says
I love that you know your readers so well and know what they are going to ask about, especially when it comes to your outfits!!!
The fair looks like fun and seriously that picture of Andrew and Smith in the car is the best picture….daddy's and their kiddos just melt my heart!!!

Love this posting, I love how memories are tied to such important things in our lives! Prayers for your family of 5!

Loved this post-looks just like our annual Calgary Stampede. This year the big eat was deep-fried butter. Couldn't bring myself to try it, but deep fried pumpkin pie would've been tasty! If you ever get the chance bring your family up here to Calgary-it'll be just like the Texas State fair with a Canadian twist. Enjoy your day! 🙂

Too funny, I'm from Boston and always say I should have been born a Texan:)

2 quick questions – what color are you boots? I'm finally buying a pair. And second do you think the boots are travel friendly? I'm traveling to Turkey and am debating whether the boots would be good walking boots. Appreciate your help.
Kate at Green Fashionista says
Fried pumpkin pie?! That sounds DELISH!
Tammy Nelson says
Love all the photos from your trip to the FAIR !!!! What a fun time you all had 🙂
Love your jacket and scarf !! The kids are always dressed adorable.
Aubrey says
I've called several states "home," and I think all fairs are are totally awesome in their own way. I wonder if the State Fair of Texas will be considered our "home" fair when we eventually cross the Atlantic for keeps??
Mix and Match Mama says
I have lots of answers to your questions! First, my Hunter boots are High Gloss Black and High Gloss Wisteria. I have traveled with them before and they're GREAT walking shoes!! Wear them on the flight so that they don't weigh down your suitcase! We bought our peppermint oil at Sprouts but places like Whole Foods sells it too.
Jaren says
Looks like a really fun time! Love your fair stories!
Sarah E @ theteacherswife.com says
Love your fair story…and agree with your comment about life not being fair, but God always working it out perfectly!! 🙂
Lauren says
Love your fair stories!! I didn't realize that Kensington and Smith were so close! I have a 3 year old, an 11 month old and am 5 months pregnant….we are thrilled but I am a bit nervous. My 3 year old girl is really helpful, so its just the two CLOSE babies that I am really nervous about! Knowing that you and your grandmother have both survived back to back babies helps remind me that I will be just fine!! Send tips…and sanity pills 🙂
{Hi Sugarplum!} says
We are ON for tomorrow afternoon, and the pumpkin pie is where I'm headed first!! Loved your recap!

Kensington's Wellies are so cute and I could definitely afford them for myself (a fully grown adult who isn't growing anymore), but wondering how often you buy "spendier" items for your kids who you know will outgrow them in no time? How many sizes up do you buy in anticipation?
Erin says
I hope your fam of 5 will get to visit next year, Shay! What a blessing that would be! 🙂
Shoshanah says
Fried pumpkin pie sounds absolutely divine! I haven't heard of it either, but think I'd love it.
Maryellen says
I just returned from the Fair. My Hubby treated me to a birthday trip and I said I want to go to the Texas State Fair.
It was such fun and YES without a doubt the BIGGEST. I'm from New Jersey and ours is so much smaller. We had a great time and you folks from Texas are gracious and kind . . .

Hey Shay,
Loved your GMT clips. Just wondering if you had the chance to talk to Melissa Rycroft behind the scenes. I loved her on the Bachelor & DWTS. So cool that she came out to see you during your segment! Good job on the show! You seemed so comfortable on camera.
Haley Southey says
Just looked back at all of the fair posts and they make my heart so happy! God is so good!
