Are you ever afraid to try something because you might fail? I could list a whole bunch of things that I would love to try but fear of failure keeps me from doing them. Devin on the other hand is pretty much fearless. He doesn't let the fear of failure keep him from trying. This last week he did one of those things that I would be scared to death to do, he entered three of his pictures into the county fair. 
I was so proud of him! He loves to take pictures not because he is the best at it, but because he just loves doing it. I am happy to announce that Devin got two first place blue ribbons and one red second place ribbon. WAY TO GO!!!! Way to be brave and try!We had a fun time Friday night going to the fair to see all the displays and stuff. I love the fun fair atmosphere. I can't wait until the State Fair! We were so amazed at the different stuff that people entered into the fair. Some of the stuff is so beautiful and other things are just down right strange.
As we walked through all the baking stuff I couldn't help but think that my mom would kick trash if she ever entered any of her cookies. One of our favorite displays was the gigantic Lego display. It was HUGE! It had a bunch of trains that went around it. I was just blown away by the detail. I think that is what is so much fun about the fair. The fair is a chance for everyone to share their talents. Even if they are not the best at them, they still get the chance to show off something that they are proud of that they did.

I'm impressed--way to go Devin!
Way to go Devin! Those are some really cool pictures. I love the snake picture! That is one talent I wish I could master-the art of photography. That is great you married a man who can take pictures! You are going to have awesome pictures of your kids hanging around your house! I am so jealous!
Wow Devin!!! Two in one year! That is wonderful. I haven't even managed to get one. Oh well red is my favorite color. I'm so proud of you!
You always take the time to compose your pictures and you have deserved a blue for a long time!
Congratulations! That is very exciting.
Very cool about the ribbons! Way to go "Idaho-State-Song-Singing" Devin!
Though creepy that one of the photos is of a rattle snake! Eek!
Congratulations! I wish I had gone to the fair and seen them there. We didn't got his year.
Thanks everyone. You're all very kind. I gotta set one thing strait, though. Since it was the Utah county fair, there weren't a whole lot of entrants. We actually only saw a few photos without ribbons.
But it was still fun.
That is so great!
That is great.
Jessica's family always submits things to the state fair and they win ribbons. Go for the big time, Devin! Instant fame awaits you in the state fair.
You can submit any food item and win a ribbon, I am convinced. I am thinking about pickling my bowl of Honey Smacks and submitting it.
That's awesome. You have always had a good eye.

Now that Devin is going to be a Papa we can call him Papa-Ratzi
