A big First Grader!

Today, Miss O started FIRST GRADE! Wow - it seemed like just yesterday she was learning to talk! :)

She is excited to be going to school all day long! What in the world am I going to do with my days now???? It was a tear jerker leaving her the first day!

Wow - I have a 6th grader!

I am having a hard time believing that my Little J is actually going to the Middle School!!! WOW! He is really excited (and I think alot nervous!) to go into 6th grade! Here he is on the first day....

Miss O and the Fair

Miss O won the Steer Wrestling event at the Pee-Wee Rodeo... ok, it was knocking over a saw horse while riding a stick horse, but she got a trophy - that is all she cares about!!

Fair 2011 - Piggies

The Fair seems to come sooner and sooner every year! We are never quite ready for it to get here and then always really really ready for it to be over - haha!

This was a tough year, since Little J was going to be doing the Fair all by himself, since Big Al is in Montana.

Little J's two pigs were primped and pampered and feed really well.. washed, clipped, wormed, scrubbed and exercised... more than ready! Shiloh walked into weigh in sporting a healthy 268 pounds. Chopper, sadly had pushed the weight limit of 300 pounds at 304... which is fine because we knew that one of them would be freezer filler :)

Little J and his piggies took Blue Ribbons in all his classes. He was pretty proud of himself and enjoyed Fair (for the most part)!
