Cache county fair

I love this picture of Ashley. All of her feelings are right there. Being her mom is the greatest thing in the world and I am so proud of her.
There is this PeeWee division for the 4-H so Spencer and Brynnlee got to show the lamb and get $2 and a big drink. This is the judge that we are not so fond of right now.

The kids worked so hard this year with thier animals. We still have the lamb and 2 more pigs to show at the state fair. I just love this close up of Ashley. I know what is going on in her head and so this picture means alot to me. She had a really stressful time at the fair, But she did an excellent job. We all can't wait for the state fair. I hope everyone can come and see us and support the kids.

Clint's 40th Birthday party

Clint told me that I need to add more pictures of other family members, not just Sugar. So heres to Clint. This is Jason and Clint and that one girl(Sugar). I wonder what all the smiles are for? Could it be because Clint just turned 40(on the 23rd)!?!

Todays fair day

Today we had to go out to the farm and load up the pigs and lamb. We were loading in the dark. I don't recommend this to anyone. We got the animals to the fair and they are so happy to be there in the shade, cooler weather and nice wood shavings for their bed.

My dad helped out with Spencer and Brynnlee and I think it was just as hard for him to get them up as it was for us getting the pigs and lamb loaded.

Being a 4H mom is pretty boring although it is fun at times. We get to do the scoopin' and cleanin' because we are so proud to just be able to be there and see them perform or whatever it is that they do. Tomorrow is going to be another big day so I am off to bed. Night Night



Tanner was the big winner today. He won first place in his class for market. Then he went on to win 7th OVERALL. The next day he won 2nd place in showmanship. I am so proud of him. Ashley did very well with the lamb. She had a very picky judge and so we did not know what to expect. I do have video of poor Ashley being knocked over by another lamb. She did have fun and now she is prepping the lamb for the state fair. Just imagine Rocky climbing those stairs all the way to the top yelling "Adrian"! But our lambs name is Bo Peep.

Cache county fair

Well today is the first day of the fair going-ons for us this week. The animals go on Wednesday, but today we sheer the lamb and shave the pigs and make our posters. The kids are really excited. Although Tanners pig is not going to make it he will still go and show Ashley's pig. Ashley will still show the lamb. We have a very busy week ahead of us. Anyone who would like to come and see us we should be there all day Thursday-Saturday.
