Update: Homecoming
The WHOLE group!
After a little snacking, and goofing off, they loaded
up in the REALLY cool ride
and headed off to the dance in STYLE.
It was so fun to watch them be so excited and nervous.
They all enjoyed the dance and I heard a rumor that HE actually danced. :)
Freshman Homecoming Week. DONE.
Next year, they are going to be ready!

Christmas Fun
PLENTY of Legos to go around!
New alarm clock for the boy whose day is WAY wrong and messed up if he doesn't get his morning routine done on time!
Travis especially had a VERY Happy Holiday:
He was SO excited to get on this thing! I am already afraid :)
Miss Kendyl loved her doll bed and blankets...and so did Landon! He promptly climbed on it, and she promptly shoved him off. Hilarious. That kid is a monkey...reminds me of a little Travis!
Now, onto planning for next year...like I say EVERY year. And, I will be screaming in at the finish line again I am sure! Here's to hoping to be ahead of the game...

Catch Up
First, I forgot to mention County Fair.
Both boys did really well with all of their projects. Poultry went good for Justin, but Jared ended up NOT showing his chicken...uh, due to it's untimely death the day before. Seems the trip to the fair did not set kindly with her and she decided it was time to go to chicken heaven. We were sad to see her go, but her and her lovely sister were great starter 4-H projects for Jared for the last few years, and quite frankly we were expecting them to exit alot sooner this this! AND, he was happy to not have to show...poultry has never been one of his favorite project areas!
Rabbits went fairly well this year too, the boys both got blue ribbons for their market pens and got good prices at the auction. Justin did well in showmanship and conformation with his little bunny, and Jared did great in showmanship....but conformation was an intersting time! Now that I think about it, Jared seem to have one mishap after another this year. :) When it came time for showmanship, the judge took a look at his bunny and asked him whether it was a buck or a doe...he replied buck, as that was what he thought (and bought)...she proceeded to let him know that she couldn't tell whether it was a buck OR a doe!!!! GREAT. We all got a good laugh, and now we have another pet to feed. :( Actually, hopefully his 4-H leader will replace it with a rabbit that IS a buck or a doe...NOT both! STRANGE.
All in all, a good time, with great weather. The boys are excited to try their hand at the pig project next year.
September arrived and school began with a bang.
Little dude, first day:
Oldest dude, first day: Haven't tackled him for the obligatory picture yet. Stay tuned.
We are off and running with school activities and busy, busy, busy. AND, fighting our first colds of the season. Bleh.
