2009 Putnam County Fair

Today was very exciting Elizabeth got Champion Gelding Halter for the first time ever and then she got grand Champion. She was so excited that she could not stand still out in the arena, she over heard that she was the winner before they announced it over the load speaker. So here are some pictures of her Showing Scobee in Western Halter.

I gave her a big hug and told her I was very proud of her she has worked really hard for it, and she deserved it.

OK Back to the cattle show which was yesterday, as well as English Halter

Byron got first and Grand Champion on his Simmental Steer, He did not place in the Grand Drive that night where all of the Champion compete for a over all first place.

I could tell he was very tired after he took Grand Champion, It is a lot of work to get your animals ready. You will see some of the photos of him getting his heifer ready.

Awh Christa wished you or Aunt Trish had been there to take the pics I am terrible with taken pics.

Here is the Heifer that Byron Showed

Elizabeth is showing Scobee again in English Halter Showman ship she got Second.

They both did good and Byron got a Champion on his Poland Gilt

Elizabeth got a champion on her Land Race Burrow.

Just so you know her feet hurt really bad and she could barely walk last night, I guess we should not have listen to the Doctor he told us her feet would be healed by now, but she has had bloody feet every night.

Grams and Elizabeth

Sissy chill laxen...

OK this is Grams Christmas present that I am just know giving her I think she liked it. Sham on me it did take time I took pics of the kids from 2004 to 2009 so she could see how much they have grown I had some pages that played music, I had help with it from Elizabeth and Eloise helped to when I would bring it to work.

Well Grams surprised me last night with a call with her telling me that she was here at Uncle Vern's. So Elizabeth and I spent the day with her, and I picked Byron up and we went to Uncle Vern and Aunt Trisha house to spend the evening with her.

Weekend In Tennessee

Elizabeths Spring Pic she forgot it was picture day and was pee--ddd off when she got to school and found out so I thought it still turned out nice.

So we went to Tennessee to see grams weekend before last and she wanted to go to the Grand Old Hatchery and listen to music so we went it was pretty neat and relaxing I think the kids thought that there would be more kids there to hang out with, but there wasn't.

Ok so the pictures are a little out of order we stopped and took some pics just in case for Elizabeths 4-H project.

I want you to know even after all of the rain the south had that week this creek was crisp and clean.

as you can see here this is the Mason Boat Dock and the water was so high from all the rain.

Bryon dancing with Grams then some crazy old lady got jealous and wanted Byron to dance with her. So Byron acted like he was a sleep the rest of the night.

Awh how sweet...........

This young man has a wonderful voice so I attached a video at the bottom so you all could hear him sing.
