Spring Spectacular


I'm not sure I like this picture. She looks so much older than 10 in it!

Jessie had her first steer show of the year today.


After some nerves, she went into the ring for her first class.

She came out of the open steer class with a second in her class (out of 5 steers). Then it was wait and wait and wait some more to go back in for the championship drive.


After a long break, she went back in for the wayne county steer class, and came out of there with another second (out of 6 steers). And then wait some more to go in for the championship drive....
I love this green shirt that her grandmother made her, which is getting to small for her now, after she wore it last year at the fair and at the fall show we went to. I rushed this morning to make her a necklace and earrings to wear - we had brought a large black metal steer pendant and two smaller ones at the show last December - I did take a picture of it, but it is on the camera out in the other room. And I'm too tired to find the cord to the camera again, walk out there and get the camera:)

Later,
Kris

Super confident showing posture! I think that's the best/worst of it as a mom, when they are so GREAT and you realize they used to be your baby. Congrats Jessie!

Congrats to Jessie! That green shirt is awesome. Really puts her in the spotlight. To bad it's getting to small but sadly these sweet little babies of ours grow up. I'm thinking I only have a year and all of mine will be bigger than me.

Congrats to Jesse! She looks great in those pictures. Confident and composed. I know what you mean about growing up too fast. My oldest will be 10 this winter...I can still remember being pregnant with him sooo clearly! Sometimes I wish I could slow it down just a little bit.
