Tyler

Today Tyler turns 7. How can this be???


He's growing up so fast. He is almost as tall as his sister, and probably about 10 times stronger than her.


He has an eagle eye with his bb gun. He's graduated from shooting at empty pop cans to shooting at birds.



But he still likes to go to Grandma's house and hunt for easter eggs.





If it involves trucks, tractors, farm equipment or cows, he is all over it.


Happy birthday Tyler!

Love,

Mom

Show results

We are home. Actually, we have been home since Sunday about 11:30. I just couldn't post until now due to being EXTREMELY tired and I had camera issues over the weekend. And yesterday was spent catching up at work.......you all get the idea:)




A fun weekend, a BUSY weekend and a tiring one. We got home and everyone crashed - we literally just sat around all day watching football games and movies.

But the kids did awesome! Jessie got a 6th and a 7th (out of 14) with Punx - who behaved like a champ for her:


And Tyler got two 6th places (out of 10) with Roscoe:




This show was huge. There were probably 300 steers and market heifers there on Saturday with 28 classes running in each of two rings. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures - we were too busy running from ring to ring as Tyler showed in class 10 in both rings and Jessie showed in class 12 in both rings. But the next show is January 9th and if the weather isn't too crappy, we will definitely go back down there and do it all over again. For sure we are going to the Ohio Beef Expo in March with both kids and both calves. And I heard a rumor last night about going to the Pennsylvania Beef Expo the end of March with both calves.....


Now I can finally get geared up for Christmas. Of course, I still have a couple smaller things to buy, a few things to finish making and everything to wrap. But I am off work starting this Friday until after New Year's Day, so hopefully I can get some stuff done the week before Christmas:)

Now I'm a basketball Mom!

Jessie enjoyed soccer tremendously this fall. And then she thought she might want to try basketball.





So far, she is enjoying it. Her name still could not be "Grace" by any stretch of immagination, but she is good at defending the ball.




Although yesterday she told me the boys in her class are all excited to come watch me play basketball when the games start up in January.



Hmm....is it the game she likes or the boys?
