Growing Blessings: A Weekend To Remember

What a fun weekend! It started off Friday for me. I took the day off since my bestie since Jr. High was flying in and spent the day with her Friday. We had a great time shopping, visiting and reminiscing! I bought a pair of boots and there are just somethings you can't shop for without your best-friend or mom there to tell you the real truth! I got them and they were even comfortable. They weren't flip flops but they will do!

Once we got back to town we went out to check on the pig business happening at the show barn...well that was interesting two city girls checking on the pigs. Britni got to pet pigs, cows, lambs and any other animal that was out there! But, man was it cold. Some how we got tricked into taking Kaileigh and so the three girls headed to the basketball game..it was nice and warm in there! Anyway, we had a great time.

Saturday morning started early. The boys left at 7 to head to the Show Barn. Kalebh was nervous and his Daddy was even worse. Us girls stayed behind till the ripe time of 9:30 to go. Kaileigh woke up ready to role. She loves the shows and all the people animals and really she is great help for the most part. Kaileigh Ready to Show!

We went out and caught the end of the lamb show and then watched the cow show...heifers, Steers and milk cows...very interesting show and such pretty animals. I enjoyed watch it all but as the time came closer to the pigs the more nervous I became. As parents we always want our kids to do good but, there is just something about them preforming, showing any of those kinds of things that just makes me want to throw up! Anyway, Kalebh did a great job! He got 2 1st places and 2 3rd places and we got a reserve grade breed with Big Daddy. So we had a great day!

Kaileigh got to show in the PeeWee show and it was a great time. Everyone is a winner with a Grand Champion Ribbon!

After the stock-show we have the sell on Monday night. They don't really sell their animals it is more like local business making a donation to the kids that show. Anyway, it is always a neat time to see people come together to support our kids. Anyway, Kaileigh decided it would be fun to play in one of the pig pens. As she was crawling over to get out she fell off and well...here is what we ended up with!

We head to San Angelo in a couple of weeks and we are looking forward to that! Raider will not be going to Anglo and he broke a leg this last week. Poor Raider!
