Fun Day!

The boys tubing at the lake.

Baby B took a snooze after a long day!

Big B tubed FOREVER!!!!!!!! He wondered the next day why his arms were sore?

Baby B loves being on the boat!!

Boating is always better with friends....the L Gang!!

It was a beautiful day last Friday and we spent the whole day at the lake. The boys had fun tubing, we all swam in the lake, and T got a nice ski in before we left. That meant I was driving the boat which makes the kids very nervous!!!! We met our friends there and had a great day and topped it off with Monicals pizza! Summertime memories in the making...............
I post this today as I hear Baby B NO, Little B go get a wipe, hurry... for the 5th time. I tell ya that girl is into everything she shouldn't be. She has smashed a chocolate donut in the carpet, dumped the donuts, pooped in her little car as we were getting ready to take a bath (I have a picture of proof but will spare you that grossness), poured out a bottle of soap on the floor after her bath. Oh how I dream of being back at the lake.....................

4-H County Fair 2009

Big B WON Jr. Showmanship!!!!!!!!!!! This is a very big honor and we are so PROUD of Big B!!!! The judge picks him out of the age bracket based on many criteria. He is such a good kid!!! Congrats Big B We Love You!!!!

The boys and their sale pigs. This is money they have to put away until college. They hate it now but will be thankful for it later!!!

A long day at a 4-H fair hog show and a blue ring pop make for a blue lipped sleepy girl!!

During the Grand Champion Gilt Drive!! Big B's gilt got first in his class so he got to drive his hog in the championship drive!! This was our first year and we were all excited for the opportunity to be in the ring verses watching outside of it!! We didn't win but there is always next year or the year after.............

Little B was being interviewed by the judge on his Leg0 collection....

He got an A rating and third place over all in his class!!!! Not bad for our first year.

The boys did great at the fair this year. The pigs took first in 4 classes what a great year!!! We were so excited for the boys. They were thrilled to be able to drive the hogs in the championship drives. We are now getting ready for the state fair in 3 weeks!!

Zoo, Carnival Rides, and Wedding !!

Feeding the giraffes was Little B's favorite part of the zoo! That tongue was long and gross!

Little B loved the giraffes.

Baby B loves anything that lets her be outside!
