Emily Birthday Party

I Know that her Birthday was a month ago but I just getting to know how to use the blog.

We had two party for Emily one on Sunday with a lot of family that show up. The weather started off terrible by the end of the party it was nice so were able to go outside and have our dinner that was planned. The kids sure enjoyed roasting hot dogs and also smores in our New Fire Pit. On august 26Th we had her own birthday cake and I had one gift that she didn't get with the rest of the family. She was so excited when her cake was a DORA CAKE. I want to thank every one that came it sure made it wonderful it's the most family I have ever had come to a birthday party, I guess that want happens when you tell family that their will be dinner.

Duchense county Fair

Zack took a pig to the fair this year.

We had lots of fun up at their fair.

On day one we had to take the pigs to the fair by 3:00p.m, I got off around 2:00 so I could help load the pigs. When Harding got to our place I was ready to load the pigs and head for the fair. It only took 30 minutes for Trever pig to load today, Iam glad no one had their camera they would be laughing over the pictures of us fall in the pig mud. So I had to go back over to house and change my clothes. So we finally got on our way, When we got up their they weighted the pigs then the boys had to fix up their pens for the pigs. They put us on the outside so I send Bryan home to get a tarp before he got home they let us move the pigs inside so I called Bryan and told him never mind, then sheila decide to have Bryan bring up mom trailer so we would have something to stay in while we were up here all week long.

The Second day we got up early we had to clean the pigs before they showed them to the judges, It was funny watching the kids running around trying to get a pen to wash their pigs because they showed up late. Zack did a pretty good job for never showing a pig before he had a little bit of a hard time because their was a pig in their that just wanted to run so it would get Zack pig upset also, they all receive a showing ribbon with $3.00 for even trying.

On day three it was market class and that when they judge your pig on the quality of the pig, today Zack did a lot better then yesterday by moving his pig around in the corral. Zack received a first place ribbon with $ 8.00 today we was very excited today.

On day four we got up early to wash the pigs like on the other days put the pigs in the pen soaped then down then the water went off for about 30minutes so our pigs were soapy and in the cleaning pen and they sure weren't liking this at all. Zack looked awesome today we was also very happy but also sad at the same time because it was the day to sell their pigs today. Zack did really good today he goes into the pen by them self today and their bidder that will bid on his pig he was happy when he received $675 for his pig and it only cost $300 dollars to raise it so he made profit.

Akela Council 24

I not very good as this blogging thing but I am learning.



In August I went to Akala Council 24 and had a wonderful time.(This is a Scouting thing for the people that don't know)

On the first day we went all day long we didn't have very long to set anything up. We went to some training then their where things that we had to make as a den. I shared a tent with one of my den members. She was really awesome. We went long hours and always in a hurry all 4 day that we were their I don't think that we got in bed before midnight any of the nights. then we where going again my 6:30 in the morning. The trading post opened at 7:00 in the morning trying to get things done before we had to be in line for opening ceremonies about 7:45 in the morning. We did a lot of training in the lodge but we also did a lot of fun things outside that brought it more hands on. I am so glad that I went as a New Den Leader know instead of later because they helped us understand the leader book and also things that we should be doing at our own den and pack meetings. Our Den was called "Apache". we did a lot of things every day so I was full of energy when I got back and the kids thought that their mommy was crazy because when I was talking to Bryan I just keep on talking telling him about my entire week in about 10 minutes. The kids thought my finger nails were crazy because we paint them different colors for all the different tribes. Gloria thought it was funny I also painted her I cant even tell you the last time I painted her nails, so she was very excited.
