Dallas' 1st Day of Pre-K

Today, Dallas started a new school year.  This year he is in the Pre-K class (4 year olds), and I am proud to report that he did awesome when I dropped him off this morning!  We got a very nice rain shower this morning as well, so our first day picture had to be inside...

Here he is hanging up his bag and checking out with whom he is sharing his cubby

Last week the school hosted an open house so the kiddos could meet their teacher and see the classroom.  Dallas enjoyed showing Reba around the room.

We were glad to see they had the BEST team for the kiddos to pretend to be a part of

One more game before heading home...

Until next time...

Dallas' 1st Pedal Pull

Last weekend we were at the Rushville Antique Tractor Show.  Dallas decided to participate in his first ever pedal pull!  Luckily, Aunt Josie was able to take a video on her phone, and Gram had her camera (Momma had forgotten her's at home!)

The Awards

Dallas placed 2nd in his age group!  If you ask Dallas how he did, he will tell you he won a gold medal.  Think he's been enjoying the Olympics?

Great job Dallas!  We are so proud of you!

Until next time...

Sheep Showing

At the end of July, the kiddos were able to help Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa at a couple different sheep shows.  The first one was at the Jackson County Fair.  We had a nice little surprise when some of our extended family showed up to watch!

Reba showed George Martin "her" sheep

Dallas had a grand time "tractor pulling" on the sheep trim table!

Not really sure what this look was all about...

Hey Reba, Smile for the judge!

Helping Aunt Lisa

We figured up that night, that we have been showing at the Jackson County open show for 18 (or more) years.  This was the first time we came home with the Supreme Ewe!

A few days after the Jackson County show, we were at the Morgan County Fair!  Reba wasn't feeling very well, so she stayed ring-side while Dallas helped in the ring...

Dallas is trying to figure out how this is going to turn out

Dallas fell in love with "Baby" the ewe lamb; thankfully, she was pretty tame and let Dallas "show" her

This is how Reba spent most of the show...

After the show was over, we stopped at Steak 'n Shake for supper...once Reba got a little applesauce in her, she was back to her old self!

Until next time...

Last week, we joined Ma-maw, Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa at the Jackson County Fair to help show the sheep!  The kiddos were in good spirits before the show, and they actually allowed Ma-maw and I to take some great photos...

Until next time...
