Awards Night

Another week has come and gone and there has not been a spare minute wasted! The kids had their 4H awards night on Saturday. Brooke had to be there at 1:00 to decorate and prepare for the big event at 6:00. The kids got lots of awards for all their hard work on projects during the year.

 

Brooke had a ceremony at beginning to welcome her and the other kids of the board into the new year for the county council of 4H. Brooke was and still is the parliamentarian.

 

The rest of the week was spent catching up on fair projects that are due tomorrow! Pictures of the chickens still had to be taken and record books had to be finished. Might I add that the science project is still not finished!

 

We had one of Ashlyn's show chickens come down with fowl pox. It is a bad case of it! The pox formed on her eye and it has swollen her eye shut. She is not eating very well either. She won't be going to fair for sure. I am hoping nobody else gets it! It is very contagious and can cause secondary respiratory infection so the whole coop is on antibiotics to hopefully keep that from happening.

 

 

 

There is really not a dull moment around here for sure! We have barn workday at the fair grounds tomorrow to prepare for fair. 20 days till fair!!!

 

Fall festival will be next weekend!! 

 

Drill Team

So another week has come and gone!!! Last weekend Brooke had a drill team competition. She has been working all year toward this and did very well at every practice but........ Kitty lost her mind there! Poor Brooke had to ride her with her bouncing off the walls. She did so well controlling her. Needless to say Kitty will not be returning to drill work!

Kitty- theme-Angels (which kitty was not an angel at all!)

 

After that ride was such a disaster, Tony went home and got Willow. Poor willow got pulled out of the pasture with no practice on this drill since may! That didn't go very well either. It was much better than Kitty but still not a great ride. We were all ready to go home for sure!

 

Willow -theme- Men in Black

 

 

Monday Brooke had to be at school at 5:45 am for an FFA leadership training field trip. With the amount of leadership training classes she has she should be able to lead the USA by now!!!

We finished out the week with the dentist (more cavities... never ending nightmare), county council meetings, review board, 4h meeting and lots of homework. This weekend we have 4h awards!

 

No cavities for Ashlyn!
