July 23 update

It's been a bit of a busy week since I last posted. Last Wednesday through Friday Mike and I worked with the boys to get their projects finished for the 4-H fair. Jesse made a really neat and rustic cabinet for our game room out of old barnwood. Chris made a cart to hold our cattle blowers. They also completed several projects for beef, vet science, foods and livestock judging. It was a very busy week to say the least. All of their hard work paid off as they both recieved all blue ribbons on their projects. Saturday was the beef show at the fair. Chris showed a March 06 Chi heifer and a December 06 Simmental heifer and was champion in each of those breeds. Jesse showed a December 06 Chi heifer who was reserve champion to Chris and a February 06 Maine heifer who was champion of that breed. We sold a little February 07 heifer to a young girl and she won the crossbred heifer show and ended up being the reserve champion overall. All in all it was a very successful day.

Today we had to take Mike's truck in to the shop. Not sure what's wrong with it, but hopefully they can figure it out this week for us. We don't have any shows until a week from Friday.

This Sunday we're going to host a bridal shower for Mike's niece. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and hopefully we can get some work done on wedding stuff for her.

I think I'm going to sign off now as I'm battling a sinus infection and need some rest.
