Funny Email...

Email exchange today between Quade's teacher and myself....boy does that kid LOVE high school....   Hi Barb, Do you have any idea what got all over the back of Quades shirt today? Just so I know how to treat it when I wash it Thanks Francie   reply...   Francie, It is field paint. After he made a touchdown 4th hour he rolled on the fresh field markings.   Hopefully it will come out, Barb   my reply back...   Barb, Lol that is funny....not for the new shirt but funny just the same...now he can wear his glory to school on occasion! Haha Francie

Great Trip....but.....

I had the pleasure of taking the exchange students on an awesome trip to California this last weekend.

They had a blast and were overwhelmed with Awe

but at home a different kind of Awe was going on....

Noah Broke his Collar bone in his football game on Saturday...

a Call a mom NEVER wants to get when she is out of town

I am ALWAYS the one that takes the sick or broken kids to the doctor/hospital

It was a sickening feeling to not be there

he is such a tuff boy...

We know from experience (with Hayden) that this is a very painful injury

but Noah didn't cry or really complain much

we can tell it hurts a lot by the way he holds himself and the way he walks

He is just a tuff boy!

unfortunately after 3 weeks his season is over

but he still goes to practice everyday just to support the guys!

4H

So Taylor had chosen to forgo Soccer this year and do 4H with the horses
she has been working really hard to prepare for the final event of the year.

This last Saturday was the first half of the event.

Brittnee came out to help out as we had A LOT going on that day.

This first day she used Dallas for all of her classes

Horse people are up at the crack of dawn.

Maybe this is why I'm not a horse person?

                           Attempting to keep him Clean after his bath the day before

 Lots of preparation to get everything just right

 She competed in Showmanship and Bareback

 Pleasure, horsemanship, western riding, trail riding and Reining.

 Brynlee loves the horses soooo much!
here she is on Jett

 Taylor's friend Colten came out to support her too

Brynlee really likes him LOL

 And then it started to rain....HARD....and hail.....and they called it for the day

she will go back today to finish up her events with Dallas

and then she will do barrels and poll bending with Jett

overall she did pretty good so far for her first attempt at 4H
We are very proud of you Taylor
and all you have accomplished!
