It's SHOW time!


Lyndon showed 2 pigs in the BCJLS for 2013.  Jack was the 1st pig to show.  Lyndon did a great job with him and learned various showmanship skills since last year.  Jack was 3rd in his class of spots.











Next Fred showed.





Fred was 2nd in his class of Yorkshire and was Reserved Breed Yorkshire Champion.








Lyndon also participated in the 4-H photography show.  Participants could enter an unspecified amount of photos....which Lyndon took full advantage of.  Lyndon's pictures were taken at The Ranch, City Park, and the sunrise was taken at our house as we were leaving for school-Lyndon noticed the beauty and ran back inside to capture the pic.



Lyndon placed 1st and 3rd in the junior division.  Several of his pictures have gone on to the district show.




Lyndon then competed in showmanship and did a GREAT job, but didn't place.







Lyndon did make the sale with Fred.








Scared to smile....his missing tooth he lost might show!


This is the Mr. Silly that I love so much!!!!!!

























We couldn't get Fred to cooperate and FINALLY after so many attempts he finally went where we wanted!





Lyndon's Thank You Cards.



Happy New Year


Wowwie, Wow, this has probably been my longest blog absence....  It seems like things have been so fast paced and I did give-up 'recreational internet time' for lent-except on my lunch break.  However, I can't just blame that for my absence.

We had a nice calm New Year's.  One of Cody's dearest friends came in with his son Ben-jam'in as Cody has nicknamed him from Abilene as well as another local couple.

Cody was the chef for the night!



Lyndon and Benjamin played Legos, listened to music, & road the 'Hoopty'.

This was our 1st time to use my Christmas present from Cody...It worked great and kept us from freezing!



Oh the giggles you could hear!

To ring in the New Year...kid and adult style!

Oh and DS time!!





2013 has already shown that it will FLY by even quicker than 2012 did!  
Happy New Year!
