They're Here!

Time flies doesn't it? I swear we just did this, and now we (well mostly Katie) is doing it again. Raise a pig through Pateros FFA to sell at the Okanogan County Fair in September. Ahh, last year though!Katie probably wouldn't appreciate the above shot but this was delivery day. The bad thing was she "forgot" to mention until Saturday night about 7pm that the pigs would be arriving the next day around 6pm. Ugh. Not that the pig pen has to be spotless for pigs but still there is a little bit of work and plus they do need food! That meant instead of going to our building for Stake Conference on Sunday we went to Wenatchee (so we could get at least one bag of food to get by until Thursday when I can get back to Wenatchee). What can you do?
It looks awful but this it the way the piglets are carried from the trailer to their pen. They are noisy, wiggly little things and kinda hard to catch if they get away from you.

Checkin out her new home.

Whew! Long day for these little gals :)
And one last thing, I still can't believe I have a daughter who is raising a pig! Never, ever would I have thought that.

small town parade

I was so glad that Bob, Katie and I were able to go to the Manson Apple Blossom Parade this morning. We missed the Wenatchee parade because of softball. It was perfect, the sun was out, we were able to show up only 15 minutes prior to the start of the parade, we just happen to walk down the street that Bronte's float was waiting on! Enjoy the pics...




the rest of the day wasn't quite as fun. I cleaned out my closet, yikes!






by the way...

my new song on my playlist is dedicated to a movie I want to see really, really bad. There is a sneak preview tomorrow ( I won't be seeing it tomorrow) so it must open soon everywhere after that...
Letters to Juliet
it might not even be good, sometimes the anticipation of a movie is not worth it once you actually see it, but I hope this one will be.

Softball, softball, and more softball...

As mom had mentioned in her post, Katie had 7 games last week! She pitched every one of em. They won 6, lost 1. They are hoping and wishing that they get to go to state. That will be decided on the 22nd at districts. Ahh, the anticipation.





I wouldn't want to mess with her!
And of course I wanted to start with this last picture, so start from the bottom and go up.




Prom

I at least want to get one picture of prom. Katies date, Brian, is on the left and his best friend is on the right. It was a pretty low-key evening. The group went to a mexican restaurant in Brewster and after the dance Katie and her date came back here and watched a movie then he went home. That's it. Everyone had fun and is safe and sound.

I am so behind... this will be part one

Well, I managed to totally screw up my first post in a month! It's almost 11:30pm so guess what, I'm not starting over! If you want to see the introduction head down a few pictures and there it will be...bundled up for softball
David can always make Sean smile!

ah, I uploaded the wrong picture, there was a better one with Sean smiling. Kurt and Shannon came by for a little visit Thursday AM.
Here is the intro:


and to start off you will get to see Sean, Sean and more Sean! I can't help it. They came for a quick visit while mom and dad were here. I was so worried he was going to be at the age where he only likes mom (and maybe dad) but he was happy to go to anyone! At least for now.cheering Katie on

a great view from Grandpa's shoulder's




Katie didn't want them to go, they had to make a quick stop at school to say "bye" before they headed home.




he's a smiley boy! We love him lots!
Wow this was pretty messed up but that's the way it is. More to follow...
