Mom of the Year

Whitney, this post is for you. Because you are always posting your dinner menus and looking for new ideas! Some of you may or may not know this about me but every month I post a calendar(2) on my fridge. One has everything my kids are to eat for breakfast and lunch for the month. The other, has our supper menu. Then I try to go to the grocery and buy everything I need for the month....freezing meat and only going back to get milk and bread. Well, I haven't done that yet and it's 1/2 through the month. So coming up with what we're going to eat is a chore.

Here is where the award "Mom of the Year" comes in. Tonight this is what my kids had for supper:
*blueberry muffin, yogurt, cheese stick and a nutrigrain bar*

yummy,yummy,yummy

A girl has just gotta have fun!

Sidney Shea is growing up so fast! She is such a sweet baby and is so happy. Of course, being the little sister of a big brother has made her very tough. She loves shoes (flip flops), her baby, bicycles and making every step that Rhett makes!

thought everyone would like to see that she does have pink to wear and she likes to play with dolls, ok, she loves the 4-wheeler and the dolls were added for the photo :)

here she is all caged up. That's what we're going to do when she becomes a teenager.....really, this is how she entertained herself at a goat show! She pretended to be a goat and made goat sounds. When out of the cage, she wanted Rhett to lead her around.....funny girl!

Goin' Goat Showin'

This is Rhett and Casey....yeah, Casey (Casey the goat, not cat, not girl, not calf)
Rhett, ok really I, wanted to show goats this year and boy did we ever have fun!!!!

We wanted this to be Rhett's project and for him to learn how to care for his show goat. Here he is using the clippers and giving her, her first hair cut!

At our first show and getting ready by giving Casey a bath....Rhett really likes to give everyone around a bath!

This is soooo much fun! Rhett won his first goat trophy showing in showmanship. He was so serious in the show ring and I believe he was very nervous...

Here's Rhett in a market class

and my favorite class, COSTUME class....can you tell I've waited a long time to have a kid show? Yes, he won the costume class when Casey transformed into a turkey! (we thought that Jessamine Co. was the only fair that had the class but turned out so did Montgomery Co..he won it too!) If you see this, be thinking of what I can do for next year....all suggestions welcomed!

Then we went to Madison County. He was so much more relaxed and enjoyed showing.

the last show of the year, Montgomery County.

We can't wait 'til next year's show season!

Summer Travel

We went to Rob's state meeting and these are all the kids that participated in the kids program....and our fearless leaders for the meeting! My kids had a BLAST......can you believe how grown up they are?

Catching up

I know It's been a while since I've posted. So, forgive me for all the old pictures but I think they are worth showing. First up, we spent the 4th of July at RJ Corman's annual fireworks show. Here are some of my favorites from the night. (we had another child...Lyndsey stayed the week with us and so she got to join in on the 4th fun!)
