Platte County Fair

The fair was a great time for our family. Next year I am taking the week of vs. trying to run back and forth. Bryan started out the week with a Reserve Grand Champion in the Favorite Foods Revue. His table was on WWII with a meal from that era. Then he got a purple on his cookies, a purple on his photgraphy, blue on his model. He made a Higgins Boat (used during WWII), red on his cake-it was a giant dounut and he had frosting dripped down the side-the judge told him his frosting ability needed improvement. I told him she just didn't get the idea that the 8" cake was a decorated dounut! He got a purple on his calf, pen of 3 broilers, purple each on his two ewe lambs-one ended up reserve grand and his calf (a dairy calf) was reserve grand. He had fun!

Morgan is still a clover kid so she got participation ribbons and took: ducks, chickens, a banner and a poster on bike safety. She can't wait till next year!!

Enjoy the pics...this weekend we are headed to Verdigree to a cabin (Mike sheers for them) Rod, Karen, Karalyn & Caralina will be joining us.

Trip to Oregon





Mike & I were dropped off at the airport in the Twin Cities on Saturday, May 23. We hopped a plan to Portland, Oregon where we spent a week and a day having the time of our life seeing my Grandma & Aunt Amy & Uncle Jim. We headed to Cape Lookout State Park for a couple of days (thanks for the use of the camper Jim & Amy) and then back to Grandma's. On Sat. the 30th we headed to see Mike's cousin Julie and husband Bob along with his Aunt Betty, Aunt Jan & Uncle Bob. We had a great time catching up. I will write more about the trip later...but I need to get two young kids to come inside and head to bed...enjoy some of the pic's.

Ball season

Those were pictures of Bryan playing for Shelby 1. He loves playing baseball and has had a major improvement in his game this year. They have two more regular season games next week and then its district tournaments.

Tomorrow Mike & Morgan are headed to ID for the National Columbia Sheep show & sale. To say that Morgan is excited is an understatement!
