The “I’m so sorry I haven’t posted” Post

I'm so sorry I haven't posted! But I had to wait for 3 months before I could post again...it being tradition and all! 

Here is an (up-to-date) status:
I need to pack for a trip, my room desperately needs cleaning, I was up till 1:00 last night with Mom,cleaning up after Bethany's stomach decided it didn't like its dinner and I just got home from work. The thought popped into my head "I should do a post"....and so I begin... 

This past week was full of fun, busyness and lots of good food! It was fair-time once again.

Tuesday was the goat show. 

 Lincoln got a yellow and white ribbon with Cummins.

 Abigail's goat Cookie did amazing and got Reserve Heavyweight Champion! Twix her other market project placed 3rd and in showmanship she placed 2nd in her class.

Zephyr (my goat) placed 3rd in the lightweight division and behaved well enough for me to place as Reserve Senior Showman. It was a good note to end my "career" in 4-H on!

The day after the goat show the camera that I ordered online arrived!!!!

 I was so excited to try it out! So I brought it along with me to the fair.

Some pictures I took of random flowers

Enjoying the Chicken BBQ!

(Jason must have looked frail and starving, random people were giving him food! It was hilarious :)) 

Looking at exhibits with friends... 

A sample of Joanna's amazing art work!

Talking with Uncle Steve by the Bobcats!  

It's always fun to meet up with friends! (Zachary and Travis)

Crazy girls! Abigail and Joanna

This shy little guy :) Leland! 

Best Buds's: Jason, Leland and Lincoln 

Posing with my favorite gals!!! Abigail, Anna, Joanna, Bethany and I

Ending the night by watching a game of tug-a-war!

We spent the next night at the fair as well, watching Tough Trucks!

Sometimes, usually after losing their DRIVE SHAFT which goes from the engine to the back tires

(Kudos to Jason and Lincoln for explaining that!)

A pull-off tractor was needed

Isn't it totes adorbs?

Nice paint job!

 The next day was the BEST PART OF FAIR (just kidding!) it was clean-up time! "Unfortunately" no pictures we're taken during this event, so you will just have to envision tired, dirty and sweaty kids taking down pens and picking up garbage. 

~The End~

Just for future reference, please assume one of the following if I haven’t posted in more than 3 months:
1. Nothing interesting has happened...
2. I’ve been too busy having interesting things happen to me!
3. I forgot my camera when something interesting did happen :0
4. I am catching up on sleep :D
