What a weekend

Well this weekend I had the pig weigh in for the LCF. We weighed in a little over 300 hogs. Saturday after I got done helping with the pig weigh in, a friend of ours was having a get together for his 30th birthday... We didn't have a sitter, but unexpectedly my sis CJ came in town and she was willing to watch lil miss while we went out to celebrate with our friend.

The birthday boy!! Another one joins the dirty 30 crowd!



Sunday was a beautiful spring day & after helping with the pig weigh in for one hour and introducing lil miss to the sound & smell of piggy's & everyone who helps with the committee. We enjoyed a family walk & playing outside!

4-H Hall of Fame

My family has been involved with 4-H for more years than i could even begin to try and count. My grandparents involved their children and my mom and dad have involved their children. On August 15th, my mom and dad were inducted into the MO 4-H Hall of Fame at the State Fair. This is one of the top honors that you can be awarded for volunteering and support the 4-H foundation. Each county has the opportunity to nominate someone or a family to be inducted. This year, our county chose my parents for their continuous support and leadership of the 4-H program. Way to go mom & dad!! Since we were traveling to the State Fair and Mr. C's sister & step dad live close to where the state fair is held, we made a weekend of it. We arrived late on Firday night and visited for a little while. Saturday morning we drove around looking at places Mr. C vaguly remembered from his childhood and then spent the rest of the day and evening at the State Fair with them. Sunday we visited with them until my family got to the state fair and then we met up with them and attended the ceremony. Glad we got to visit and spend time with family.
