Kiddos!

Hope everyone had a great week! Ours was fast and furious as usual! All the normal stuff going on here! We had a livestock meeting last week and found out that Odessa does not offer a dorper class. So, despite already paying in our validation fees it looks like Shiny is knocked out of that show this year! We'll be showing at the Terrell County Fair and getting another year to practice before going to the bigger shows. Hopefully, we'll be coming to San Antonio next year!
Shyanne has a huge science test that we have been studying for all week! She's doing great but mitosis and meiosis is still confusing her a bit. She did really good on it this morning before she left. Please keep your fingers crossed for her! From what I understand, Shyanne is going to UIL in oral reading and the spelling team. They have been working really hard after school on these.

Wyatt is doing great! Poor guy, he's been able to get his homework done in the car all week while we are waiting on Shyanne. He's got a science vocabulary test on Monday. I think he'll ace it. Gracie Lu is doing really good ( his goat). He hasn't had much time to work with his horse, maybe this weekend! His schoolwork is getting harder, I warned him that it was coming. He just didn't believe me.

Dakota is nuttier than ever. He was so proud the other night, he peeled his first potato all by himself. I was fixing mashed potatoes to go with the fried goat meat and he wanted to help. He's my big helper. He is really good at helping sort clothes, and vaccuuming. He is hilarious to watch. Did you know that you can get divities from eating too much candy. We had a discussion because I was silly enough to think that they are called cavities. Oh well, as long as I can learn something new!

Woo! Hoo! My Christmas present is being delivered Monday. I'm excited about having a digital camera again! I let Preston know yesterday that his shopping for me was already done. Hee! Hee!The Turkey Shoot is Sunday. Preston and Wyatt will be competing. I wish I had the camera for that. I've got a couple dozen cookies to bake for that today. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at school with the kids yesterday. That turned out really nice. We have a nice surprise this weekend. Jody and Larry are supposed to drop by and visit. They are at a friend's out here for a few days. We are really excited to visit! I'll try to post Moday and let you know how the Turkey Shoot goes but if I don't get to it. Have a blessed Thankgiving Day! I love all you guys!
