First Games of the Season

Kelly and Alicia both played their first games of softball on Thursday night. Kelly was on field one and Alicia on field two. with me coaching Kelly's team I didn't get to see any of Alicia's game and of course she was fine with that. When I asked if they won she said "No but I sure had fun." Then she was off to get her first hot dog of the ball season. Kelly had a great game a couple of hits, tagged a girl out who was stealing second and all that. The team had a great game their first win of the season. Of course we have no pictures Callie forgot to take the camera to Alicia's and I forgot the other one to take to Kelly's maybe next time.

Alicia's First Grade Trip

The first grade class went to MIZZOU they toured the Entomology and Reptile Musemuns. Alicia loved the snakes and the Hissing Cockroaches. She especially loved it when it was feeding time, it was not tramatic at all for Alicia, she found it quite facinating. Luckily her teacher Miss Huffman had her class very well prepared for what they might see. Alicia has had a wonderful and sucessful school year thanks to being in Miss Huffmans class. Alicia is hoping that Miss Huffman can go to second grade with her and so am I.

Trip after the Trip

These girls hang together all the time. Kelly, Abbie, Kate (Katelyn) and Sydnee spend a lot of time at our house. Almost every weekend Kelly has a sleepover which sometimes starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. These girls are great friends and have so much fun when they are together plus they clean everything up before they go home. Its pretty easy for John and I to say yes any time they ask to get together. This is just a group of low maintance girls, polite, happy, go to bed early or make little noise, they are just a great group. Anyway, back to the trip after the trip part, after the class trip Rita (Katelyn's mom) and I took them on a nature walk and then shopping. Here are a few of the pictures I took of the girls, actually I have 140+ pictures from the day. These are from the nature walk, Rita and I were to busy at the mall carrying shopping bags that we didn't have time to take pictures.

Kelly's Class Trip

The 5th grade class went to Jefferson City to the Highway Patrol Musmeum and the Runge Conservation Center it was a blast.

The Four Friends; Sydnee, Abbie, Kelly and Katelyn



This is how they really act...all the time.

Wuzzy

Kelly and her favorite lamb Wuzzy and he has a twin sister named Fuzzy. You know Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, or in this case a pair of little Southdown lambs



Wuzzy is a shy little lamb that Kelly pays special attention, she brushes the dirt off of him and talks to him



Alicia say "Wuzzy is palm fed, You know she feeds him out of the palm of her hand." Wuzzy gets extra attention every day. She is hoping that he will grow and that she can show him at the fairs this summer. I'm afraid that he may be on the trailer with all the other lambs even if he doesn't grow out. You show them because they are cute, right?

Kelly, Alicia and the bottle lambs

The girls took the bottle lambs outside to play. Kelly likes to start her lambs early getting ready for a show. The oldest lamb is the smallest of the three bottle lamb his name is Hoss. Callie had to tube him several time to keep him alive I have never seen a lamb born that was as tiny as this lamb he could walk underneath the little white lamb who was born four days later and was of average size.











Alicia loves her lambs...
