Stitches #2

Stitches #2 for our family of 2 boys happened the Thursday of the fair, but he was a trooper and it didn't slow him down much at all!!!

 In transition to the doctor for stitches, he wasn't looking forward to them at all!  He tried to get us to butterfly it and let it be.  He found the hitch of a 5th wheel camper and ended up with blood all over!!!!

 He is the wound!

This was the sympathy picture!  He really didn't like the needle or the poking.  when Dr. Wirtenean told him to count to 10 he did and he got to 20 and said, "R u done, I am past 10!"

I will say it was a good thing his dad was around and for the first time ever the sensitive one said, "Mom where is my dad?".  He also pushed moms hand away and reached for his dads!  It is a little sad to me that he no longer needed his mom!  (tear)

 

His father who is no fan of needles himself stepped in and watched the stitches and took over and mom stood back and let a few tears drop!!! 

So each boy has now had stitches- tucker 7 in his knee, and tayden 5 in his head!!!!

What should a mom expect with 2 boys???????

Hay time

 We helped grandpa put up square bales a week ago or so and the boys started off helping on the wagon... or just taking a free ride!

 They were definitely checking it out to see what was going to happen and what needed to be done!

They were the happiest runners, they went after pop, gatorade and keep the dogs out of the way, that was their favorite job!!!!  210 square bales in the barn and we think ours will be in a week or two!

hay time!!

I will post more pictures as soon as I can get my technology to work, but for now... Look at this goof ball!!!- no nice face for mom on this day of photos.

V.B.S. 2013

 We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the church this week with 31 Vacation Bible School children!  It was fun and we completed Science experiments, turtle races, t -shirts, snacks, crafts, bubbles and learned that God expects us to make good choices and be full of love and nice to each other!!!! 

2013 D.C. Fair

We started out the fair Wednesday night and we dressed up the bottle calves.  Tuckers calf was sugar because that is her name. 

Tayden's calf was Godwin because his name was that and we are duck dynasty fans!!!

Thursday morning was a little exciting for us, because we added 5 stiches to Tayden's forehead!  Then we still had time to show a couple lambs in the novice class and their calves that evening!

Tayden and Godwin year number 3 of the bottle calf show!!

Tucker and Sugar, year number 1 of the bottle calf show!!

Yes we entered our own turtles in the turtle races!

We finished the fair with the Demo Derby!!! # 38 was the dad at this house and he ended up 2nd!!  We worked on the car for a week and had a few hitches, but it is crashed now and headed to Keo this weekend with a different driver!!!!!
The Wild Thing camped at the fair and we stayed 4 nights!!!  We are going to call the fair successful even though we don't have any trophies and we added stitches to the excitement!! It is always fun to be at the fair, but always a little sad when it is over!!!!

The boys both had a bottle calf interview on June 17th and this is them before their interview, they are no longer cute little boys, they are handsome kids!!  They do look a little better than they do on a daily basis!!

Fishing

 We have been fishing a few times and also we have taken the boat on a few "boat rides"  the river isn't my favorite place to boat , but it is okay and I am getting better each time!!  We bought a 1977 Lund fishing boat!!!
