Football 2016

 Tucker played flag football (for the last year) yes he gets to be a big boy and play full out pads next year!! Yikes but fun to watch!

Tayden played full out pads and it is fun to watch!! He is successful with receiver not so much running back at this point, but he did score some touchdowns and yes it is fun to watch!

Homecoming Dress Up days

 The elementary and middle school kiddos all dressed up for Homecoming week, yes we participated but I only got a few photos... This is western day, and yep sad to say,,,, we have a future bull rider pretty sure, and yes Tayden looks no different than the average day at our house!!!  We are truly raising farm boys I am afraid!!!  (or PROUD) hmmm

This is mis match day and Tucker secretly.....loves his mohawk and was super pumped to wear it that day!!!

First Day of School

The fast growing boys are well into the year of 4th and 6th grade!!  Yes it is the last year of elementary for Tucker and the last year of life without all the extra curricular activities for Tayden!  Good Luck boys and hopeful for good grades and well behaved boys!!! sigh----always a wish for mom

Final fair post

 We had some new attire and brand for the fair so day 1 we were matching..

 Wow they do all look alike!!

Someday tayden will be able to do it all!!

DC fair contd

 Tayden took a few projects to the 4-H building...this was his favorite a chicken water.

 We spent time and effort to decorate the camper for the theme ..Blue jeans and country dreams..

 Shiquira and taydens steer were both shown on friday...he made it through the day and also showed 2 cow/calf projects...shiquira had a small attitude but we made it through.

D.C. Fair...tucker

 Tucker had his final bottle calf project this year...her name is Jill and therefore the dress up parade they were Jack and Jill .

 He did a great job of showing and gets to enter the world of 4-H next year.

He did a fine job showing the lamb in the open show also!

D.C. Fair 2016

 Tayden was able to show his own projects this year and successfully got everthing to the fair!!6 sheep to be shown

 Clara helped him show a couple times!

 He won Junior showmanship!!!

These were helpful and friendly faces in the barns this year!

Baseball

 Tayden made b all stars so he played ball a few weekends and still loves center field!!

 It was hot however we made it through the weekend.

 Tucker made 9 Year old all stars as well and played in a fun tournamnet..

Little break between ballgames...we found arcade at wal.mart

Summer

 We have spent a lot of time outside,with animals, and doing whatever we wish this summer!!

 We went to an open show in early July....Shiquira  (tayden show heifer ) preformed well and got reserve female!!

 Tayden Loves his new to him 4 wheeler!!

Puppies

As anybody knows who keeps up with our changing hobbies, last summer Tayden purchased some beagles to rabbit hunt, well we just so have 2 females that we bred in February to have puppies and we have been blessed with 12!!  Tayden sold all but the 3 he is keeping.....All is well and I am not prejudice, but they are pretty darn cute!

Summer

 yes this is a nephew!! We went fishing on Sunday and had a blast, ended up grilling and chilling in the great outdoors with a charcoal grill on a sandy creek bank.  It was fun all kids were involved and they enjoyed themselves, also caught several creek critters.

 Tucker caught a fish and Tayden did too, but no photo that I can find...

Look at that big bull frog....

Track

 The elementary relays were successful and this fun to attend.  I believe the boys get their running ability from their father...he was the track star

 Tayden ran very well and we hope this is his strength. ..he is athletic enough to try anything. However this seems natural!!:)

He was fun to watch in the 200 and 400 meter race!

Tucker turkey

Tucker got a turkey a couple weeks ago with Grandpa!  This is the gun he got for his birthday and let me tell you he enjoyed rubbing it into Tayden that he got a turkey first.  Grandpa and him decided that he was a NBK (natural born killer).  He doesn't need any help with confidence!  Turkey hunting is over for this year onto ball and coyote hunting banquet next weekend and fair projects in near future!  Life is busy and we enjoy most of it, and I will try to keep updates coming.

Garth Brooks

 Brandon got Garth Brooks tickets for his birthday and it was Friday night!!!

 We went and enjoyed the evening we rode with his mom, sister, and Cory and enjoyed the entire evening got home late and had a great weekend!

 The journey had begun!

Even though we had high seats, we stood, sang, and enjoyed the music that we knew, not sure but we knew every song and BLB could sing every word!!! This was a big check off his bucket list!

Spring Fun

 Tayden killed a turkey today with Grandpa!  They love grandpa taking them and this is right up Tayden enjoyment!

 We didn't have much luck mushrooms hunting, however we did enjoy each other, the weather and the adventures!  Tayden found a bridge.

 This little fuzzy calf got a bath, he will hopefully make it to the fair with his momma as a cow/calf project.

 Tucker found a warm, not windy spot to relax a couple of weeks ago.

 This is Tucker he gets to pitch, play first base, and catch, and wherever else we need someone.

The happy outdoor boys LOVES to shoot frogs, catch random tadpoles, play outside, build a fort, and do whatever HE wants while outside!  He truly loves adventures on his own and finding new things.  Yes he had these 4 frog legs for supper...

Baseball in full SWING!

 Baseball season is in full swing (no pun attended)  we are on different teams again, Tayden is on the Cardinals and Tucker is on the Scrappers!  We enjoy watching and having lots of time at the ball field.

 The boys were relaxing and watching other teams the day of opening day ceremonies.

Here are the tough kids!!

Tucker Ross Happy 9

 Tucker Ross Bish is 9 years old today!  We had time this morning for opening the 20 gauge shot gun!  We also had bacon, eggs, and toast with a candle for the beginning of his 9th Birthday!  He is fun, energetic, helpful, caring, and most of all a bundle of excitement most of the time!  We wouldn't change him for the world and love him to pieces, although we have to remind him to calm down and relax!

 His choice of breakfast and hopefully he got to eat it before the bus pulled in!

He recieved a shotgun, so look out turkeys and he is so excited to sit on a coyote crossing!!! Born to hunt and he is enjoys it more and more all the time.  He also loves his Kindle, playing sports, and well doing whatever we want him to!!! Happy 9th Birthday Tucker!  He is also trying out for baseball tonight and walking to the rec center after school!  What he loves to do!
