Well we do hope that everyone is doing well. We are great! To get everyone caught up on our life since last time I was on here, spring time came and went as well as summertime. Austin took his hog "Bacon" to fair and placed 3rd with him, way to go Austin! What an adventure that was, lots of emotions during that weekend of the fair but well worth it. Austin sold his hog for $4.00 a lb and Bacon weighed in at a whopping 264. Austin earned just over 
$1,000.........yes $1,000 bucks, wow! He had to minus some expenses and after all that he walked away with $650. We let him take $150 to spend on a bike that he wanted. Now he has $500 for the next hog project for 2010. He did great and we are proud of him. He can't wait till his next hog. Cheyenne will follow in his footsteps this next year also. She plans on getting a hog for her market project next year. So I can't wait, we will have 2 - 260 lb hogs, yeah!! Austin also finished bowling in April and did awesome. Cheyenne has also been projecting............she now has a goat herd named "CR BUDDIES". She got 1 registered Nigerian Dwarf bred her and had 2 adorable baby goats in April. She named them CR Buddies "Dolly Parton" and CR Buddies "Patsy Cline", cute huh! 
She can sell these goats for anywhere between $100 to $200 a goat. I had no idea that goats could cost that much but they do. She will show them both in October at the Nigerian Dwarf National and see how they will place. If they place well then she will sell them for "big money", as she says:) Besides taking care of her goats, she is still riding the heck out of her horses. She has improved so so much that I can't believe she is my daughter. 
She started the year in barrels running 33 second a patterns and now she is running 20 second patterns, that is huge for her. She is learning how to rope now and this is all her motivation, I just encourage and give high fives :) Austin and Cheyenne have both done great in school and working hard at home.

We really just hang at home or chase Austin and Cheyenne around with all their activities. Jason is not racing yet. We are just waiting on the timing to be right. Hopefully soon!
The kids and I went back east for a family reunion on my dads side. What a good time that was..... We met lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. We also saw my grandma that I haven't seen in 30 years, cool really cool. Austin and Cheyenne loved it! Maryland and Delaware were beautiful and filled so much greenery. We went over the 
Chesapeake Bay on the Bay Bridge and that was AWESOME! We toured a couple of the towns that my dad grow up in and saw the house that my grandma lived in as a child. We went the the Alantic and hung out with hurricane Bill a little. The waves were at least 10 to 15 feet high, totally amazing! We saw a little of Washington DC but not much. We ran out of time to actually go see all the sights, maybe next time. The trip we a blessing and hope to go back again s

The picture of the train garden is my Uncle Georges. The kids played with it for hours. Austin and Cheyenne are standing next to a corn field, we were amazed by high tall the corn was. The other picture is my grandma and only some of her kids (my aunts and uncles). Left to right: David, George, My dad (Sonny), Frank, Alan, Donna, Grandma Pearl, and Wanda. My aunts Sharon, CarolAnn, and Uncle Johnny are missing. Good times!
