Fair, again! =)

Grace, Emma and I are chillin' with our feet in the water tank =) That was fun! We were really hot, so we decided to stick our feet in the cow's water tank!!! =P We just stood up in it but then we got the idea to sit on the buckets!! That was a very fun day. I am soooo glad I got to have Grace come to the fair. She was a big help to us! And I know she would be more than happy to do it again! =) This was Tuesday. That was probably the busiest day of the week, but also the most fun!! Not only was it the CRAZY day of showing pigs but dollar rides day. So it was $1.00 for each ride. That was fun.........but we got sorta sick. =( That wasn't fun!!!! =) HEHEHEHE
I still have bunches of pictures to post........=)
but until then, BYE!!!! =)

Fair =)

Hello ya'll :) Yesterday was our official starting of the fair..........ohhhhhh(sigh)
Sooooooo much tiring work.......ahhhhh!!! I'm not sure how to react. The fair doesn't even really start until tomorrrow. But for us??? Friday.... Last night. (Friday!!!)
We took our pigs in.....and WHY we have to take them in two whole exhausting days before the fair even starts is BEYOND me=) So that makes NINE whole exhausting days instead of seven. (practically 8, because we would have to take them in one day early anyway.... but ohhhh well:) ANYWHO!!!!! Today we took our calves and turkeys in........ohhhhhh busy, busy!!! But one GREAT / AMAZING / WONDERFUL thing that happed was I got to see my Grandma and Grandpa for the first time in FOREVER!!!! (not really... but that's sure what it seems like:)
Well... better get to bed now, (actually i prolly should have been in bed a long time ago..................oh well!hehehe!!!! ;) got another exhausting (yet fun! =) day ahead of me!!!! =) See ya'll later (hopefully soon because I'm super busy, as you can prolly see! ;) Okay here i go... i'm say'in it... GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!!! =)

honk-shoo, honk-shoo .......... ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ...........................=)

4th of July

I had so much fun on the 4th! We went to watch fireworks on the 3rd at Winona Lake. We sat on the hill at the fairgrounds. They were pretty good. But it seemed something went wrong and they weren't very long. One of the fireworks shot sideways instead of straight up. I hope no one got hurt.
On Sunday went to the Hertsel's house for lunch and a swimming party! It was soooo much fun! The pool was super cold!!!! And we played this really fun football-like game!!! After we swam for a while we came home to do chores, but we all actually ended up taking naps!! lol =) After we all got around and did chores we went back to Nappanee ( where the Hertsal's live) and walked to the parade. We got a bunch of Tootsie rolls and went back to their house and waited for like an hour or so. Then we left and went to McDonald's for a bite to eat and went to a church to watch fireworks! The were pretty good too. So we got to have double the fun!!!!!!
So yes, I had an AWESOME weekend!!! Blahahahahahahaha!!! Sorry, I just thought I'd do that!!!!

Well I hope ya'll have an awesome week! I'm excited for next week also. I'm going to see Gram and Poppy for the first time in what seems like forever!!!
Hope you are all enjoying my blog!!! I know I'm enjoying making it!!! See ya'll later!!!

Stella Mae, My Pig

Last years ' Champion Berkshire Gilt ' and me! I am also hoping to have the champ. Berk this year too. ( And actually if I did it would be with this pigs daughter!) Last year we did really well. Hopefully we do this year too! =) I like showing off my pigs and cows!!! =D

Learning new things=

I've had a GREAT day today!! I got to mow the yard!!!!!! I know, I know, I'm weird!! =)
But it's MUCH better than dishes or scoopin' poop!!!!! And I felt so independent because usually only Austin or Dad do it but now I can!!! The only problem is that I have to lean back on the seat for the mower to stay running. It was hard to push the pedals AND lean back at the same time!! (And if you know me I not necessarily the tallest person ever!!! =) So, I learned how to mow on a riding mower. But that's not it..........

I also learned how to clip a pig!!!!

That's something we do for show. We take clippers ( sorta like hair clippers for poeple, only made for pig hair!) and just shave the pig!!! Annabelle, my pig looks really wierd because she moved so much while my dad was trying to clip her face!!! He clipped her face hair shorter than the rest of her body and she kept moving so it went out to her shoulders!!! So her face and shoulder hair is really short and the rest of her body's hair is longer!!!! It's really hard to clip a squirmy pig's hair!!!

And now I'm just sittin' here typing this. I'm feeling sorta sad right now=( I'll maybe tell you why another day.

Anywho, sooo ready to sleep! Good night ya'll!! see ya tomorrow!
