I won at the Farm Show with two items.

 

My cookies won first place and my painting won second place.  We went to the Farm Show last night and I saw my ribbons.

 

My brother got thrid place with one of his pictures that he took.  His other picture won first place and best of show in the youth category.  We bought brownies and fudge at the Farm Show.

 

Mom entered pictures too, but she didn't win.  Tomorrow night we can pick up our prizes and our ribbons.  I know my mom will take pictures.

Oct. 3, 2006 - Today is busy

We did not go to the Potato Festival because it rained. This week is the Farm Show. I took cookies that I baked and a picture that I painted in art class. My brother likes to take pictures, so he took some of them to the Farm Show. We are going to the Farm show tonight so see if I won.

 

I have tennis class today, too.  It is sunny outside, so it will be a good day to play!  Last week it rained on lesson day.

 

Tonight is choir practice, too.  I think that am going to be busy today!

Today we are going to a Potato Festival.  I like to look at crafts and I like to buy some too! 

My braces do hurt a little, but mom put wax over the parts that were hurting my mouth.  I'll tell you about the festival when we get back!

Sep. 27, 2006 - Birds and Braces

We are studying birds in Science.  This week my mom made experiments where we had to eat like birds.  Different birds have different beaks so they can eat different things.  My brother and I ate like kingfishers, swallows-(Mom threw marshmallows at us, they were supposed to be bugs in the air), sparrows, owls, sandpipers and hummingbirds.  It was fun. 

Here is a picture of me being a sparrow, opening a nut with pliers, (Like a sparrow would crack a seed with it's beak.)


I am getting my braces tomorrow!!!!!

Sep. 22, 2006 - Today is Horse Day!

Friday is horseback riding day!  I ride Skippy.  My mom is going to take pictures today when I go to horseback riding.  So you will get to see Skip and I having fun.  I am getting ready for a Horse Show in November.  I am also getting ready to do dressage in Special Olympics next fall.  Horses are cool!







Skippy is an American Quarter Horse.  I ride at Look of Eagles Stable.  I like taking care of Skippy.  He is such a handsome horse!
