I'm Back!!

Mike and the kids went camping with his family, a trip best not discussed. I went to Dallas with my mom and some friends for an Eastern Star meeting. We had a blast!!! Just some nice alone time with my mom, we don't get much. There was lots of shopping and lots of laughs, we even made some of the meetings!!

One week of getting things ready and then next week starts up with volleyball practice. Once it starts, so does everything else, teacher inservice and school mainly.

I've been making the schedule for the concession stand, trying to decide when the kids can work. Wow, I must give credit where credit is due. Scheduling is not easy and those that must do it all of the time can't have any hair left.

I know everyone is about to start school. I hope you all have a great year!!

One for the road...

So, I guess we'll be doing a lot of traveling this week. Today was spent 4-H'n. The girls did EXTREMLY well!! Morgyn only got a partcipation ribbon, but she is not old enough for the rest yet, one more year. Reagen had 2 projects today, her Decorate Your Duds got a blue, state qualifier and Reserve Champion. Her baking (cheese biscuits) got a blue, state qualifier and Champion. In fashion revue she got Reserve and a red. For her first year, it was pretty awesome!!!!!
Courtney also had two projects. Her leather got a blue and state qualifier. Her Clothing got blue, state qualifier and Champion. In fashion revue she got Champion, blue and state qualifier. That means we are headed to Pueblo at the end of the month so she can model her dress she made.
All three girls were awesome and four out of four projects are headed to state fair. I'll post how they place there at the end of the month.

After everything tonight, the girls left with Mike's parents for a couple of days at their house and then camping Wednesday thru Monday at Cimmeron. I go to Denver to pick mom and dad up from the airport (they've been to North Carolina to visit Michelle) and then Dalhart on Wednesday and Dallas on Thursday, back to Dalhart Sunday and home Monday. Mike hopes to go camping with his family this weekend as well. Lots of miles.
