Texas Visit

 FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

 
There was lots of activity in Texas last weekend with the granddads.  I will have to post this in segments.  We started our Friday night off with a ripping good football game.  I am not a huge football fan, but this high school game was really good.  Of course, the best part was my grandson who plays the Marimba for the school marching band.

 

The home team is in Blue and White. 
Sulphur Springs Wildcats

 Gracie

 Saturday morning started early with a Junior High football game of Sulphur Springs Jr. High boys playing against each other.  Gracie was there to cheer.

And, cheer she did!

Go Team Go!  Cheer it up Gracie!!

As soon as the football game and cheering ended
we were off to Pizza Inn, and then on to a soccer game.
 Gillan left for a band competition about the same time.
Could I say - "busy"?  I am amazed at how the family
keeps up the pace of their schedules.

They are blessed with good parents.
The parents are blessed with good children.
We love all of you.

Gracie is a go getter and loves to participate in
any sports activity.
Her soccer team won the game!!!  Go Gracie!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both of our grandkids in Texas live a very active life.
It was great to be part of it and see the activities they 
participate in.

Sunday morning we attended their church, where we were
able to see Gillan lead the youth band, and Rudy teach
Junior High 7th grade Sunday School Class.  Gracie
is in that class.

I like this!!

Dairy Heifer Show

A New Family Adventure

Arkansas/Oklahoma State Fair

I think Andrew likes the Jersey heifers the boys

gentled down to show.  Josh and Andrew, along with

their Mom, Dad, and Grandpa spent many hours 

preparing for this day.

The picture above is like a sweet blast from the past.

Katie working with her daddy at a heifer show.

No comment needed here.

 Nathan is entertained no matter where he is.

He is playing with a new birthday gift....Star Wars - 

with a heifer right beside him in the dairy barn at the fair.

  He is a happy boy!

 The boys are doing what they came to do, and 

doing it well for first timers.

 Check that Red Ribbon out in Josh's back pocket.

 All of us were tired by this time.

It was hot and dusty.

 This was another class they showed in.  The judge liked

the boys three heifers on the end, but no way could they compete

with the much older, larger heifers.

 This is a crew.....I love all of these guys.

They won a red ribbon and a few blue, but the 

important thing is the experience gained.

Showing cattle is a family affair...

Quality family time.

Okay, okay.....I stole this picture from Katie's facebook.
I just love the look she captured here. 
Looks like some very contented young heifers.
