First Day Of School 2011!

Tuesday, Caleb and Elton started the new school year.  They are now at the same school.  Elton was very excited about starting school at his big brother's big school.  They both have wonderful teachers and Elton is fortunate to have a few of his friends from his Kindergarten class at his old school in his class.  Oliver went with us and insisted on taking his backpack along with his Potato head packed.  Of course he could not leave it in the car and had to wear it inside with his brothers.

Three days into things the boys are loving school.  I am happy to see how well things are going and have to say I am extremely proud of Caleb helping Elton learn the ropes at his new school.  Each day when school gets out, Caleb goes and gets Elton and accompanies him to where I pick them up.  It is a great site to see when I see the 2 of them coming across the school yard together talking about their day!

Fun Day At The Fair!

Monday was our fun day at the fair.  After the dog show Saturday morning and working in the 4-H food booth for 4 hours Saturday night wiping tables, this was the boys reward for their hard work.  They had to wait for rides until Monday because it was Pal Day and the ride passes were half price.  It was also a great way to finish off the summer as school started the next day.  Caleb was able to go on the bigger rides like the Round Up you see above.  Caleb is on it in a red shirt even if you can't spot him.

Elton At The County Fair 4-H Dog Show

Elton was very excited to be able to participate in the 4-H dog show at the fair as a Cloverbud.  At this point it is all practice for when he is old enough to be in the regular competition.  Him and Mimi did very well and he was very proud of his participation ribbons he received.  Way to go Elton and Mimi!

Caleb At The County Fair 4-H Dog Show

This past Saturday was the big day for the 4-H dog show at our county fair.  Caleb came in 3rd both in fitting and showing and obedience.  Teddy did alot better at listening at the fair than at the fun match, but still didn't focus when it was time for long sits and downs.  However, I was happy for Caleb that things went so much smoother than the last go around.  Way to go Caleb and Teddy!
