we're still here!

The last week has been a big blur....
County Fair was last week. My brother placed 4th and 5th in his class with his goats. Might I add that the one that I walked (AKA dragged) around the yard did the best of the two. He placed 5th place in Showmanship. Congratulations Spank! (You can do better at State!)
Thursday and Friday I was at home sick with the stomach bug. I do not recall the last time that I was that sick. I won't go in to any details, but let's just say I would not wish that upon my WORST enemy! Thank goodness Brandon did not get it. Greenbrier lost Friday night, but I don't have many details since I was at home on the couch re-cooperating.
Saturday I was supposed to run a cross-country race in Conway, but since I had been sooooo sick I did not run. I went to Reid's soccer game and came home to rest. We have now entered the modern world. Our satellite TV was hooked up Saturday afternoon. I can tell you right now that there is still nothing on TV even if you get 200 channels! BUT Brandon does get to watch Razorback football at home now. (Thanks Mark for sharing your TV with Brandon in the last few seasons!) I am really enjoying Lifetime Movies and Discovery Health. AND DVR is the best thing since sliced bread. :) Brandon worked on the electricity in the shop. Hopefully he will have lights soon. It seems like it gets dark really early already.
Sunday after church we worked on the backyard. The ditches are covered up now, but since it has rained a little this week our backyard is a mud pit!
Monday night we played our last softball game. You can write us down for another LOSS! We should have won, but I guess you can't win them all!
Overall we are doing good! Hope to hear from you all soon!
