1st pre show for the year

Last Saturday we took Bob to his first show of the year in Paris, AR. We had a lot of fun. Bob was so excited all week for this show and this is what we were getting ready for all week. We had to clip their hair and give them all new hair cuts, which I tell Jon I have retired that is his job now he should of never learned how to do it because he is much better than I ever was, but I still love helping Bob blow drying them and working with their hair and training it to go the right way.

One of his best friends Wyatt was going and showing steers. There was about 3 families for Northwest Arkansas that went. This was Bob's best friend and his little brother, they are brothers one is same age as Bob and the youngest is about 9. This was Showmanship and their pour mother had to listen to the older one all the way home because the youngest beat Bob and his friend in showmanship. Which we thought was great maybe next time they will have their mind on their business when they go in. (Showmanship is who shows the best has the best technique, knows the questions the judge asks. The judge asked what are you going to do when you get home. He said a lot of kids said they were going to go home and work their animals Bob said he was going home to set and watch tv and go to bed since we got up at 4:30 that morning and were on the road by 6:00.) At least he was honest.

This is Miss Mabel, she is a mess and so spoilt. He placed 2nd with her and Grand came from his class. We were pleased.

This is Angie she is Bob's Registered Angus he placed 2nd with her. Bob has several shows in the next few weeks plus we have to work cattle so I will show you the King of the Ring Show soon hopefully.

A Captain Story

Here is one of our Captain stories for you he is our entertainment and keeps us laughing everyday. This is the most recent story.

It was about 9:45 last night and I could not get Captain to go to sleep so I decided I would just go to bed and put him in our bed and hopefully he would be asleep by 10:30 or when Jon went to bed and he could take him to his own bed. I laid him on our bed while I went to brush my teeth and I heard him say he was shampooing his hair but dumb me did not pay a whole lot of attention. When I got in there he had the lotion (which is my fault I did not put it back in the bathroom when I got done putting lotion on his leg earlier I just put it on the night stand) all over his head all over the sheets it was bad and his hair was covered with lotion. He was so proud of himself and he had that little smile he has that does get him out of lots of trouble. Jon nor I could not hardly keep a straight face it was so funny. Just so you know lotion is hard to get out and his hair was so greasy. I wish I had took some pictures but at the moment I just wanted the mess cleaned up.
