missing

well I feel that I have kind of abandoned my blog. not on purpose of course, but its pretty naked anymore. You see, I have been using my camera instead of the Ag camera for work because I like it better, and I so the other night I meant to bring my camera home and I don't remember if I did or not because now I cna't find it.

I do hope I find it soon, otherwise, I might have to get a new one, and my mom only got me that wonderful little canon powershot 2 christmases ago.

no fun.

mass update

so life has been incredibly busy during the start of the school year. This weekend is fair which is super busy around the McSpadden household. I have been working 14 and 15 hour days since Wednesday and its not about to stop until tomorrow. I should be cleaning the bathroom upstairs right now, but its been so long since I have wrote here, I almost forgot how!

We have been very busy with animals, the silent auction , rodeo queen contests and last night the junior rodeo, tonight the pro rodeo. I am very proud of my students this year, FFA is reeling in the awards - so far, my students have won the following:

• Reserve Grand Champion Lamb - Showmanship
• Reserve Grand Champion Steer - Showmanship
• Grand Champion Steer - Showmanship


• 1st place Market Steer
• 3rd place market steer
• 2nd place market steer
• 2nd place market lamb
• Reserve Grand Champion Hog
• 2nd place market hog
  

Thats just the animals, we also had kids win in the rodeo, and 2 of my students were in the rodeo queen contest, one winning the title, the other serving as first attendant. Needless to say, I have been pretty busy.

My babysitter, Rosemary, or as Case calls her, "NiNi" has really stepped it up this year and has been watching Case nearly through the entire fair. Last night she even took him on the itty bitty kid rides and won him some cool stuffed animals!

We watched the parade and took some pictures, overall, having a very fun time! As you see here my FFA kids with their entry, entitled " Everyone is a WINNER in Duncan FFA!" (the fair theme this year was, "everyone is a winner!")

Case enjoyed some applejacks in the back of the truck during the parade and he even got to pet a miniature horse too!

I'm starting a business

just wanted to let you all know that I am starting a little business for some spending money on the side. I am calling it HowdyK728 (name of my first dog, K (for Katee) and 728 (my birthday)) and I will specialize handmade cards, jewelry and metal art. I even am going to have an online store, on etsy.com but its not all set up yet. just FYI....

sometimes

sometimes when you either forget to do things or do things a little late, it makes others very mad.

dirty diapers

this morning Case took his daiper off and threw it outside of his crib. When I asked him why he took it off, he said "dirty" and pointed to it. Well, duh? why would I ask such a silly question.

looks like its time to get a little boy potty.

first big boy hair cut

he looks too grown up!

I learned a new word this morning

I learned a new word this morning, and another one yesterday. They are from the language of toddler. "Wa-Wa" is watermelon and "craka" is cracker. I am amazed at how fast this little boy of mine is growing!
