County Club Day and weekend fun



The kids' 4-H club had county club day today. Their line dancing group got top purple! They really did look good, and the hours and hours of practice definitely showed! Regionals will be coming up - so I guess we will be having a few more weeks of practice!


Cam was on a gavel games team. Their team also got top purple, so they will be going to regional club day as well! They really did a great job - especially when you consider that half of their practices got cancelled due to snow!
Club day was held in Pomona this year. We took a shortcut through the country - Aunt Amy told us that the bridge on the shortcut creeps her out, and she called it the 'dead body bridge' since she is sure that someone has stashed bodies there! Boys being boys, we had to stop and check on the way home! Preston was not too amused with this little pit stop! We are happy to report that we could not see any dead bodies today! Thank God too, because I am not sure that would have been the best ending to a really great morning!
Of course, sometimes when you parent children you realize, a little too late that you should not mention things like dead body bridges to your kids! Quincy immediately came home and told Jim (who had missed club day due to coaching the basketball team) that we had stopped to check for bodies on the way home, and that she thinks we should buy a farm next to this body bridge. She did not stop talking about it all afternoon long! Bad parenting - I know!
Colin and Cameron built their own snowboards - out of old skateboards that they ripped the wheels off and made foot holders out of someones old belt. I am not sure that they would pass any FEMA safety standards, but they did have to go try them out! They came home very wet, which to me says they fell down a lot, but they were very happy with themselves!
We love our daddy!

Colin was babysitting for Quincy this evening!
This is Cam before the KSU game. We will not be sharing any photos of after the game - it is just too sad to share!

Madison is not cooperating on letting me take her photo. Now every day she takes hundreds of self portraits, but if someone aims a camera at her, she acts all offended! I can't figure out the teenage brain!
Harper wants to do her OWN hair! You can tell by looking at her that she is not feeling well. She had a cold that will just not go away! It is miserable!
Quincy after finding out that she is NOT invited on the girls' birthday shopping excursion tomorrow!
