The Story of BUDDY the Steer

For Duston's 4H Record Book, we put together these scrapbook pages about this year's project. I helped with the photos and layout and he came up with the story. ENJOY!!!
Chapter One: There once was a fine young steer, who lived on the Stewart Ranch. On the day that I saw him, I knew he was the one, to make my first market beef project a lot of fun!
Chapter Two: At Christmastime, I was walking my steer and he got excited, so I said, "Whoa Buddy!" And I thought of the movie Elf. From then on my steer was known as Buddy. I think he even looks a bit like Will Ferrell.

Chapter Three: Each day I took care of Buddy. As time has gone, Buddy has learned the show moves. Both Buddy and I are nervous, but pretty much he is rad, so I think he will do fine.
Chapter Four: Learning to take care of Buddy has been AWESOME! I'm excited to show him off at the fair. (Pictures Shown) October, January, April. The End

Soccer

Jerett came home from school one day telling me all about a new Soccer Team he wanted to be on. He had a sheet with information about a spring soccer league that would be starting soon and he was REALLY excited. We signed him up- and figured it would be a great opportunity- especially since it was only a four week session.

Jerett can find the fun in anything- even when he should be somewhat serious. At his first game, he was spotted lying in the grass, on his back, watching the clouds go by. At other times we spied him picking his nose. He was just happy to be there, not too concerned with the ball or where it needed to go. Overall, we enjoyed watching him run around- and by the end of March, he was really figuring it all out.

Jesse had fun at the games too! He rolled down this small hill over and over again- Cracking himself up.

Jordan and Jada joined us for a game and some fun!

Inspiration...

Inspiration comes in many forms- for Jerett it came from this library book he chose at school. Everything inside looked so delicious. Often he would tell me, "Mom I'm going to make this," and show me a picture of some fancy dessert. So... when his turn for FHE treats came around, we made these YUMMY Kiss cookies. Boy were they a hit- and we had a super fun time making them too. Great idea bud!
