Small Town Christmas Parade

It's A Hometown Christmas Parade!

Saturday night was our hometown Christmas parade and since the girls are in 4H, they got to work on a float and ride in the parade. This is Junior, and 2 of her good friends riding on the rocking bench.

We did a Pioneer Christmas theme. (Our town's high school mascot is a pioneer as well) The float won the Theme award and the Chamber award. Can you guess how many napkins were used to make that white fluff? Me either! LOL I helped with it, but my-oh-my was that a lot of napkins!!!

Roo and friend....aren't they cute?

In the moments before the parade, when the grown ups were completing the construction of the float, the kids made cards and crocheted hangers for the Siloam Springs Nursing Home, which we were supposed to go and deliver on Tuesday, but due to the weather, that is being rescheduled.

The kids all had a blast and slept very well that night! LOL So did mom and dad! ;-)

Guess What Time It Is???

Gentry Goat Show

August 30, 2008

Proud Pappa with his goat ropin' girls!

Rendi's all about business going into the ring...game face on!

Set 'em up!

Good form, girls! Good f0rm! And first place goes to.......RENDI DALRYMPLE!!!! YAY!!!

Next up: Good ole' Junior!

She had to dig her heels in seeing as how her goat weighs 70lbs and she weighs less than 40!!!

Flipper did good for the most part, but started "flippin' out" towards the end! Good thing Mrs. Cindy was right there to help! :0) 4th place!!! Way to go Jaslyn!!!! (We'll work on firming up his backside this next week before the fair!!!) :0)
The girls had a GREAT time at their very first show!!! Rendi is in love with the sport of goat showing (although she has already mentioned wanting to show steers-we hope to hold off a couple years for that).

We hope any and all of you who can make it will join us at the county fair Sept. 8-13 in Bentonville. Email me for show times! :0)
