Region competition

Well, it is now the start of school. Both kids have started school, Kelsey is a senior this year and Rob started ninth grade. WOW! They have grown to be such awesome kids!

We have now had our District and Region competitions & at District my teams did okay but at Region, our times were super slow. Belvedere decided to kick up his heals on Friday afternoon and nailed me in the ribs so now I think I have a dislocated rib and I'm black on the whole right side. It really hurts to move a whole lot and I slept on the couch for comfort last night. I'm thinking we are not in anything at State in a couple of weeks because of how poorly we did. I really wonder about the judge though. We have never done so badly in Parade or Drill. I think the "Steward" helping the judge influenced her too much and I'm not real impressed with this judge anyway. Oh well, at least I can go and enjoy the show without worrying about taking horses! That will save a pile of money!

Kelsey is dating a nice young man that is riding with the Posse this year. I think they make a cute couple but don't tell her I said that because she may jump out of it. I was able to meet his father this weekend and he is a really nice man too. We'll see what happens. Kelsey needs to get her high school out of the way before anything happens though.

Better go home for now. Have a great night!

Happy times & more!

Ok - I know very few people read this but it's almost like a journal thing for me. We went out to meet Kam's new granddaughter. All she would do was sleep but Addie was a hoot! She is Kam, Jr.'s 2-year old. I was her "friend" while Kam tried to get her to understand that he was grandpa. It was funny!!!

Rob has come home and even though he will not admit it, he missed us! He did say that next year he only wants to go for four weeks. He missed all three of the 4H shows. I don't think he missed the competition but I'm pretty sure he missed seeing "Megan" at the shows. She's a really cute girl that he seems to like. Rob starts Timpview High School next week. I can't believe my baby is starting High School!!

Kelsey is super busy now...High School Rodeo, Santequin Orchard Days Queen, FFA, and two jobs (Wendys & very part-time @ Design Pubishing). She just started dating a super nice kid that just started riding with the Posse. He is a return missionary but he treats her really well. I don't understand why boys think treating girls like crap is the way to go!!!! That's all she has dated - boys who think they need to treat girls like dirt or that she would need to pay for EVERYTHING!!!! This boy doesn't seem to be that way. I know there is a few years difference but the difference of how he treats her is nice for a mother to see! She turns 18 in November so as long as he continues to treat her with respect it will be fine.

Kam's sister-in-law, June, passed away a few weeks ago. She and Johnny would have been married 50 years one week later. I worry about him now. Kam's brother-in-law, Edson Holm - Debbie's husband, passed away from a massive heart attact at work yesterday. I'm not sure if we will be going to show our support for Debbie though. She is the one sibling left down at Colorado City, AZ (the Fundamentalist Church under Warren Jeff's). Kam's Aunt Tootsie passed away in February (I think). She was the other one left down there.

Anyway, it's getting late & we have a Frampton reunion tomorrow. Oh, almost forgot...I guess I'm bringing Kelsey's lamb home tomorrow to get some weight on him. His broken leg definitely affected his weight. Poor thing! Anyone want lamb meat? I'm hoping to at least make some of Kelsey's money back so it won't be such as huge loss for her. Have a great night!
