August

Oh, August is always so stinking busy and this year was no exception. Our 4-H books were completed and turned in at the first of the month. I was able to secure Cameron some housing in Twin since he is attending the College of Southern Idaho this fall. Signed him up for classes and he is set to go. :D

Mom, Mindy, and I took a Geology class and got to explore a little bit of Oakley and Albion. Who knew there were star garnets along the road to Mt. Harrison. Found my self an AWESOME sample.



Fair week was a busy one with our normal 4-H projects. Horses on Monday, sheep on Tuesday and Wednesday, then you throw in all the Princess competition events and is a BUSY, BUSY week.

Kambrie struggled this year in her showing classes with her horse Ally. They did their best and did a great job considering she usually just rides him for barrels and poles. She also did a great job showing her lamb this year and placed in the top 10. The Princess competition was stressful but also a lot of fun. It is always fun finding new clothes and designing new shirts to show in. Deanna does a great job in outfitting Miss Kambrie.


Kambrie did absolutely wonderful on her speech, she did win the speech competition, but struggled with the riding portion. She did a great job competing and are very thankful that Brandon and Carie let us borrow an awesome horse Miss Kitty. We had planned on using Jake, but he never did heal up throughout the summer.




She competed against some really tough girls and ended up 1st attendant to Hallee Hitt. Hallee did a great job riding. I was glad to see Hallee do well, and hope that they remain good friends. I believe her favorite part of the whole competion was going to the Jake Owens concert. She loves going and always comes home with a souvenir or two.

























Grandpa Rod was able to fly up and stay with Cameron for a few days. He related that where Cameron had been living was not a overly roomy or clean. LOL!!! They had a great time sight seeing, fishing, and meeting people. Cameron had met Wild Bill from Deadliest Catch earlier in the month. So while Grandpa Rod was there Cameron introduced Grandpa to Wild Bill. They chatted for quite some time. Grandpa & Cameron returned on the 25th of August. Cameron started classes at CSI the next day. Crazy, Crazy, August days.
