Country Girls

I may have been raised in the city, but when it comes to my girls, they are pure country girls! Lauren's Kindergarten class had a "rodeo" Friday. They barrel raced with stick horses, threw horseshoes, and roped a "steer" with a "lasso"(hoola hoop). She had a blast! She said she likes a cowboys, and a little boy in her class said, "She likes cowboys! Well, I'M am COWBOY!" Too funny! She chose the name Emerson for her horse.






















We only have two hens, but they lay alot of eggs. Here are the latest chicks to hatch. They are so cute. I'm going to try to use some of them and maybe one of the rabbits in some Easter pictures.

















Nicole and Natalie had to show their rabbits at the County Fair for 4H this weekend. Nicole placed 16th out of 20 with her rabbits.




















Natalie placed 5th out of 20 with her rabbits, and she placed 3rd for individual rabbit. This is the first year they have raised an animal for 4H, so we really weren't sure what the judges would look for. Who knew that having a round behind was a good thing?! Another lady and I said, "We would make good rabbits!" HAHA!




















Saturday night was the sale. Usually, the top 10 rabbits get to sell, but since there weren't as many larger animals this year, all the pens of rabbits got to sell. Nicole sold hers for $350.




















Natalie sold her rabbits for $550.00. She was excited. She has always been one to save her money and has been buging me forever about taking the money in her piggy bank and opening her a savings account. So, I guess we will open them each one with their rabbit money.




















After the sale, most buyers don't want the animals, they are just making a donation for the kids, so we got to take our rabbits home.
