Happy Birthday Eli

Eli turned 7 years old today and got to miss school and go to the Nacogdoches County Steer Show! They announced it was his birthday over the loud speaker during the show and he was super excited about that! Here he is smiling big during the announcement. 

I really can't believe you are already 7 years old and about to complete first grade. Things you currently love are: soccer, the Astros, baseball cards, playing chess, tractors, fishing, chicken nuggets, and people. You're a people person for sure! Your best friends are Char, Abram and Henry. 

You often crack yourself up and when you get the giggles they are contagious. You favorite subject besides PE is math. You are always listening and there is not much that you miss. You have quite the memory too!

This is he his cowboy pose in case you were wondering! I had to send this picture to his teacher Mrs. Chapman too! 

From you first birthday to your 7th, still loves getting presents and John Deere.

Happy Birthday Cason

 Yesterday Cason turned 12! We celebrated Monday evening because soccer takes over our lives this time of year on Tuesday's. From his 1st birthday to his 12th, still blond, blue eyed and smiling! 

HLSR 2023

 Last week we spent the remainder of Spring Break at HLSR for the Shorthorn Heifer Show. Bradley, Emory, and Cason headed to Houston Wednesday evening, getting into the barn about 4:00 Thursday morning. Eli and I headed down Thursday morning, taking a Chuck E. Cheese pit stop before checking in to the hotel room and then heading over to the NRG Arena. Emory and Ellie didn't show until Saturday morning, so there was a lot of hanging out in the barn, watching other breeds show, and walking around. 

Shooting THREE's!

Eli lost a tooth on the way to NRG! 

Emory and Ellie hanging out!

Cason invented barn golf. He fashioned a golf club out of trash and duct tape!

Emory was in Class 8. There were about 20 in her class and she finished 4th! 

Ellie's I am over HLSR look! 

It took Bradley and Emory nearly 3 hours to go and get the trailer, which was parked a few miles down the road. 

Top 4 in Class 8

We had a great time and made many memories. I also believe Emory is hooked on showing at Houston. 

Medieval Feast

At Regents every year grades 4th, 8th, and 11th participate in a Medieval Feast. The event includes a wonderful feast, as well as various assignments/presentations/games from the time period as it pertains to what the different grade levels have been learning. Here is Emory's 4th and 8th grades Medieval Feast photo! 

80's Murder Mystery Party

Tonight the Upper School (7th - 12th grades) had a 80's Murder Mystery Party! Emory's character was Chelsie Cheerleader! She said she had a blast! 

 

At The Cross Classic

Today we took the steers to the At The Cross Classic show in Jacksonville. Cason and George II had a good day and GII somewhat cooperated in the ring. Emory and Jack has a great day, winning Champion Senior in Showmanship and Reserve Champion Steer in both rings! 

 

Patriot's Pen Award

This morning we learned that Cason's essay, My Pledge to our Veterans, was chosen as the winning essay for Nacogdoches county schools (6th - 8th grades) in the Patriot's Pen Essay Competition. He won this great plaque and $100. He was super surprised and excited!

Two of his classmates came in 2nd and 3rd and a senior from their school won 3rd place in the high school contest. 

 The winner's of the 2022 Patriot's Pen Essay Competition!!
