Fair was this week and I showed my lamb.

I named her Bonny and Peter also had a lamb, he named it George, it was obviously a boy.

I've done this for three years and this is Peter's first year so I had to help him a lot. These are pictures of us showing Market. Market is where the judge places your lamb and the Fair Board puts it on a list and gives it to the buyers. The higher you are on the list the more money you get from your lamb. And Peter got first in his class and 27th out of about 150 lambs. And I got third in my class. So Peter was in the ring when they chose the Grand Champion.

The next day we did showmanship.

Showmanship is where the judge judges you and your lamb. you have to set it up right, keep your eye on the judge at all times, wipe off your lamb after he touches it and answer all the questions he asks you. My first year I got Reserved Grand Champion in the novice portion and I also got to go to round robin and you have to learn how to do all the animals in a couple of days. and then show them. And in my second year I didn't even get to show my lamb because it got really sick and they wouldn't let me in. So this year I thought I was going to get Grand Champion, I mean I was positive. Oh how I was wrong. I got dead last in my class. I was doing everything they had taught me to do and the only flaw was that I wasn't bracing enough. Oh well there's always next year.

On Saturday I get to sell it, and showmaniship doesn't have anything to do with selling, so that's lucky.

David Archuleta

I'm officially obsessed with David Archuleta. My friend Bailey got a CD of him for her birthday, we listened to it and I immediately fell in love with it. I put a bunch of his songs on my play list and my family is going to be sick of these songs by the end of the week.

Warm Weather!

I just love warm weather! I would way prefer being hot than cold because being hot is just uncomfortable but being cold hurts. Today we were planning to have a picnic in our back yard after church, but it didn't work out because my mom was sick and my dad was in the shower. I packed it and everything so Josh, Joseph, Jesse, Peter, and Libby came, but half of them didn't eat all of their food. Oh well, I guess things don't always work out, especially in this family. It's very warm day and I want to do something outside. Maybe we could go for a walk.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long its just that I've been so busy! If you go onto my mom's blog there is this really cool video. Jon Schmidt made this video for his daughter that is seven years old and her favorite song is Taylor Swift's Love Story and so he made this song for and he says that he just felt that it should go into Coldplay's Viva la Vida. By the way I also like Love Story and Viva la Vida so I liked this song a lot. I just love the cello guy how he just looks so happy when he plays. I was sick the day that my mom first found this video and while she was playing it I asked her "'What is this song?'" because I heard the Viva la Vida and the Love Story and I was really confused. I watched the video for Love Story on YouTube and I love the look on her face when she first sees him coming back at the end. It is just so cute!

Empty Milk Jug Dance

Me and my friend Bailey made up a dance with empty milk jugs while pressing apple cider. We even sing to it! Bailey lives right next to me and is one of my best friends ever, she is like my half - sister she comes over to my house almost every day. She's in fifth grade so besides at home I only see her on the bus.Guess what I got moved up a class in math!

My Life!

Hey. This is my first post so it might be a little scratchy. My name is Mary and I like to ride horses, play soccer (my team was undefeated this year), clog, and lots of other things. My mom has a blog and that inspired me to make my own. I like school my teachers are great, except one, I'm in the lowest math class because there wasn't enough room in the other class, one person was moved down and they still won't move me up so that's retarded. I'm in band, I play the saxophone. I was going to do AAU but my mom said that after soccer we need a brake. The tryouts were today, so that sucks too. Life is good!
