Don't Mess with Texas!

Kennedy lived up to her end of the bargain and earned enough points to take a trip to Texas.  Her request was to have Dad take her and leave Mom at home.  Well, unfortunately there was another twist in order to get to Texas, drop off her sister in OK.  So the three of them headed out and Mom stayed at home to take care of animals.  

They had a great time, Kennedy was able to come back with many stories and a new wardrobe including boots and a hat.  Tressa was able to spend time with her best friend from high school in Stillwater, OK (Go Pokes!) and then fly home.  

I have included pictures of Kennedy in Texas and New Mexico in her new outfit. 

Her new goal is to move to Texas, but that is far off.  We need to graduate from High School first.  

Kennedy also had her first job over the weekend pet sitting.  She loved watching Dogger, the Boxer.  He is a rescue dog and was very well behaved.  

Longhorns!

Year of the purple banner...

Tressa finished off her 10 years in 4H with  style.  Winning the Grand Champion Barrow at the County Fair and Senior Swine Showman and Reserve Champion Dairy Showman.  Kennedy received her purple banner by winning  Grand Champion Grade Dairy.  It has been fun to watch T-Bird grow as a showman over the past 4 years.  The night of the swine show I will always remember when she was picked as the winner what a special memory.  We are very proud of both girls, what a great year!
