Come to the Fair, Again

Last weekend, Scott, Kendall, Jacob, and I defied all the odds and finally made it to Grand Rapids, Minnesota for the Itasca County Fair. The wheat harvest was dragging on as the weather would not cooperate for a week and a half, Kendall had to work, and I had job interviews, but we made it. Then, of course, once we got there and I grabbed my camera to take a picture of Jacob with Mike and Sam, I realized that I had forgotten the memory stick in the computer at home. Thank goodness I happened to have two floppy disks, from about four years ago, in my camera case and was able to take a total of about ten pictures (maybe less). So, here are the pictures I was able to get on the disks.

Aunt Kendall was such a great help with Jacob! We called her Nanny all weekend because she spent most of her time entertaining Jacob or getting him to take a nap! It was a lot less of a worry for Scott and I having her there! Jacob was wonderful too! He does such a good job at the fairs and is really warming up to the cows, as you can see from one of the pictures! He's not afraid to pet them anymore and as soon as he hears one "moo" he's turning every direction to try to find it!
We did pretty well at the show! We took a yearling heifer and two heifer calves. The calves had just been weaned and halter broke all in a week and a half so we were proud they behaved and placed as good as they did considering the stress they had been under for the past couple of weeks! Anyway, we had a great time and can't wait for fairs to start again next year!
Here's some pictures of Jacob, Scott showing a heifer calf, and Sam showing one of our heifer calves!

Thanks for checking in! Oh, by the way, Jacob has almost realized he can crawl (he's doing it but doesn't know it yet) and he's pulling himself up onto his knees to look into his toy box and to look through the bars on his crib (so cute!)! You can really see his two teeth in one of the pictures too!
