Branson's first day of Kindergarten!! I had to go get him from the shop to get ready for school. He wanted to wear his work clothes, but I convinced him to take a shower. Some of the grease came off of his hands. Then he decided it would be okay to wear his new Broncos shirt, even though he thinks it has lions on it. He looked so cute.
Who could resist those fat ears? I think Justin is going to miss Branson, even though he won't admit it yet.
Cowboy?!? Carson is stoked to be sporting his new George Strait Wranglers, and the belt buckle he scored out of Justins drawer (those were the good ol days).
So excited. A new year of school. Off to the big 3rd grade. Carson is ready to show Branson all of the ropes. 
Carson loved horse 4-H. We finally found "Lilly" and it made a world of differnce to have a horse that he like to ride. He can't wait until Justin thinks he is good enough at riding and ground roping to start team roping. 
I think Carson got all red ribbons. Maybe if he could have remembered which person in the arena was the judge it would have helped him out. Not to mention is ability to pay attention to everygthing going on in the world, except what he is supposed to be. Oh well, he had fun and looked cute.
"BEAST"
What a pig? This was the biggest pig of the bunch. Our banker bought this pig. And Carson wrote him a thank you note and told him that he planned to use the money for college, and hoped Beast tasted yummy! I bet he will have a repeat buyer next year. Ha Ha
You better watch out or the pig will be named after you next year.
This is the calf that I thought Justin killed by dragging it around with the four wheeler. But the little sucker did learn to lead, when it came back to.
Branson doesn't even care about his calf. Other than it is fun to ride. If you climb up the fence a few rails and jump off, you can land on the calf and ride it. Thats what Branson and his friends did right before the calf show. And Branson wanted to have a "soft" calf. So Carson shaved it for him. It didn't really matter, as soon as he got in the ring he just wanted to play with the halter rope anyway.
Like I said, Branson was most interested in riding the calf. Payson thought it was great fun too.
Nothing compares to a mans first fish. Especially when he does it all by himself. Just look at that smile, and those squinty, surprised eyes!!
