Baylor Co. Youth Basketball

Kade participated in his very last year of Baylor County Youth Basketball (Little Dribblers).  I was his coach, along with Clint and Skye.  We had a great time and learned a lot about the rules and skills that go with basketball.  Kade was #5.



Dr. Seuss's Birthday Celebration

The last week of February Layton's elementary school celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by wearing crazy hats.  Layton chose to wear one like The Cat in the Hat.  Layton loves to read and gets a big kick out of reading Dr. Seuss's wonderful stories.

 

 

Valentine's Day

Layton had so much fun at his 1st grade Valentine's Day party. 

 

 

 

FWSSR 2014

On February 2, 2014, Kade showed at his very first major livestock show, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.  I can't quite remember how many classes of goats there were, but I believe it was around 10.  Each class had approximately 80 goats.  Kade was in a heavy weight class.  Out of the approximate 80 in his class, Kade and his goat ended up 10th.  We were so excited!  This just meant a ribbon and $20, but we made the cut and saw that months of hard work paid off.

 

 

YMCA B-Ball 2013-2014

Kade played with a group of Seymour 5th and 6th graders in the Wichita Falls YMCA youth basketball league during the fall and winter of 2013-2014.  He was coached by Blaine Niell, Nicki Slaggle and Maggie Slaggle.  He got a lot of great experience and improved tremendously.



Baylor Co. Jr. Livestock Show 2014

Our annual county livestock show was early this year.  It was held January 2-4.  Kade showed rabbits, goats and a heifer.  

We had a horrible year with our rabbits and lost five out of eight rabbits before the show came around.  We had the three remaining ones living in our kitchen in a guinea pig cage just trying to keep them alive!  We placed in the bottom of both single classes we showed in.

We had some awesome goats this year.  They were both in the same weight class, but Kade had a friend show the doe for him.  He ended up first with his wether, Sylvester, and his friend received second with his doe, Twitty.  Sylvester ended up being Reserve Grand Champion overall.  Kade received 2nd place in the Jr. Goat Showmanship.

Our heifer project was so much fun this year.  Clint says it will probably never be this easy again.  Our Red Angus, Millie, is super gentle.  It only took us a week to halter break her and teach her to lead!  Kade received first in his class with Millie.  We were tickled with those results.  He also received 3rd place Jr. Heifer Showmanship....he had some really tough competition, so we were pumped with that placing, too.

Kade also entered the photography contest.  He and Babers went and captured some really neat scenes one Sunday afternoon.

I love how Millie has her tongue stuck out!
