Misfit Dynasty

Earlier this week, Sophie's lamb club, The Misfits, posed for some pictures that will be used during fair week.  This year, they are using a Duck Dynasty theme, dubbing themselves the "Misfit Dynasty."  This group of kids and parents is always great to work with.  It's nice to watch how much the kids grow and learn from year to year.  The pictures turned out pretty great too!

Fergus the Great

Sophie has been hard at work for months with her 4-H lamb, Fergus.  We are in the "home stretch" now as the fair is next week.  With that will bring the end of our time with Fergus and it will be difficult to part this year.  He has been a great lamb; perhaps the most personable we've ever worked with.  Here are some pictures of this sweet guy.

Sophie & Fergus

It's really quite tragic...

I mean just look at this face:

And to think it all started off like this...
perfectly happy taking Churro & Flapjack for a stroll.
That is until Flapjack decided to take Bella for a stroll,
dragging her along {that portion not caught on film}...


And in the aftermath we had:
mangled glasses,

a slightly skinned elbow,

if you really strain,
you'll see some specks on her knuckles,

this injury is more notable,


and finally, down her leg.


All resulting in this pitiful face.

Such a tragedy.

2010 Fair

Sophie and Hannah had their respective class showings for their 4-H lamb projects yesterday at the Sweetwater County Fair. They did great - we are very proud! Sophie placed 3rd in her class of speckle-faced lambs and Hannah 5th in her class of black-faced lambs. Hannah has had a particularly challenging lamb this summer and it was her first 4-H experience so, she is very pleased to have placed {and we are all pleased these projects are coming to an end}!
