It's October already?? where does the time go?

I've been getting a few complaints about not updating the blog (aka Butch) so here it goes:


Pictures from the MO State Fair at the pig races:

The infamous Barbie cake, complients of Karla from the 4-H office. The pink sprinkles are actually little pigs.

After the state fair, I started my new job at Career Services. Things are going well, hectic because it is recruiting season, but they will calm down soon. I hope.

Greg headed to his parents for a few days in August to help with the Missouri Angus Tour in Southeast Missouri. He hauled Angus (the horse) and a few calves home on that trip.

Greg came back and then headed to Montana for a few days for meetings. I went to the Payne county fair with Kara and had a corn dog and curly fries.

Greg in Montana for meetings:


He came back and then it was football season. The Cowboys and Tigers are both off to a great start. We have been tailgating when we can.

I gave up football tickets to help Greg wean some calves (am I great wife or what?) We also worked them and we didn't yell at each other too much, mainly just Greg yelling at the calves for being dumb.

A few days later, Greg headed to his parents to deliver these calves. (Do we see a reoccuring pattern here?, Greg goes home, Lesley works, Greg goes somewhere, Lesley stays home, I guess someone has to hold the fort down.) He was gone for week. While he was gone, I went to the Oklahoma City State Fair with my friend Kara. We had lemonade and indian tacos. We had a great time and did some shoppping. Greg came back and built a pen for our new horse. He weaned it on Thursday so it should move to our house sometime in the next week or so.

We went to the Tulsa State Fair on Sunday with Kara because the Sugar Art cake competion was going on. I'll post pictures of that when I get them from Kara. I'm a dork about those kinds of things. I had a funnel cake there.

Andy and Jessica are getting married in a little over a month. So I'll be back in Missouri then. I can't believe it is already October. Bunco is going well, I enjoy it. We have a couple of weddings coming up soon. I canned for the first time in August. It was some salsa. I think I'll have to make some more this weekend. My mind is going blank and my lunch break is almost over, so if anything else great comes to mind, I'll try to post it.
