The weekend

Well we have had a busy weekend. Carlee and I left around 8:30 yesterday morning and headed to her school. The band marched in the Missouri Southern Homecoming Parade. The Lamar Middle School received 2nd place out of all the middle schools that attended. The kids were really excited. They looked really good, who would have thought that we would have over 100 kids in band in 7th and 8th grade. When we got back to town we started getting ready for the 4-H hayride at the house. Bert and Tanner pretty much had everything taken care of outside. The parents and kids had a lot of fun I think. We had around 60 people at the house for weiner roast and hayride. This is usually one of the biggest turn outs of the 4-H meetings. Tanner came inside he has been coughing for a couple days. When everyone left I came in to check on him and his eyes were beat red. Took his temperature and it was 102 degrees. He has been sick off and on today with just a fever, cough, and drainage. He is liking all the attention though. We have watched a lot of tv today.
Carlee received good news this morning. She is the proud owner of a pure white shorthorn steer from Iowa. She is very excited. All we have heard is that she just wanted another white calf. Well her dad found her one and Carlee won the bidding process, so we will be getting him soon. We have bid on a couple more today, so we will see what the outcome is on them. We should know something tonight. Carlee and Bert are really having fun with the bidding process over the phone. This is the first year that we have tried this. Bert has met some really nice people through it, so it has worked out nicely!
