The Chosen 4

Hey girls!
So, some of you will know that I LOVE photography and that I've been entering my pictures in our county fair.
Well, I've picked my 4 best and favorite photos! These'll be entered in August 12-13 and I'll have to live with the suspense of not knowing how well I did for a WEEK before the fair opens. Ugh....
BUT I'M SO EXITED! I love the fair! I love entering my works and getting critiques from the Pro's:)
Would you like to see the photos I've chosen? I'm sure you do:)

 This darling picture of my sister Allison:) Seriously. This. Picture. She HATES getting her picture taken so I was so happy to get her in this mood:D

 This is my cousin Hunter back in February:) He was sleeping on my bed, sooooo I thought it was a perfect time to practice with my new camera;)

 Mummy Hummy! So when we had the baby humming birds out I got some awesome pictures:) This is my best of the best though<3

My Lone Daisy! I'm extremely happy with how this photo turned out. It could have only been better if it was a perfectly round daisy. But no. Its a realistic flower:)

I'm hoping and praying that the Lord blesses me with good critiques and possibly a Blue and/or Red ribbon:) It's not really the ribbon that matters to me, it's knowing that I earned them and that they thought my photos were worth that high of a score. I've already been belles with 2 red ribbons and 1 blue ribbon over the last three years, and it means a lot to me<3

I'm also going to enter some beaded necklaces and some crochet hats and a bag I made:) to bad they don't have a division for creative writing or I'd be entering into that also!

I'll talk to you folks later:)  hope you all have a day blessed with lots of love, happiness, joy and laughter!

Animals:)

Hey everyone!

So first off I just want thank you for all your prayer for our calf. it really means a lot:) unfortunately, our little calf passed away Saturday night:'( we ended up figuring out what was the matter and doing an emergency operation in the middle of the night... she did okay while we were taking care of her but she was gone in the morning:(

but i promised you guys pictures of the animals so here they are:D

this is Nanny, the milk goat.

this is T Bone, who was sold at action a few days ago.

this was Piper, the one who died:( she was a beautiful little heifer!

these are two of the pigs:) 

this is a pig too but hes like a Kune-Kune or something... he's like a tank! 

these are the sheep. Mary and her little Lamb ;) 

this is Charlie and the little white one is Bunk. he wouldn't let me get a good picture of him:-/

this is Oreo! he's brand new! like seriously he's like 3 days old. he's so soft and silky!

this is Bambi:) i love him<3 he's so gentle and calm! he's 4 days old.

I love both of the calves, but Oreo is so rough and energetic... They're both cute ADORABLE though:)
Saturday night these two were brought to our house and put in a pen along with poor sick Piper. when we were doing the operation Bambi kept getting in the way and was trying to eat us, so it was my job to keep him busy. I fed him and he kept sucking on my hands, fingers, shirt ans pants. i was covered with slobber! it was so gross xD
today while i was watching Oreo finish eating he chased me out the pen door! he was trying to suck on my favorite pair of shorts. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! lol:)
We also have chickens and some ducks but I didn't get any good pictures of them.

so what are all of you going to do for 4th of July? hope you're going to have a good time:D

GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT IS STILL HERE! hopefully it doesn't leave. but hey just to be safe, i recommend getting Bloglovin! i like it way better than google reader:)
