It has been an adventurous past few days!
Last weekend Ashley and I took the kids to the Clay County Fair. As far as fairs go - this one is first class! We make our yearly pilgrimage there every April. The food is yummy, the restrooms are clean and the rides...well, the majority look safe. But the best part is the livestock auction. Yep, hogs and steers. My kids love em'! Every year we go to the auction and buy a hog or steer from the FFA kids. Good cause and a fun time. Here are a few
pics of the kids enjoying the festivities.
This week also began Hayden Grace's journey in Taekwondo. She loves her kicks and punches. Who knew this Miss Priss would love "HA-YA!" so much!! LOL Today she received her 1st belt. A very proud moment :)

You've got me curious. What do you do with the livestock after you buy it?
It is a very curious purchase ;)
The hogs and steers are always taken straight to the slaughter house. Its a regulation in purchasing. The meat is packaged and you pick it up. They also give you the option to donate all or some to the Children's Home Society or Boy's Foster Ranch.
The money from the purchase goes to the guy or gal's college/future fund that raised it.
