Pet Week

Austin's class had Pet Week at school this week. If you had a pet you were allowed to bring it in for show and tell. Naturally we don't have the traditional pets. So Austin sweet talked his dad into bringing one of the calves to school this morning. Austin bottle fed it and they took turns petting it and those who were brave let it suck on their finger.





Gotta love these calves! Just for record sake the current names are:
Austin's - Emma
Emma's - Ariel
Spencer's - House
Ruth - "pllllbbbbbbbbb"
(you know the noise you make when you stick out your tongue and blow. Bless their heart for being so stinkin' fair that they let a one year old name her own calf. What did they expect?!!! Austin took "plllllbbbb" in to share today. You can't really say it without smiling. My favorite is Spencer's prayer earlier this week. He was praying for all the calves by name. He didn't hesitate or laugh when he got to "pllllllbbbb." I wasn't quite as reverent.)

Only in Vale!!! Way to sweet talk Austin! I think it's great!! Has anyone brought in a horse?

Great picture!

I'm happy to report we have no pets, only Uncle Tim & Sam.

Love you, Grandma Richards

That would never fly in Vegas, but way to go Austin. I bet his pet was the favorite!

This is Halloween Nite!
