Pig Wrestling Labor day 2009!!

That is right you read the title correctly PIG WRESTLING!! Now you think this post is going to be of maybe Troy pig wrestling. NO way it is of Kage, Troy and ME all Pig Wrestling on Labor Day. I know it sound gross and your right it is. My Brother-in-law and sister-in-laws and all their family was in charge of it so I kind of go volunteered to do it. My brother called and said I was on a team with Amanda my sister,my mom, and my sister-in-law Angie. Well when it came down to it my sister-in-law gave up her place to Troys sister Shelley cause she already had her turn with the pigs. Now if an one knows me at all they know I am not a PIG WRESTLER or should I ever even try but I did it. Kage did it with his cousin Madison and Hayden and a friend. They were Harry Potter Team. That is the other crazy thing about it your team has to have a name and then everyone on your team dresses up. Troys sister Shelley made them all cute Harry Potter costumes. Kage was so funny out there. He is tipping toes into the pen of course he does not want to get muddy but no choice in this situation. When they say start he walk really slow over to the pig and little Maddy the only girl on the team run over to the pig she is all over him. It was so cute. Kage touched him a few times but did not want to get to close to him I was yelling at him the whole time to grab him and pick him up. Well meanless to say they never got the pig in the barrel but I think it was fun for them. After it was over Kage said ""mom did you know pigs have hair!" It was so funny I guess you learn something new everyday. Then it was the guys turn. Troy and his team walked into the arena and 14 seconds later they had the pig in the barrel just like that!! I really did no even get muddy. I could not believe it. But the good news is they were in winners in the men's category. They won $200 not bad for getting a little muddy and 14 seconds later! Well now it is our turn. I seriously was so scared. I had butterflies so bad. We walk in the arena and the mud was soooo cold. When they gave the the OK to start we all ran over to the pig and he was mad he took off running around and we all went chasing him. Amanda had a hold him a few times. I did the splits and feel on my butt! Seriously it had to be so funny watching. Then there was a time or two I was right by the pig and I knew at the moment why Kage did not want to touch him he felt soooooo gross. A hairy, muddy pig YUCK!! I don't even want to hold a cute little CLEAN dog or cat why would I want to pick up a muddy pig! I just kept screaming and telling to Amanda he feels gross I don't want to touch him. My dad was right outside the pen yelling at me to just pick him up. I could not do it. One point Amanda, Shelley and my mom all had him in there arms and of coarse I was at the other end of the pen and they dropped him. I think that was when I did the splits and fell so I was trying to get up. I sure my little bit of muscles would not have helped out that much to get him in the barrel. But after 60 seconds of rolling around in the mud with the pig we did not get him in. It was fun cause I had a good laugh and I am sure I gave everyone else a good laugh. After we were done the fire department was there and they would spray you off. Next year my sister said I am not on her team she wants someone who will touch the MUDDY and HAIRY pig!!!!

Most of you heard that back in August after only having Snickers about a month and a half he was ran over by a car and died. It was not a good day in our house. I never, never, never even dreamed of crying over an animal especially a cat but I cried and I cried and I cried. When we told Kager about it and he was crying so hard and so upset over it I could not help it I was crying just as hard. I really was sad for the kitten but mostly so sad to see my son soooooo upset and I could not do anything about it. It was a long week but finally things started to get better just in time for our neighbor down street to call and say they had baby kittens they were giving a way and one looked just like our Snicker. We went to look at them and of coarse Kager and Kenlee fell in love with her. So we are once again a 2 cat family again. She is so cute and my kids love her. Her and Doodles even like each other. But I do need to get both of them fixed or else we are going to be having babies of our own!!!

Fun times on the Boat!

We knew summer was coming to an end so we took advantage of August and tried to go out on the boat as often as we could. I finally got up on the wake board. Now I did not say I am good once I get up but I get up. I am out of control. I am doing tricks hat I don't want to do so I am screaming and half the time I just let go cause I get so scared cause of the tricks I am doing!! All the soar muscles and trying again and again finally paid off.

Troy all gets stuck driving and not playing much!!
