We are still battling snakes and this is what happened in our yard today. Avery had a field day with it after Charles almost stepped on it. This was in almost the same exact spot the girls encountered one

Pedro's 11th Birthday

Pedro celebrated her birthday this past weekend. We took her out to eat at Carlos O'Kelly's - her choice since it was all about the ice cream covered in honey and corn flakes! We had softball practice that evening - 5 hours worth - so we came hom after practice and did presents and cake! Notice her signature colors - Lime Green and Turqouise! We gave her the movie Alice in Wonderland and she got an itunes gift card and a bubble machine from Diddie and Big Boy! That has been a lot of fun! Tonight we have a softball game in Abilene for Pedro.

Since Pedro had a game the night of her birthday and Diddie had a game also but in a different town - we split ways - Charles stayed with Pedro and
Big Boy and I went to JC with Diddie! Pedro got to pitch in her game - she is learning quickly and getting lessons from a coach on "how to" get er done! Diddie this year is pitching for her 18u team and it is a great learning tool for her. She gets very tired by the end of the game but Monday night had 5 strike outs, 1 pop fly she caught, and short stuff did a vertical jump and caught a ball headed for center field - man I wish I had it on camera - White Girls Can Jump! They won their game 8 to 6.

Leonardville Hullabaloo Show Results

Whew - that is all I can say. We had a very successful, albeit confusing, day for our tractor show. It decided to sprinkle and gently rain off and on but then the sun came out and it went away and turned into a beautiful evening for a parade. The wind blew and kept us cool for most of the day. We had over 90 tractors at the show yesterday - and yes, John Deere was Outnumbered. Next year our goal is over 100 again. The parade I heard several people say was way better than any show Manhattan puts on. Don't know - Just repeatin what I heard. Pedro and Diddie both started their own tractors and drove them threw the parade themselves this year. Charles got his Spoked Flywheel D runnig like it should - it was the first D sold at WW Smith & sons in Clay Center. We are looking for information about this tractor so we can bring it to Piotique. We paraded in the morning to the nursing home. I wish I would have counted how many tractors there were - well over 30 I bet that paraded with us. It is nice for the nursing home residents, since the parade route has been cut off from that way now.
