Last week Vanessa had her big first sheep weigh in. She was so excited when I went and picked her up from school and already had the sheep loaded in the truck to head to the fair grounds. Then she saw that Papa was there (if you know my dad he has to know what the sheep weigh for the year). She did great and her lamb was great also. Can't believe that my little girl is 8 and in 4-H. I remember my first 4-H also and thinking how neat it was that my dad sheared the sheep now Vanessa is there with her Papa.
Here are the girls and Ryan with their sheared lambs...Papa sheared them before everyone's so they will grow better. The actual 4-H shearing isn't till end of June.
Vanessa and her lamb Butch. We told her to start playing and loving with it and I caught her doing this...Butch weighed 81 pounds at the weigh in we were happy.
Trista being a great little sister and picking up all the wool for her sister.

Papa shearing Butch. Vanessa loved "her sheep" getting sheared and my dad loved his new clippers that plugged in anywhere.
