The Schers: 2010

It's been a busy summer and I will let the pictures show and tell for me.

Garrett Mini 4-H Showmanship - June 2010

Now he wants to show chickens!

Showing Shetland sheep.

Back to his comfort level.

He did an awesome job!

Kaylynn's Grant County Fair Adventure!

Kaylynn earns Runner Up Best of Show (Reserve Grand) for the Sports project!

Pig show - busy and great day!

Receiving Champion Hampshire Gilt Award.

Showing off the awards of the day. The highlight - Champion Novice Showman!

Have to take the formal picture.

Kaylynn did a demonstration - thanks to everyone who helped her practice on vacation - she did great!

From Fair to Taylor Basketball Camp for a Week.

Off to basketball camp - showing defense stance.

Improved those dribbling skills.

Competitors better watch out - intense defense!

Eric has been giving Young Eagle Flights.

One of many flights.

Jasper County Fair - July 2010

Trisha shows a pig - winning her class!

Garrett with SPOT!

Eli and his Landrace - thanks for helping KK.

Papa and Jordan watching the pigs.

Look at that smile - what did Nana do to get that grim?

Smiling at Grandpa Meyer.

All grins.

Cedar Point Adventure

Kids and I waiting to get in the gate.

First roller coaster they attempted - I did it last.

Indiana State Fair - August 2010

Keeping an eye on the judge.

Look at that showman!

Then off to do an Action Demo at the 4-H Exhibit Hall. She had the biggest crowd to try hers out.

Open show Duroc - up to the top but weighed out - we still think there was something up with the scales!

Kaylynn in the Open Show.

Last Summer Blast of Fun

Thanks to the Moritz's for asking us to go along. We went to the preseason Colts game today and had a great time!

What a great picture of some great people!

The view from the high rise seats we sat in the first half.

Taken with zoom when Peyton received his MVP award.

Who is this guy?

Looking good!

Mom wanted a picture with the kiddos.

Moved to some empty seats down low for the second half. Kids went tothe rail for a picture.

When we were up high, Kaylynn took pictures on her phone through a pair of binoculars. Says it worked!

The man from the low seats.

Who let the gorillas in?

Flying high with the Colts!

What a great summer we have had, back to school tomorrow and soccer practices underway. Games will start the end of the month and will see Eric and I going different directions quite often. Hard to believe it is nearly the end of August but it is and the kids are heading back in the morning. I guess I should head to bed myself so we have a smooth morning!

I have to admit that I started the post before this one at the beginnign of May. Can't believe it took me that long to actually post it!

Well, I am going to post more pictures below. Recap of highlights from the last few weeks:

On Mother's Day, May 9th we went to the farm and brought the chimney down and saw the progress of the addition. Pictures are below.
Garrett is the Indiana State Judo Champion, Light Weight 7&8 Year Olds; Record of 4 wins and 1 loss last Saturday. What a day!
On Sunday, Kaylynn completed her Marion Lightning Soccer Spring finishing 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie in league play.
Eric has been busy working on planes and trying to get our yard in shape (hard to do when you are not home much).
Kelly has accepted a new job and begins it June 1st. She will be running the 4-H program for Howard County as the Extension Educator.
Unfortunately, we had to get rid of Syvelster - but in exchange we are now proud owners of 2 hamsters - Alvin and Wally.
Pigs have arrived and the county fair is fast approaching (June 20th it starts with pigs showing on the 21st).

I think that covers the highlights for now. Hope everyone is well!
