Obedience Grand Champion

Kyle showed Bosco at the Canyon County Fair on July 24th. It was a long, hot day, but what a great day it was! They got a blue ribbon in showmanship. Kyle was happy with that, as showmanship is definitely not his favorite part of 4H.

He's been working hard at obedience with Bosco and all that hard work really paid off. He earned a blue ribbon and 1st place rosette in his division. He then went on to compete against the top two kids from each division (6 kids in all) for Grand Champion. He was shocked when the judge handed him the fancy rosette that said "Champion" on it. He also won a director's chair that has the Fair logo, year and Obedience Grand Champion embroidered on it.

I didn't take pictures at the Fair (bad mommy!). It was so hot we just wanted to go home. I did take some pictures later, at least.

This is his fancy Champion ribbon. It's really pretty!

And the rest of the blue ribbons he won.
Poor Bosco was wiped out for the rest of the day. He was literally dog tired.

A messenger bag for the new computer from Grandpa Jon & Grandma Kristin. He keeps telling me he loves this bag. It will be perfect for school, plenty of room for books, binders and the computer

Sarah made Kyle's cake this year. Isn't it just too cool?!

14!

Kyle celebrated number 14 with dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house. His request for dinner was Grandma's ribs and baked beans. Yum! Sarah and Theresa celebrated with us.


Lots of computer gifts this year, starting with a flash drive.

Gotta have a few new books, too!

Eric's been teasing Kyle that he needs to start shaving (he really does!) and told Kyle he was going to buy him a razor for his birthday. Kyle didn't really believe him...silly boy...he should know better!

Kyle's favorite present...an Acer Aspire notebook computer.
