High School Project!

Lucas has joined Vo-Tech this year. He is still able to take all his pre-college classes but instead of taking chorus or band - he's decided to join in the Ag classes. I was fine with this. I had no problems with it. We live around a lot of farms and he loves helping out with hay and feeding and tinkering with the tractors, so it makes sense. UNTIL....... (ha ha)

I found out he has to do an Ag project this year. His project: raising a pig.....

In my backyard!!!!!!

He's starting to design the pig pen, the feeding trough and is even planning on making a little house to keep Porker (he's pre-named) out of the sun.

He's promised to feed him and water him and take care of him. I'm told I will have to do nothing, although I'm pretty sure I heard that before. The plan is - in December, Porker's going to auction. But - if it doesn't - we may be having a ham for Christmas..... ha ha

Tournament Results

Sadly, we did not come in first in the Mt. Union tournament. But - we did come in third overall and played against some teams that were very, very good. I'm very proud of the Fulton County team - they just ROCKED!

These were Michael's last little league games ever. Next year, he wants to play in the jr. high team and may even try out for the travelling team. He went out on a high note - on his last time up to bad - he hit a home run. GOOD JOB Michael - we are very proud of you.

Football helmet fittings began Monday and we will be picking up uniforms this weekend.

On to our next sports season......................

We Won Again!!!

In the McConnellsburg tournament, the Fulton County All Stars took first place again. Congratulations to the kids - you're doing a wonderful job. One more tournament left to go......

Congratulations Fulton County All Stars

The Fulton County All Star Little League Team won the Mercersburg Tournament Championship. They went undeafeated throughout the tournament and won the champion 13-0 after their pitcher pitched a no-hitter. Congratulations to all! Two more tournaments left..... Keep up the hard work.

Happy Father's Day

Track Pictures

Here's a picture of Lucas throwing shotput. His furthest throw has been 45' 7", which is really good for high school - especially a tenth grader.

I *LOVE* this picture! He's spinning around and throwing the discus. His feet are off the ground! His longest throw so far is 137'. At the last track meet, he threw a really off-center throw! He almost - yes - almost - hit a bright shiny red corvette!

At one of the track meets, he was asked to throw javelin for his team since a few kids were out. He did it, but had never even practiced throwing javelin before. When he was done, he came over to us - laughed and said - "I tried, but even the girls beat me!"

I *like* my pretend brake!

Lucas is doing much better in his driving, but now he's mad at me. He's gotten a little more comfortable driving and now will speed up too fast or cut corners too sharply. I then have to slam on the pretend brakes located in the passenger footwell. Lucas thinks I use the fake brake way too often - LOL.

I tell him that many times it's either slam a fake brake or scream in abject terror, but he says he's not buying it.

By the time he gets his real license, I may have a hole stomped in the floor and my fingerprints permanently indented in the side door handle. No wonder parents of teenagers have gray hair.
