Houston...we may have a genius on our hands!

So, yesterday was the big Spelling Bee at St. Joseph. Cody was 1 of 3 representing the 4th grade. He asked Craig to take off work to watch him. Craig said sure and came. Cody was
N-E-R-V-O-U-S!! He said that his tummy felt like he was going to throw up every time Mrs. Koester called his name to spell a new word.

Before you knew it they were down to the last three spellers. Cody was the only 4th grader and the other students were 5th graders. He was so excited to be in the top three! Then they called his name again to come to the microphone. His last word was "resembled".

R-E-S-E-M-B-L-E-D

He got it right! The next two contestants gave it a good try at thier words, but didn't quite get them. Congrats to my Cody who will be representing St. Joseph at the County Spelling Bee in October!!!!

Today's Ag Report

Old McJones has her chickens. =) (More in fact. Mr. McJones wanted a different breed, so now we are up to 15!) To compensate for the chickens Farmer Craig decided that he needed something too. Orange in particular. Out of all the "farm things" that he could choose from he went for a tractor. I ask all of you, my wonderful subscribers, do 15 chicks equal 1 tractor? I would say not. Do you know how many eggs I will have to sell to pay for this orange tractor?
But then I seen this. One of those moments that seems to change everything.

She rode everywhere with him yesterday. Sadie McJones lovin her tractor time with Daddy McJones. I guess I'll let this one slide....
