Happy, Texas Barbecue Challange

Today, Robby and his FFA students used their bus cooker to participate in the first Happy, Texas Barbecue Challenge. They placed 6th in pork spare ribs and 1st in brisket. Sadie helped hand out the awards as part of her Miss Happy duties. Of course, I didn't have my camera. It was a fun day--everyone at our house is worn out.

Robby and Sadie are attending a pig sale tomorrow. Sadie has a new barrow, he arrived Friday, so no pictures yet.

Miss Happy

Tonight was the Miss Happy contest. Brant and Ashly arrived in time for Ashly to do Sadie's hair.

Sadie posed before the contest.

The girls did an opening dance.

She posed before her time on stage.

On stage, she was escorted by her dad, she introduced herself and then told what she wanted to be when she grows up ("An ag. teacher like my dad so I can help kids show, help them in the shop and teach them about agriculture.").

And, the winner is...

Needless to say, we are all proud of Sadie. She was very poised and well-spoken. Most importantly, she had fun.
