Varsity Cheerleader

Jessie made varsity cheerleader this year. She really has a lot of fun cheering. This is the touch down dance they do while the band plays the school song.




Jessie is also a "flyier".......watch this next video and you will see what I mean.

Pontotc County Fair 2009

It is Fair time again and this year Caitlin had two show goats, named Lucy and Ethel. Lucy was in class 3 and Ethel was in class 4. As soon as Lucy finished showing, Caitlin had to run to the holding pen and get Ethel and was right back in the show pen. There was some very stiff competition this year. Lucy took 6th place in her class and Ethel took 3rd place in her class. Their next show is the Tulsa Fair October 10th and 11th.

Stormy Weather

One evening a thunder storm came rolling through with some really amazing clouds.

Summer Visit

I'm really late in posting this....This summer Shuan, Danielle, Eva and Lily came to visit and we really enjoyed it. We swam, rode 4-wheelers, and just enjoyed spending time together. We sure hated to see them leave!

Quartz Moutain Trip

We spent a couple of days at Quartz Mountain in western Oklahoma. The temperature was 109. We tried to cool off in the lake but after about 45 minutes it was time to head back to the cabin and try and stay cool....the air conditioner had a hard time keeping up with the heat! We enjoyed visiting with the other Sanders family members.

It was a traditional 4th of July on the Ranch. Jason and Kayla drove up from Dallas Kevin, Jordan and Hunter came in from Oklahoma City and of course Caitlin, Jessie, Papa and I were here.
