pigs and puberty :)

Thursday evening Scott & drove to Granbury and back later that night so we could attend Joseph's AG show. It was the last show before Polly would be sold and the last of Josephs AG experience with her so we wanted to be there and cheer him on.

I was amazed to find that Polly had reached her goal weight of 200 lbs!! Wow, that is a big girl. Joseph has been caring for her by feeding, bathing, cleaning her pen and training her. He has been caring for Polly since Sept when she was ALOT smaller .... she has grown quickly.

Not only has Polly the pig grown but so has Joseph! I was swelling with pride as I watched him dressed so nicely showing his pig... I fought back tears behind my camera lens as I looked at this young boy and thought about how he is changing into a young man. It seems to be happening so quickly! Just this summer he was teasing me that he was about to be taller than me and sure enough within just these last few months he has passed me up he is now 5'9 wow... I bet he will pass 6' soon.

He is not a perfect kid but man he has a big heart for people and he handled the responsibility of having Polly like a champ. He fulfilled his responsibility with her on a daily basis, rain or shine, 30 degree weather or 100 degree weather..... yesterday he called me so excited because he had a buyer for her so, I would like to say: Thank you to everyone who helped us PRAY and PAY for polly to be with us and for everyone for giving Joseph this opportunity. I'm super proud!

Here is a short video I made from the show:

luv you all
