This Isn't My First Rodeo...

Wasn't theirs either...



But it was THEIRS...


and HIS...


and HIS...


We looked on, ooohhed and aaahhed...


sang the National Anthem...



watched riders...


and BULLS...


do their THING!


Each COWBOY out to reach that magic number...


8.00 seconds.


For the wiley bull, the cutting horses and cowboys assisted in convincing them which path they should take.


With 2 Women and 4 boys, we snacked...


watched as some of the bulls got rough...thank goodness for those HELMETS!


We took pictures




snuggled...


admired...


slept...


and ventured home when it got DARK!


We may just have to make this an annual event, because the boys LOVED it and though, try as I may, I am raising COWBOYS, afterall we are in Texas!

Turning 2...

The celebration began on Friday with the trip to the baseball game, -A-'s favorite sport, well that and golf.

Then this morning he woke up and opened gifts that he has been receiving all week in the mail.


This is his new Cubs hat (his first really) and he Loves it!!!
Thank you Nini and Papa!

He collected some awesome Mickey Mouse and the Gang gifts, which were perfect with his love for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Goofy another of his favorites.



Thanks Aunt K, Uncle S, -R- & -Z-


His request for cake was a baseball cake, a Mickey Mouse cake and a Tow Mater cake...
Boy did I have my work cut out for me, this one was the first...
 I cheated, can you tell?


Later on that night we had Bar-B-Q wings for dinner with Grammy, Grandpa & G. Gram and he continued opening gifts, those musical cards are right up his alley.

Thank you Grammy & Grandpa!


He got a brand new pair of shoes and had to test them out, after he ran a couple of laps around the room, he had to stop and watch the "Cowboy Movie", which we found out later, Papa was watching at the same time.


Then back to opening gifts, oooh Handy Manny!

Thank you G. Gram!


And his brothers took care of all his car needs!


-N- helped out when -A- would allow it, which wasn't very often.


Then we finished the night off with Birthday cake! Yummy!


But we weren't quite done, there was still that Tow Mater Cake request that we needed to address...


We continued the celebration with my Aunt K, Uncle S and a bunch of cousins, we went for a swim, barbecued some more and had MORE cake.  So he got the Mater cakes too!


I cannot believe our little boy is 2 already!  He is in love with life and knows what he wants.  He can take down his big brother and loves to beat up his Dad, all for fun of course, well most of the time anyway.  He is in love with his little brother and admires his older brother.  Will play baseball whenever you let him and if he had it his way would never stop.  He cuddles and snuggles and makes us laugh daily.  Growing up in this house has made him quite the little wise guy and he fits perfectly into this family of 5!  And does he know how to PARTY or what?


Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Boy


and maybe next year you can blow out your own candles, but if not don't worry, -N- is always willing to help out!

Take Me Out...

to the


Ball  GAME!


Take me OUT with the crowd,


Buy me some peanuts and CRACKER JACKS


I don't care if we ever get back!


Root, Root, Root for the HOME team,


If they Don't win it's a shame.


For it's 1...2...3 STRIKES you're out


at the ole' BALL game!

Since we didn't make it to the Cubs game in May, we took both -A- and -J- to their first baseball game to see the FW Cats!  The boys had a blast and since we were 4 rows behind home plate it was an amazing experience.  -A- had a hard time with the foul balls that went up and over.  He was rather concerned about where the ball went and at one point let us know it was okay because the airplane flying overhead would get the ball.  We will definitely be going back!!!
