Rodeo Time

Kory has become a little rodeo junkie! Not sure what it is but he can not get enough of the rodeo. He was SO tired from the crazy weekend we had, that I kept him home from school on Monday! 3-Yes that is 3 rodeo performances he has went to and would of liked to go to ALL of them! Throughout the rodeo performances Kory kept cracking me up...saying with a foot stomp and arm motion...GET Em..GET Em (talking about the bulls) and "Those Bulls are just out causing trouble!" When asked about his favorite part...ALL OF IT!!! He says very enthusiastically! Not able to choose a favorite part??? Now that shows just how much he enjoyed the rodeo. Our schedule looked liked:

Thursday: I get home and Kory says...Momma Cole is riding a sheep tonight. Can we go see him please please please. I say..what Kory-Cole is riding a sheep? Yah...he is riding a sheep. Ms. Preston (his principle) put all our names in a hat that wanted to ride the sheep and she pulled Cole's out-HE IS RIDING THE SHEEP TONIGHT MOMMA.. Ok Kory I say-not sure but thinking he is talking about the mutton busting at the rodeo. I say-at the rodeo??? YES MOMMA!!! Can we go please please!!! So, Keith ends up taking him to watch Cole ride the sheep and our little rodeo junkie's addiction has begun!

Friday- We were able to keep Kory out of the fairgrounds due to promising him a Sat. full of rodeo fun and not to mention he is absolutely EXHAUSTED from his night before!

Saturday- Keith and Kory are at the parade by 8:00-YES that is 8:00 AM and the parade does not start until 10:00! Talk about hard core! Kenedee and I find out places around 9:30 in order to cheer them on!! Eat with the family at Henrys, go home for a short rest and then out to the fairgrounds we go! Rides, rides and more rides! Cotton candy, lemonade, funnel cakes, BEER and Oscar the Robot are among our family's favorite things! Drop Kenedee off with Grandma and head to the rodeo! More cotton candy and lemonade! Lots of livestock and cowboys! LATE NIGHT especially for a 5 year old!

Sunday- Church, out to eat at Francos (YUM YUM) and back to the fairgrounds! More Oscar the robot, exhibits, petting zoo and Kory and I go back to the rodeo. Only at my 5 year old's unrelenting persistence and we had free tickets from the parade! Let me tell you we were tired!

The next Thursday- Back up at the fairgrounds. Keith took Kory to the piggy show and Kory thought he was in HOG HEAVEN!!! HA HA!!! (couldn't resist)! Here are some pictures from our weekend!

My Angel's First Year

What a precious bundle of joy you are
Cute from head to toe.
You melt our hearts with your sweetness
Everywhere you go.
You're a very special gift
Descended from heaven above.
The most perfect little angel
Sent for Momma, Dadda & Bubba to love.
With all my love and best wishes
for your very 1st birthday.

Be on the Look Out for the Post Man!!!

2 of the Cutest Kiddos Ever

.Aren't they super cute! My 2 little messes!


Pictures of my BIG baby boy! He is just getting SO big. Everyday he just makes me prouder and prouder-such a little man! As we all know though, 5 year olds still have their moments, but to me those are special too because it shows me that he is still a little boy. It is not going to be too much longer and there will be NO trace of little boy anymore. :( That makes me SO sad!! Here he is acting silly and dancing to Wanna Be A Rock Star.






Guess who is almost one? Can you guys believe that a whole year has passed since Kenedee was born. I just do not know where all the time has gone. I tried to get some pictures of her the other day for her birthday invites and Oh-MY Gosh she is SUCH a STINKER!!! Here are some of her in ALL her little glory!!

What a pretty girl we have!!!


Playing Peek-A Boo with Daddy who was behind the bar.



This is her showing me her flower.


Her eyes are all puffy because she was mad a me for making her sit still and not eat her ruffles!!

Holy Cow...Is It February Already!!!

Well...I am falling WAY behind. Let's just start with yesterday! I got rear-ended! Not Fun! My car is ok...even though it is making wierd noises and the bumper is going to have to be completly replaced. I am fine-although my back is a little sore. The kiddo that hit me-his car-NOT SO GOOD! He had to have it Clarks come and pick it up.

Our kitchen is a disaster. I am not sure who had the bright idea that our walls and cabinents needed to be painted, but holy moly what a mess it is now. We started with the back living room being re-painted a nice neutral khaki color and the dining room to match. Although that was a pain it was nothing compared to the craziness of having to empty ALL our kitchen cabinents, re-locate the fridge, having NO stove and the bar now in the dining room. YES! It is a crazy hot mess!

On to some other good news...I have some of my items at Rattle Dazzle. I pay a percentage of the rent, utilities and website, as well as a percentage of commission for Michelle selling my items and POOF the perfect partnership. My hats, headbands, pettiskirts and pillowcase dresses are now there. I am SO excited about them! They really look very cute. She has BIG plans for the store, and hopefully by spring time it will be FULL of new and very exciting inventory. I am also selling some MudPie lines and One Posh Kid, which although a little higher in price has just about some of the cutest kid clothes EVER!!!! I am really hoping to learn lots from her and just very excited about it. I have spent so many hours trying to find just the right stuff and I think you all should go check it out!

Here are just some of the headbands/hats/bags that I have there right now:






Here are some pics. from January/February. Look at my little monkey. She is just growing SO fast and she is the little MESS!! You have no idea what a MESS she is. Tiffany took them to the park the other day and Kenedee discovered the swing. That is her new favorite thing! I can not beleive how fast they grow!







I am planning on having a Kenedee a birthday party-with a little Love Bug theme. Not sure of the specifics yet, but I will be mailing invites out in the next week or so.

Here are some pics. from Christmas Time. My Big Monkeys 5th Christmas and my little monkey's 1st Christmas.
