Cowboy Boots...Hay...Pigs...Cows...Tractors

You aren't a true Houstonian until you have been to the Houston Rodeo! We took the boys to their first Houston Rodeo this Saturday. Once upon a time before David and I had children, we LOVED going to the rodeo. We went several times while it was in town to see the rodeo and concerts, but then babies came and well you know what that means. My favorite part of the rodeo is the calf scramble and eating all the yummy food!!! Every year since we have had kiddos, Ethan has had his visit from the asthma fairy during the month of March and going to the rodeo was never a great idea. Hay and asthma equal disaster! This year Ethan has had a great March! Which we are so thankful for! So off to the rodeo we went. Well sort of! We just took them to the Livestock show and children activities. Next year when Callen is a little older we'll take them all to the BIG RODEO and maybe a concert! Would love to of seen Will watch Sugarland in concert and sing his favorite song right along with them! He loves to sing Stuck Like Glue and we love to listen to him sing it! Maybe next year, but we did have a great time this year. Minus the amount of money that is missing in our wallet! Park tickets for 5 people, parking fee, yummy food for 4, and a very expensive face painting for two cute boys equals a broke mommy and daddy!!!!

This is how Will walked through the entire Livestock show. Guess he hasn't become the TRUE Texan just yet!

John Deer Tractors...Don't you just LOVE Will's boots!


The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to the Rodeo

Check out Ethan in the background getting a little up close and personal with the bull!

Happy Callen came along for the ride. He learned how to clap recently and loves to shows us his clapping hands.


See you next year cowboys and cowgirls!
