Ro-day-oh

Well, I may never make it back to blogging multiple times a week again, but I am going to try to get back to doing it more often than once every 5 weeks ;-) Anyhoo, two weeks ago we packed up the kiddos and Memaw and headed off to Rodeo Houston. Lizzie rode a pony for the first time....

and LOVED it! She has started doing this thing where when she really enjoys something, she will sometimes try to suppress her smile so that you won't know how much she loves it. I don't think she has any idea how obvious it is when she is doing this.. but I'll cut her some slack since she comes by it honestly ;-)

She would be beaming the whole way around until she got to the place where I had the camera up. Then she'd try to stuff it down... silly girl~

Our new youth pastor is not a native Texan, so we decided to indoctrinate his wife and baby girl into our rodeo fan club-

Lizzie checking out the ginormous bunny rabbit....

She was SO into the guinea pigs...

Sweet Della was a trooper even with no real nap all day...

Micah had a lot of fun in the petting zoo, as long as the animals were the size of this goat or smaller. If a bigger one approached him it was NOT COOL!

Country style hand washing station...

Sweet baby Jane...

Lizzie once again not wanting to admit that she was having fun...

Petting a sheep with Memaw...

I just love Della's face here...

Um, yup... that's Lizzie.

I think these were the closest seats we'd ever had.. we were definitely right in the action!
