The Rodeo





We took the kids to see the rodeo today. They were excited to go! Drake kept saying "rodeo" and "horsees". He loves horses! We decided we would go thirty minutes before it started, good thing we live less
ten minutes from the center! We bought tickets when we got there, they were pretty nice seats...we were right on the end and no one else was in our row. Just how I like it! Took some pictures, didn't turn out too great...couldn't find the long lens before we left, but they are ok. There were two injures today. In the picture with the bull, when the guy was on the ground the bull stomped right on him, basically just like how he is in the pic, with his front legs going down on the guy. The guy got up, took a few steps and fell down. That bulls name is Tonka and he weighs 2000 pounds!! The guy was taken away in the ambulance. The other injury happened when another guy fell off and when he fell, he didn't get up. They ran over to him and the paramedics came and it was quiet. Then they announced he broke his leg and was taken away by ambulance also. Ouch, those were some painful moments!! I really enjoyed going and look forward to going next year. In other news, Drake had been a crab butt this past week, mainly because he didn't feel the greatest. He's feeling better now and that's a good thing! I will post some of his Chuck E Cheese pictures later. That's all for now!

Drake Turned 2!!

Last sunday, the 14th was Drake's second birthday! He's grown so much and is talking up a storm and loves to mimic what he hears! For his birthday we gave him two cupcakes with a candle on each one. Doesn't he look so sweet waiting to blow out his candles? He blew the first one out no problem, the second one took a few tries! Then it was present time. As soon as he saw the truck bag, he said "Open!" He got books, trucks, a nailer that looks just like Daddy's, some finger skateboards like big brother has, an Elmo that goes potty (hint hint), an Elmo bath toy and later we gave him a battery powered, ride on Bob the Builder truck that has a scoop and bucket on it. After the presents, we headed to Red Robin where he ate his favorite cheesy mac there. We took him to Playworld after we ate. At first he wanted to leave, but Daddy went through the tunnels with him (that's what Daddy's are for...ha ha), and he LOVED it and didn't want to leave when it came time to go. He had a great birthday and kept saying "Happy Birthday" all day. Too sweet! This sunday we are having his birthday party at good ole Chuck E Cheese. I'm just praying that there are not a ton of screaming kids there! I'll post some pictures. Well, that's all for now!
