The Rodeo

{don't ya love this picture! I love how he is looking in a totally different direction!!}
Ok...for those of you that know Ty he has such a way with words...sometimes the things that come out of his mouth make you think you are talking to a grown man not a 7 yr. old boy! He has quite the sense of humor too. So on Friday night we went to the Katy Rodeo. We had a blast...the kids loved it and I can't wait for next year! It's gonna be a new family tradition to attend the rodeo! Anyway...as we were leaving the kids stopped to look at some of the animals...mostly the cows they were close by. Kyler was mooing at them, Kailee and Austin were looking, and then I hear Ty talking, with no one else around so I walked a little closer and Ty says...to the cow..."I wonder how many hamburgers I could make out of you?" I about fell over! He wasn't even trying to be that funny...just actually wondering! So if anyone happens to know...Ty would love the answer!
Here are a few pictures of Kyler from the rodeo. You can buy a stickhorse and then be in the stickhorse races. They just let the kids run...it's pretty cute. Kyler decided he wanted to do that so...let me set the scene. Shawn is out of town, I am by myself at the rodeo...I tell the other 3 kids, don't go anywhere we will be right back, watch for us. I cannot fit into tennis shoes yet {foot still to swollen for them to be comfortable}, so I am wearing flip-flops! I know who wears flip-flops to the rodeo?...in February? {oh yeah it was about 45-50 degrees outside} BUT Kyler really wants to race so being the wonderful mom I am {I deserve a medal} I tromped out in the arena...up to my ankles in mud and whatever else the animals happened to leave behind so that Kyler can race his "horse"! He ran hard and guess what he won!!! Well, all the kids won! But Kyler thinks he won cuz he got a ribbon for participating and he didn't see any of the other kids get theirs...so as far as Kyler is concerned, and us too for that matter...Kyler won!!! After it was over we made our way to the bathroom so that I could wash a little of the mud {I would like to think it was just mud} off in the freezing cold water. The rodeo was fun...the kids also enjoyed watching the Mutton Bustin'...a little girl from our ward won! It was awesome!
