4 Acres and A Chick: Back in the Saddle...

Well I have not written much in the past week because I was out of town celebrating my nephew, Dusty's, 10th birthday. What a great time we had!!
It first started on Friday with me picking him and his brother up from school for lunch. They begged my all the way to Babe's Chicken to NOT take them back to school. They used every excuse in the book.

Little did they know my mom and I already had plans to take them to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo that afternoon. When they finally figured it out they were speechless. It was so cute. So after some good old fashioned horse bare back riding, calf roping, buggy races, barrel races, and BULLS the real show stopper arrived!!!

YES, that is a Monkey, riding a dog, herding sheep!! It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. That monkey was flopping around so hard that half the time it looked like he was going to fly right off that dog.

Here are a few more of my favorite shots from the Rodeo.

The crowd's faces are hilarious

And... he's off.

Not much is staying on this bull!

And what better way to end a BIRTHDAY BASH weekend than at the Skating Rink!!! What a BLAST that was...even us "OLD" people donned a pair of skates. Some choose in-line while others went "vintage" with regular roller skates. I really wanted to go vintage but I didn't want a broken arm by the end of the day!!

Birthday Boy!

Noah ditched the kiddie bar by the end of the day

These two ladies (my mom and my aunt) must have spent their fair share of time at the rink back in the day... backwards, forwards, pairs, you name it they can do it. All you young punks stand back and take a lesson!!!
