Cowboy UP!



We traveled down to Houston to spend a couple of days with some of Mat's family and to go to the Houston Rodeo. As always we had a fantastic time! The boys were so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa and then Uncle Jason came followed by Aunt Kelli with Clara and Sylvia. What a party! Unfortunately it rained a lot of the weekend but we still had a great time. The boys loved the livestock show and then we took D to the Rodeo and concert which he thought was fabulous. He had been using a belt as a "lasso" for a couple of months so we found him a real lasso and both the boys got hats so they could now be "real" cowboys. They were adorable! It was a great weekend and so fun to spend time with everyone.

Derek with Grandma and Grandpa waiting for a table at Chuy's...it was delicious!

Uncle Jason teaching D "Hook Em Horns"
D with his special cupcake Grandma made (we each had one), unfortunately my boys kept bumping them and messed up a lot of the faces.

D working it with his "lasso"

More Hook em Horns...at least an attempt! The boys loved playing with Uncle Jas.

Two handsome cowboys with one hot Grandma!
Love this stud, D here with his real lasso!
Will (with Mom) looking so cute in his cowboy hat!

What a babe. Will with his hat after a bath.

Dad and D leaving the rodeo

Derek did not want to let go of his lasso for anything, he held onto it the whole ride home (12 hours).

Will, loving on Sylvia.
