Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's RODEO!

Saturday night, we went to a rodeo with the kids. They asked, "What's a rodeo?" and I said, "Don't tell Grandpa you asked me that...."

We were a little early for the rodeo, so we ate at Jake's Ribs (whatever image you have in your head right now is probably correct..), then went to the park. Jenna took this photo:

They rode a horse, chased calves in the arena, and contemplated whether or not Wyatt is ready for Mutton Busting. (Wyatt and I think yes...Aaron was shocked that I would let Wyatt do something dangerous, for once. I told him falling off a sheep in a dirt arena is not dangerous....)

Aaron was a complete Tour-On (that's a combo between a tourist and a moron...) and videoed every moment, included the bareback riding event.

As we were leaving, Wyatt said, "Dad, when we get home, can we play bucking bull and you be the bull?" Ahhhh, a new sport for Aaron.

Postlude: On Sunday morning while I was out running, a game of Bucking Bull did ensue in the living room. Guess who got hurt? Not the cowgirl or cowboy....the bull. But that's another post altogether.

In my ongoing attempt to win the Mom-Of-The-Award, I put the ladder in our backyard so Wyatt can watch all the earthmovers that have begun construction on the new school. The tractors are so close that they wave over the fence to us as they drive by. It's mind-numbing for me, but he can stand there for hours!
He just came in and informed that it looks like they are doing things correctly back there, so that's good...

Fathers Day, Part 2

Forgot to add the Famous Curry Family "Cha-Cha Slide" starring Aaron's dad, sister and niece....I sat this one out....

And my handsome boys:

Wyatt wore his tie to church and was a door greeter with Aaron...he was so proud of himself!

Happy Father's Day

For all you manly men out there, I say Happy Father's Day to You!

My sweet hubby spent the day doing the one thing fathers love: getting his hair done by his little girl:

She went to a fabulous b-day party on Sat. and got her hair and nails done. Apparently, she has found her calling becuase I found this note on her bedroom door today:

After Aaron's got his cut and color, we went to the Curry's for some fierce lawn games and swimming:

Ready for A Meeting at the Chapter House....

Today, my grandma sent a birthday gift for Wyatt, including a shirt and tie. he was so excited to put it on and be "just like daddy!" I grabbed two blazers from his closet, and he chose the nicer of the two (good taste, I see). He put it on over his shirt and tie (Jenna was trying to help him clip it on...) and said, "Now I'm ready to go to work. Oh, I need pants."

I Guess We'll Hear It

On Thursday, there were trucks parked in the open lot behind our house all day, and we could see men working. They are supposed to be breaking ground on a new elementary school, so we figured it was the beginning.
I stupid told the kids they were building the school, and all day Wyatt kept saying, "Is the school done yet?"

So at 5, we went to the gym, and when we came home, we found this right outside our fence.

It's Moore, OK newest tornado siren. Not sure yet if it will help or hurt our property value, but we really don't have a choice in the matter. And it we ever need it, we'll be ever so glad it's there.

Happy Birthday to Wyatt!

Today is Wyatt's 4th birthday! I thought all of you in my family would especially appreciate this great photo i took, COMPLETELY UNCOACHED!

He had 5 little friends over, and the kids ran in sprinkler, threw water balloons, and ate lots of junk. A good time was had by all!
He also upgraded to the new booster seat, which means he can buckle himself in, and switching cars is very easy now. The new car seat also has a reading light attached to the headrest, for those late-nite comic books....
