#hartzsb18 Rodeo

Wednesday: My cowboys ready for the Rodeo!

We got to the HLSR right when the exhibits opened to beat the crowds!

Lincoln was not sure about the petting zoo and a goat tried eating his shirt, but he did love the pony ride!

Baby piglets! 

Texas Fun!

Fun on the Farm!

Watching the Pig Races!

Excited for the Roller Coaster!

Winners, winners!

Lincoln gave his first Rodeo experience 5 stars and said he had a blast!

These boots were made for walking, but our feet sure were tired!

Life is better up on Papa's shoulders! 

Lots of memories were definitely made and I have two boys who want to go back next year and stay for the actual rodeo!

Lots of love for our big birthday boy!

Dear Jackson, 

Happy 9th birthday! We didn't know what to expect nine years ago, but you stole our hearts from the minute we held you! You are loving, competitive (maybe a bit too much), a perfectionist, smart, and determined to do your best. You continue to amaze us in all you do; swimming, school, creative idea, big brother! We pray you will grow in your relationship with the Lord and know He is ALL you need! I love you to infinity and beyond, bud!

Love, 

Mommy

Dr. Seuss Week

We celebrated Read Across America Week in my classroom all week with fun dress up days!

Brian made Lincoln and I shirts for Dr. Seuss' birthday on  Friday.

"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" 

That is the perfect quote for Lincoln!

Sweet girl who asked her mom to put our favorite class quote on a shirt for her!
