Stagecoaches, Hogskins & the Rodeo

What a busy day we had on Saturday. We started out going to Chidester to the Stagecoach Festival to listen to Brandon's used to be boss speak at a political speaking they had there. They had ponies there to ride and of course Austin had to ride on one. He loved every second of it and would have rode more, but for $5 per ride, once is all he got!



After that we came home for a bit and then left out to Hampton for Hogskin Holidays and the rodeo. We stopped at the festival and let Austin ride some of the carnival rides and we looked around.

He only rode these ladybugs about 5 times. They were a big hit.


We only took one ride on the jeeps. The guy running this ride was extremely rude and hateful to some of the kiddos. Good thing he wasn't rude to mine, but we were standing right next to the fence and he knew it.







And down he comes!

Going to the rodeo was his favorite part of the day. That's all he talked about all day long. He kept asking if we were going to the rodeo. He absolutely loved it. Of course we had to stop and look at all the steers and calves in the pens. When the horses would come out of the chute he'd start hollering "Yee-haw. Ride 'em cowboy"! He was an absolute hoot.


Riding in the arena with Anna.



Showing off his new rope! Mamaw gave him "rodeo money" so this is what he spent it on!

Easter

Posing with his Easter eggs that we dyed!

Of course we had to take a little Diego break.

The Easter Bunny goodies!




Looking cool in his new Toy Story shades!

On the hunt for some eggs.

I found another one.
Going at full speed...we wouldn't want to miss any of those eggs.


Lookin' all cool in his shorts and boots! This is about as country as it comes.

His bucket is so full that they are falling out.

So we moved on to a bigger basket.

Whew! What a lot of work. Let me take a rest and we'll do it again.

Go Diego Go!! Austin's 3rd Birthday.

We had Austin's 3rd Birthday party on Saturday. I can't believe my baby boy is 3 years old already. Time sure does fly. Here are the pictures from the party!

Anna, Austin, Brittany & Bradyn

The Cake.

Blowing out the candle. Going for a 4 wheeler ride. As usual Austin is with the girls!
Bradyn wanted to ride all by himself.
And of course what's a party with out bringing the guns out!!
Look at that "I'm gonna get you" face.

Silly boy!

AnnaGetting ready to knock Diego out.Anna had to get into position. By this time Lexie had already took the head off the pinata, but they all wanted to keep hitting it. So Brandon hung it back up and they went again. Of course we have to get in a sucker in there somewhere.And after a big day my little "Woody" was wore out. He laid down on the floor and went to sleep.
A good time was had by all and we can't wait to do it again next year.
