Houston Rodeo Take 1

Saturday we took a little family trip to the Houston Rodeo. We didn't actually go to the rodeo and concert, we just went to the livestock show and walked around the carnival. This is Kaden & I when we first got to the Rodeo. As you can see, he's already pulling off his hat, and he's looking at us like "you're crazy if you think I'm wearing this all day!!"
While we were looking at all the animals, we ran into my brother & his friend Dana. They were headed to the rodeo and concert, but hung out with us for a few minutes. 
 Kaden LOVED seeing & petting the animals. One lady let us stop and pet her pig. 
 He was "talking" and yelling at the pig (and all the animals) the whole time. 

 Kaden & daddy were watching the cow show. 
Is this not the cutest little cowboy you've ever seen??
 
Kaden loves riding on top of people's shoulders.  I think he likes to be high and able to see all around. He also loves his Uncle Ryan.
His favorite part, by far, was the petting zoo. We bought some food and let him feed the animals. He was so excited to touch them. 

 Good thing the animals are so good with kids. He was petting, hitting, yelling, so excited to see/play with them. 


 



We had so much fun at the rodeo. We had some great food! Walked through all the exhibits. And loved watching our little guy have so much fun. I love that he's able to interact and participate more these days. I know we have some very exciting and fun days ahead!!

The Zoo

Yesterday, my friend Melanie & I took our sweet boys to the zoo. We've been patiently waiting until we thought they were old enough to "enjoy" it, and I think we did good. Not that the boys knew exactly what was going on, but I think we all had a good time. 
 Meet Melanie & sweet Carson. Carson is almost exactly 3 months older than Kaden. Melanie & I taught 4th grade together for 4 years. We both quit to stay home with our little guys. We're loving watching our boys grow together!!
 The boys loved crawling all over the giraffe. 
 Chilling with the goats in the petting zoo.


 I think the mommies had more fun looking at the animals. The boys weren't too impressed just yet.
 That monkey in the back was posing for us!
 I love these boys, and love that Kaden already has a BFF to grow up with.
We love our play dates with Melanie & Carson, and look forward to many more zoo days together!!!

Kaden's First Rodeo

Before I start, is this not the cutest pic of my sister & Kaden. It was just before her track meet...that she kicked butt at!!! 4 medals...2 first place & 2 third place. 

OK, on to the main part of my blog. Kaden & I chaperoned another field trip with my mom's class. The Houston Rodeo is in town, and she took her kids to the livestock show. We walked around to see all the animals, went to the petting zoo, ate some good food, and had a great time!


Kaden loved the petting zoo. He'd pet an animal to it ran off. Then he'd yell until we found another one for him to pet. 





We had such a good time with my mom and her class. We're going back 2 more times. Once with the whole family, and once with daddy.
