Summer Fun!

Last weekend we were invited to go to the Mesquite Rodeo with our neighbors. Okay, we have lived here for 10+ years and have never been. We had such a good time! The highlight was the "cowboy monkey", the little kids riding the sheep, the horse trailer races, and of course the bull riding... We will definately go again next year!So, Sunday is our "family day"...what does your family do on Sundays???? Since our kids "have" to play with each other they decided to make a grand fort! They had a radio, fan, and games in the fort. Each one of them had their own little area, and they had a great time playing with each other. They even slept in it that night. (In fact...the fort is still up!)I love Sundays and love to see the kids playing with each other and NOT watching tv!
My aunt, uncle and cousins from California were in town last weekend, so we had to show them a little of what Texas is all about...actually they were in the store buying a cowboy hat. Don't you love it when you see a large group of people running around a store, trying things on and taking pictures???? I'm sure the workers LOVE it! We had fun anyway!
Chase was invited to go to the Texas Rangers game! He was so excited!!! He had known he was going to be able to go, so he was counting down the days. It was so cute...on Monday - he woke up and said, "it's game day!" He had his baseball hats and glove ready to go! He LOVES that kind of stuff...thanks Uncle Dave for letting Chase tag along with you! Nothing could be better for a 7 year old boy than going to a baseball game!

my kids think I'm the meanest mom EVER because they can't play the wii on Sunday...imagine if I told them it was because they were supposed to be using their imaginations and playing together! I should let them see your post!
