A Lil' Rodeo ~ Then and Now

Brogan and Teddi both participated last year in their Pre-K class rodeo. It was the sweetest thing, with barrel racing (stick horse style), horse shoe tossing (of the plastic variety), and wild bronc riding--again, the wild bronco being a stick horse--which if you are Teddi, comes very close to a wild bronc!

Due to the busyness of life last spring . . . birthdays, bridal showers, wedding planning . . . I never got the rodeo post finished. Before I knew it rodeo time rolled around again--this time just for Teddi, as Brogan moved on to Kindergarten this year.

I thought I would go ahead and combine the two rodeos into one fun post, so that Grinner could have his chance in the spotlight too . . .

My little buckaroos!

Remember Teddi's big green goose egg, from her little collision

with the stucco wall? She was sportin' it for the rodeo!

My little bird was so little.

Texas and beans . . . they just kinda go together.

Teddi's cacti . . .

and cowboy boots with blue bonnets.

That was then . . . and this is now!

Teddi and Sam, is he a cute cowboy, or what?

We were blessed to have Sam move in

right next door about the same time school started!

Can you tell they are buds?

Grinner joins in for a shot.

Sweetness times three!

My silly little bird . . .

she looks to be singing "Home, home on the range".

Flit flitting . . .

where did ya go Flit?

The sweetest little Chinese Texan! I love that girl!

I have to brag on God for providing the sweet cowgirl

outfit, half price at the thrift store after Halloween --

and thank Grinner for the boots.

A final video -- Ted barrel racing, in a technique all her own . . .
