Here a neigh, there a neigh

Saturday night we went to the Ranch Rodeo in Sweetwater. Ethan loved it! He watched his Uncle Slim (#86) ride his horse Shark and compete in several events. For those of you who may not know, a ranch rodeo has events that are an actual part of everyday ranch life. The ranches compete as teams in events like milking, sorting, branding and doctoring. There is also a CUTE event called mutton bustin' where little kids ride a sheep as far as they can. Aunt Shelley promised she would coach Ethan when he gets bigger, so we might have a rodeo star on our hands! At least Ethan had the proper attire, he wore his horse onesie with a tail, and socks to match.

How many babies can say they have been to a rock concert and a rodeo, all before being 3 months old?

Check My Brain

Last weekend and the beginning part of this week, my mother came to town. She didn't come to see us, but she did come to visit her grandchild. I now realize how important I am in the whole scheme of things. I guess I'm fine with it. We spent the whole day on Saturday at Granny's house. It was good to sit around and do nothing for a change. Sunday was more of the same. I did work for a little while on Monday, which was fine. I got paid overtime for doing very little. That night we all went out for Chinese food, and then we left Ethan with Granny and Mom while we went to see a movie. Apparently he was crying the majority of the time, but I wasn't bothered by it--I was at the movies! I did feel a little bad for them, but they both insisted that he wasn't that much trouble. I feel pretty confident that they would watch him again. It was nice to get out for a couple of hours anyway. I guess that's the extent of my news this week. Ethan has a doctor's appointment next Wednesday. They will be giving him his first round of shots, which I know he is looking forward to. I'll let you know how that goes.
