Uncle Al the Kiddy's Pal...

Alan came to the bullriding Saturday night and hung out with us for a while.

Fun at the Bullriding...

Our friend Lance was pulling gates both nights, the 2nd night he bought gloves, I kept asking him to give me some "jazz hands" when he was out in the middle of the arena. This is the the only picture I got of him in the act.

He's number one!(well 11) but number 1 to us.

The opening ceremonies

Charleigh couldn't stop dancing to the music....

...... and shaking her hips.

She really gets into watching the bullriding.

Everyone cheering Ben on.

Pony Rides..

Grandpa took the girls down to ride the ponies at the bullriding.

Relaxing...

Clementine wants to be where ever her big cousin is.

When we were back in the room the girls played My Little Ponies, if Charleigh is playing with them she wants everyone to play.

Happy in Daddy's arms....

Ben's Cheering Section

We went to the Sedalia bullriding 2 weeks ago where Ben was riding.

Charleigh moved down to the stairs to get a closer look and cheer for her daddy. She would sing "go Dad ride a bull...go dad." He was 83 on his first bull and had to come straight up to his little girl and give her some kisses and take her down by the bulls for a while before getting ready for his next bull in the short go. She was wanting her Daddy all night long. He unfortunatly got bucked off his short go bull but Charleigh was still cheering "My Daddy won"

My lil' Drama Queen

Charleigh is such a Little actress.... she always lays it on extra thick. Two weeks ago we went to the park and it started freezing rain, we played a little longer then I told her it was time to go home she said she would be sad, and that she "Never gets to go to the park". She has been saying that anytime things do not go her way.... "but.. I'll be so sad, I never get to___________" I am really in for it.

OH CLEMENTINE......

She was making so many faces for me, I had to put all of the pictures of her up here. She is talking like crazy, a coupl e of weekends ago we were at Mom and Dad's and Clementine and Kyren were there. Charleigh and Clementine were playing with play-doh and Charleigh(the boss) told Clementine to sit down in her chair(as Charleigh was standing up in her own chair), Clementine sat down but she said "No Charleigh, you sit down!" Ahhhh me and my Dad were laughing so hard. I have to remind Charleigh to worry about herself and not boss everyone else around!
