Bring'em Home Cowgirl

This is Charleigh at the Warrenton rodeo on July 8th 2010. She was so excited so many people came to watch her, she was talking about it for weeks prior and will probably be talking about it for weeks to come. She asked her Grandpa "Grandpa, are you gonna come watch me run barrels?

Grandpa "Uh-huh"

Charleigh" Will you say "Go Charleigh?" "

Grandpa "Yep"

Charleigh "Will you say" Bring her home Cowgirl"?"

Grandpa "Uh-huh.....

She really wanted everyone to notice her fringe on her shirt flying behind her as she ran. Outlaw Rodeo Company let her run exhibition and Mark Ficken, the announcer, announced her as the winner. He really talked her up and told everyone that she was 4 and she was a cowgirl. Everyone was super nice to Charleigh and made her feel so special. She had a big crowd of fans there to cheer her on as well. You can kinda hear the crowd going crazy for her on the video, when she comes running out. When she goes around the 3rd barrel she always wants us to yell "Bring'em home Cowgirl." As she came out of the arena her smile was priceless, and she looked at me and said "Mom, you yell for me?"

God Bless America

Charleigh was so happy she got to carry the flag inthe parade, now she wants to carry the flag in the rodeo. At the Outlaw show their flag has fireworks that stream out the top on the flag pole. Now Charleigh REALLY WANTS TO DO THAT. baby steps......

Charleigh carried this flag through the entire parade! She did awesome, so did Scooter and Pete. She had so many people commenting on how little she was. A couple people even asked how old she was, and when she said four, they were suprised. They all told her she was such a good rider. She would grin form ear to ear and say "Hank you."

Talk about making your heart swell..... She is such a little cowgirl she makes us so proud.

Clementine and Charleigh were super excited about putting glitter on their horses. it was the highlight for Clementine. She must have asked us 50 times about getting the glitter on her Palamino. It was funny when she got off and Ben rode the horse covered in glitter through the parade alone. (Even funnier cause I didn't have any on Pete, just Benny and Charleigh.)

Ben had Clementine on with him but she fell asleep before the parade started. She looked very uncomfortable and everyone we went by commented on her sleeping. When we saw Uncle Alan we handed her off and she woke up, but she wasn't to sure she wanted to get back on when we asked. It was a good thing because Ben's tooth was infected and he was in some major pain, the next morning it looked like he had a softball in his cheek (no joke) he was super uncomfortable and I had to work! Grand Gram, Grandma, and Grandpa were at a funeral and Ferrell and Grandaddy were in Mississippi, or as Charleigh calls it "Sippi" I got a girl from work who always helps me out to come in so I could go home and help Ben. I got home and he was laying in bed with Ada and Charleigh playing in the bed making a tent with the covers. Charleigh waqs Daddy's little helper and watched her sister until Momma could get home.

Notice Ada has a sucker in her hand and is still reaching for more candy.
Have you ever seen that sign that says "A Balanced Diet is Having A Cookie in Each Hand." ? Well she takes it to heart, if you get her food you better have enough for both hands or she just isn't happy. She will throw herself a " Ben Ferrell Fit" and they are always dooseys. She does it up right, just like her daddy, if you are going to throw a fit, might as well throw a good'n.

Charity and Rick drove an hour to watch the girls in the parade. By the time we got to them we no longer had their kid. Opps, maybe next year.

Horse, Horses, Horses....

Ben and Charleigh going for a ride this spring. Ben is on April, one of the horses we trained for someone and Charleigh is on Scooter (of course)

We decided to give Scooter a break since he was getting riden everyday sometimes twice a day so on this paticular day Charleigh rode Pete. He is such a big horse, 16 hands or close to it and he is a big old puppy dog.

Mother Hen..

Clementine is always being Adalyn's little mommy, she is so sweet and gentle with her and is always right with her when she is around.



These pictures are a month old, but still cute. I am experiencing some technical difficulties with my pictures from vacation, I am unable to upload them onto my computer so after a long delay in the blog update you must settle for these pictures until I am able to get the others. We have been busier than ever this summer. With the new place to keep up with, and two busy girls and our own schedules we have had little time for anything modern. Charleigh has had 3 rodeos so far and isn't tiring of them yet. The parade is this weekend and we will have to ride in it. Charleigh wants to carry a big flag this year so she has been practicing. We will get back to you on if our nerves can handle it later.

Memorial Weekend 2010

Grandma and her youngest grandbabies!

Grand Gram and July and Grandma with Adalyn over memorial weekend.

Charity and July on Memorial day weekend.

Ada and July playing on a blanket in the shade, it has been unseasonably hot so far this year, but we are loving it! Ada is so funny with July. Anytime someone is holding him she wants them to hold her. If July gets passed off, then Ada wants to go too. It is almost like she wants to be near him, it doesn't matter who is holding him, she wants to be held too.

My sweet little Adalyn. One year old in these pictures. Weighing in at 22 lbs, and getting wilder as the days go by.

So much fun when they can all be together!

Ada askes the girls "Can I come in and play?" after all it is her toy.

Bouncing around!

For Ada's birthday my Grandma got her this fun little bounce house. It can alsobe used as a fort when you turn it over. The girls just love it.
