My sweet little cowgirls. We were headed to the barn first thing in the morning to feed the goats, horses and then ride!..........well after a phoot shoot:)

In the Alleyway of our barn. Charleigh 4 and Adalyn 16 months, both growing up too fast!

Charleigh made it to her first rodeo finals at age four! She is sitting 11th place in her age division and will run twice this coming weekend. She is so excited! I am so proud of her, she is such a little cowgirl! St Clair, MO July 2010

Charleigh Cadence Ferrell

My sweet Charleigh is 4 1/2 ! Where did the time go? She is so funny. Yesterday Ben took her over to Grand Grams and Grandma asked George to put cartoons on for Charleigh. Ben told Charleigh" Boy you sure are spoiled" Charleigh turned and said " What? She said it, not me". She is making the American Family Rodeo finals in barrel racing! She loves it. She always wants to watch barrel racing videos on you tube. She goes to preschool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and she can count to 20 with ease and can spell and write her name. She is coloring in the lines like a champ and loves to show us everything she does each day at school. She says she wants to be a "bet" (vet) a teacher, astronaut, cowgirl, and a dump truck driver. (she says I can go with her to open all of the gates for her) She is the best big sister. and I am not just saying that, she really does take care of her sister. Ada fell off her trike today while I was mowing and I saw Charleigh rush over to her and pick her up and brush her off and hug her and by the time I got to her Charleigh was talking to her in a sweet high voice saying "ohh poor girl, you be okay. " I love to see them together, Adalyn watching Charleigh so closely and wanting to do everything she does and Charleigh not even noticing how much Ada looks up to her. Charleigh plays so good with her and is super patient. We have two great girls and we couldn't be happier.

SHe was all smiles even with pneumonia!

Mendon rodeo.

In her sister's hat, she really thinks she is something.

The best kind of trouble.

So full of life and love.

Adalyn Ferrell

Oh my sweet little Adalyn. She is 16 months now and has SO MUCH PERSONALITY! She says hi to just about everyone she sees. She is gabbering so much and says so many words now, most common are Dada, Momma, bye-bye, Hi, Thank you, More, Drink, Love you, Please, Lacy, Grandpa, Grandma. She says them but sometimes they still need translating. She picks up her toys and puts them where they go when asked. She picks up and puts her trash in the trash can. She gives kisses and hugs all of the time. When we say "I love you" she gives kisses. She always makes the mmmmmmm mmmaaaa noise with them as well ( I love it) She can run like a little rocket and she can go for long periods of time without tiring. She loves riding horses, but she does not want to sit still and talk, she wants to ride or get off the horse. She will sit and watch things on the T.V now, she likes watching bullriding and horses and the backyardagins (only very short periods). She is such a joy and such a stinker. Her and Charleigh make me so very happy. Everyday I get to hear them, see them, hold them is a great day. I can't imagine my life any other way.

Charleigh had a lemonade stand at Ferrell's sale. She made $30.00. She is still saving for a tractor. I thought by now she would have changed her mind, but she hasn't.

Deuce went with us and was such a good little boy. I thought him with this huge bone was funny.

One afternoon came a down pour, so we helped back up the sale and then headed out to the river. Charleigh had a great time.

It was a beautiful night and Charleigh did so good. The crowd went crazy for her. (as soon as we find the cord to the video camera we will post it)

This is right after she ran barrels, he calms down just like that. The moon was amazing and Charleigh noticed it right away. She has always noticed the moon, since she was itty bity. She will always say "Wook at the Moon Momma, it is so bootafull"
