1 years old! Happy Birthday Lucas! Love you Auntie and Uncle!

We loved you from the start.
So small and precious.
The first time I got to hold you.
Little feet!
He's already got some attitude.  I wonder where he gets that from.  It comes honestly it runs in the family.

I just wanted to share some of the many pictures I have taken of my nephew over the year.  We have missed so much by being away for the last few months.  He is now walking and running all over.  Wish we could have celebrated your birthday with you!  I hope you know how much we love and miss you.  We will see you this summer.  Try not to grow too much! 

San Antonio Rodeo!

Sexy and Sassy Cowgirls!!!  Only in Texas
King Ralph!!!  They had these amazing huge leather chairs!

I went to a rodeo!   I had never been before and wasn't really sure what to expect. Friends kept telling me I had to experience it while living in Texas so off to the rodeo we went. We had a great time with good friends.  We saw a lot of animals and went on a couple of rides and tried lots and lots of samples.  I want to go again and I just might!

More Rodeo Pictures!

The slide!  Not my friend!  
I think I might have broke something!  =)

This girl was so nice and stopped to let Kaylee meet her horse.
Thanks Kate!  I will always think of you and the Pickle guy!
Watching Barrel Races!
Those girls were fast!
The goats flocked to Kaylee.  One even tried to eat her dress.
Kate husband Matt has a car we have nicknamed the clown car so this is kind of fitting!  Can't wait to go for a ride in it!  Maybe this summer!!!

Pig Races!
More little pigs racing!
Baby piggies.

Can't have a party without Sharon!
Apple soda!  Still haven't decided if I like it or not.   Not this much that's for sure.
Friendly game of cards.

It was a beautiful day and evening to be out on the patio with friends.  Good food and friends what more do you need.

Kate and Matt know how to throw great parties!  We had a lot of fun!  The boys watched the game and the girls played games and talked.  The food was excellent as always and plenty of it!
