Stick-Horse Race Champion

We went to the Rodeo here in town and Jaden wanted to enter every event. He was able to do the Critter Chase and Stick-horse race, but they didn't have enough sheep for him to be in the mutton bustin. Thankfully he wasn't able to catch any of the rabbits or chickens in the critter chase because we wouldn't have know what to do with him.

He did great in the stick-horse race and came home with the winning buckle. (he is so proud of his new shiny buckle) Here's a video of his big event

This was half of the group then they had the winners of the two groups race.

Hilarious...well it was at the time

#1-I pulled out a package of hamburger so that I could portion it and freeze it. Jaden shouts, "Mom, is that brains? It sure looks like brains." Then about 5 minutes later, "It smells like brains. What color is our brains?"

#2-Jaden knew that I had received a birthday present in the mail for him and that he wasn't allowed to see because it was a surprise. Well a couple days ago he and a neighbor found a package before I did. He brought it into me and said, "Here, mom another birthday present came, but I didn't look at it."

1st clue of mischief- He said he didn't look at it.

2nd clue- How did he know it was a birthday present for him?

3rd clue- As I looked closer I could see that the larger packing tape that was once there had been removed.

4th clue- This box had unusually been wrapped with thin scotch tape.

5th clue- An additional piece had been added perpendicular to the other one that must've not been enough to hold up.

So I ask him again, "Are you sure you didn't look inside?" And you could see him start to sweat. Now Jaden you know how important it is to always tell me the truth and not lie, right?

Jaden with a big smile, "How did you know?" Me with a bigger smile, "Mom knows everything."

Our older neighbor girl had helped him open it and retape it. They both thought that I would never know.

#3- Kian woke up and went into the bathroom and came back with my deodorant. It was funny to watch him try and locate where his arm pit was. Next he went for his knees, toes and elbows.

Thanks boys for the laughs everyday. Life would be so dull without you.

Jaden and Kian

Will it ever end?

"This is taking forever, I'm going to go crazy!"

"Really, we have to take more pictures? Why me? Why.....?"

Where is Kian?

We couldn't find Kian anywhere, but when we finally did this is what he was doing.
