Stephanie at CRC & Rodeo with the Haye Family

We had a busy and wonderful weekend. Stephanie came to visit us at the farm! It was amazing to catch up with her. She brought her fiancé, Brandon, and he was really nice and we enjoyed getting to know him. We played card games and Stephanie stayed up way too late playing video games with Cadie and Ranger.

On Sunday afternoon, the kids and I met the Haye family at the Fort Worth Rodeo. They had invited us to their box courtesy of Austin's company and it was amazing. We had super close parking passes, amazing views from the box, and lots of complementary snacks and drinks. The kids hadn't been to a rodeo that they could remember so they weren't sure what to expect, but we all agreed it was a great time. My personal favorite from the afternoon was Wes crushing on Cadie and only wanting to sit in her lap.

Happy New Year's

We rang in the New Year with friends and family at CRC. It was a relaxed event with a Barbie the Movie, viewing, amazing fireworks, pizza on the grill on Grant's new pizza stone (Thanks Chapman's), and new this year - Karaoke and dancing in the shop. The kids especially loved the Karoke and they were doing songs ranging from country to veggie tails (Oh where is my hairbrush!).
