School Picture


This is the first of many school pictures to come. I love looking back at my old school pictures and I hope Cameron will have the same fond memories. She'll probably look back and say "Why did my mother make me wear that?"

Stockyard Station

Here they come!

Cameron and I spent some time with Hannah and her mom down at the stockyards. We've lived in Fort Worth for 5 years now and have yet to go down there when they are actually moving the cattle through the streets. Our experience started as we took a shortcut through the alley behind Billy Bob's to get to E. Exchange. The whole time we're dodging cow patties and trying to not get run over by the beer trucks making their daily deliveries. As we almost make it to where we need to be, we come to a road block because there are cattle trailors unloading the bulls used for the rodeo. She was pumped. She wanted to get closer so we could see them come out of the trailor. Cameron got the full experience by riding a sad old pony, but she thought it was great. Just glad she didn't ask for one for her birthday. I was so proud of her, no not for riding the horse, but for yelling "saw 'em off" when I told her how the longhorn cattle would come down the street like a real cattle drive. I want to take her back some evening for the rodeo.
