My Little Rodeo Princess

This last week was the Weatherford Rodeo. As every year, we went every night, Wednesday through Saturday. Also like last year, Claire rode Honey in the Kids' Grand Entry every night. She did wonderful. We weren't as successful with the goat scramble this year. We tried to get her to go with Daddy and Poppy but nothing was going to get her down there to get the ribbon of the goats tail... she said that the clown scares her... Hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Summer time craziness!!!

This is only my first ful week of summer and oh my word so much has gone on.....

1. Last Wednesday, my mom hit her hand on the wall at work carrying some boxes and she broke 2 bones in her hand. This in turn led to surgery on Friday. She is doing well and recovering, but having some trouble using only her left hand. Of course, she broke her right hand. CRAZY!!!!

2. Then my brother-in-law got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful outside wedding at Clark Gardens and all went well. Claire was a flower girl and did wonderful and looked beautiful. I will post some pics when I get some.

3. This Tuesday and Wednesday, Mom, Claire, Logan, Nana and I went to the Great Wolf Lodge. Jamey's family and my family gave this to mom for Mother's Day. We had a blast. A little altered since mom can't get her hand wet, but all went well. Very exhausting 2 days!!

4. At about 4:00 am on Thursday, my aunt called us and my cousin (who is due 3 days before me in August) was at the hospital and her water had broken!!! So we got up, threw on clothes and headed to the hospital. After all day, Bradley Clayton Bettis Jr. was born last night at 6:18 pm weighing in at 4 lbs 1 oz. He is beautiful (I have seen pics.) Whitney and Brad are also doing great!!! This was a little bit of a surprise, but he is great. He will have to stay in the NICU at Harris Southwest for a few weeks, but he will be wonderful!!! Whitney was able to get 2 sterois injections for Bradley's lungs before birth and so this is a huge help to him. I will keep you posted on his success!!!

5. Today we get to go pick up SUGAR (my miniature donkey)!!!!!! I am so excited. I have been waiting on bringing him home for months and today is the day. I am a little nervous for him to ride in the trailer by himself, but I think he will be okay. It's only a short ride from Stephenville to Millsap!!! I will send pics when we get him home today!!!!!

Anyways, this has been my life the last week and a half!!! I am ready for things to settle down, but that probably won't happen. Have a great weekend!!!!!!
