Hey Ya'll!

 

Ken and I went to the rodeo again, this time not to see a show but to look at animals, crazy/interesting shops, and eat yummy food.

 

 

We also took pictures on a bull. This is the second time we have done this and I always love the pictures.

 

The Houston Rodeo is one of my favorite times of the year and this year was no different. Even though I love it so much, it does make me laugh at the things you only find at events like this. I also play a part in this - notice the large belt buckle I'm rocking?

 

Some interesting things we have seen the part few years:

• Fried Bacon (way to salty)
• Mason Jar Wine Glasses (well mason jar everything)
• Giant Cinnamon Rolls with Bacon (Weird, but kinda works)
• Fried Oreos (or all desserts - Ice Cream, Nutter Butters, Snickers...etc)
• Cowhide everything (I have to be honest, I like cowhide. I have a cowhide rug and while we were watching the rodeo the week before I actually said "that calf would make a beautiful rug" and then I realized that I am the Cruella Deville of cows. #sorryimnotsorry?)
• Signs that say things like - "If you ain't God or George Strait, Take off Your Boots" or "This House is Protected by God and the Second Amendment"
• And so much more

Florida Georgia Line at Houston Rodeo

Hey Ya'll!

Every year Ken and I attend the Houston Rodeo a couple times. We love it. From the cattle roping to the food to the concerts, we love it all. We went last week and saw Jason Aldean and even though I felt like I had the start of a cold, I am so happy we went. He was an amazing performer! But, since I didn't feel well, I didn't take many photos.

 

Last night we went to see Florida Georgia Line. I didn't know all of their music, but they were great.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday. :)

This is the Caff Scramble, where high school students who are in FFA chase Caffs in the hope of catching one in order to win money to raise an animal in their upcoming year. I love this part, but for some reason the caffs were very aggressive last night and stepped on several of the kids who had the get helped out of the arena. I've never seen that before.

 



This is another favorite event of mine called Mutton Bustin'. It is were kids (around ages 4-6) are put on a sheep and hold on for their lives as they ride the sheep for as long as they can. Its a little weird, but adorable.

Top 5: Spring

Hey Ya'll!

 

Spring is finally starting to show up which makes me oh so happy!

Here are my Top 5 favorite things about Spring!

 

The Beach

The weather is finally starting to warm up which means it is now time to head down to the beach and spend some time in the sun!

 

 Wedding Season

Since I work in the wedding industry, every season sort of feels like wedding season, but Spring tends to be the most popular and this year I have two wonderful friends that are getting married two weeks apart and I couldn't be happier for either of them! :)

 

 Birthdays

Ken and I's Birthday's are 9 days (and two years) apart, so Spring has lots of birthday celebrations for us.

 

 Sunshine

I love sunshine (who doesn't?!) and I'm so happy when it finally comes out and the gray skies go away!

 

Houston Rodeo

Houston Rodeo takes place for 3 weeks in March and it is quite possibly my most favorite event to go to during the year. Ken and I are attending two shows (Jason Aldean - we saw last week and he was awesome, and Florida Georgia Line next week). Plus we plan on going another day to look at all of the live stock and shopping.

 

Those are my top 5 favorite things about Spring...what are yours?
