Rodeo Weekend @ RPC 2013

 

Every year RPC puts on their own little Rodeo Weekend to kick of the season.

Only in Texas will a church play "rodeo" worship music, dress in cowboy attire and have events for the kids throughout the campus.

Colin and Ava LOVE the rodeo, animals and being cowboys and cowgirls!

 

We arrived early so they could play and go to the petting zoo before service.

 

 

 

 

I'm sure this one will make into Colin's senior or wedding slide show...so funny, yet so cute!

 

It's a Sunday ritual that they run down the ECB ramp...about 10 times each!

 

We could stay in the petting zoo for hours...

There were 4 different ones and visited them all!

 

 

The bunny liked Colin's new boots.

 

 

Colin asked if they could take a picture on the rock! He's learning ;)

 

Willetts' family 4.5...little did we know Ella would be here 2 days later!

 

After service, Larry the Cowboy was giving roping lessons.

 

OOPS!

 

One more go-around on the buckin' sheep! Yee Haw!

curtain of hearts 2013

Last year we started our Curtain of Hearts tradition.

During the first weekend of Februaruay, Colin asked me if we were gong to make "that hanging heart thing" again. HA. He enjoys art projects and creating special thigns for our family and home. I cut several hearts and they were written on in no time. Colin's first heart was for Ava, he showed her and she said "Hey, that's Ava Rose". Then Ava worte one for "her borther" too!

 

 

Our list of love for 2013 is very simlar to last year's. We added, Ms. Maruri, Ella, and Aiden and Cooper.

 

After dinner and there baths, we found a place to show our love. Colin was a big help in taping and hanging up the Curtain of Hearts.

 

They are always giving each other hugs and kisses! Even when there isn't a camera around.

Sending all sizes of Love and Sweetness!!!!

baked with love (and LOTS of SUGAR)

The kids loving cooking with Mommy, especially when it involves cookies!

We baked Valentine's Sugar Cookies with EXTRA love and SUGAR!

 

 

They requested Pink and Red frosting.

 

Ava taste tested every cookie she decorated.

 

Colin was doing good with the sprinkles but I looked away for like a second and then there was a MOUNTAIN of them!

 

 

Not sure if these are edible or not...

 

A few days later, we baked some pre-cut sugar cookies.

 

Happy Valentine's from my sweeties to yours!
