National Western Stock Show - 2012

Time once again for my second favorite thing to celebrate in January - the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. Last year we left Dillon at home, but we knew he had to attend this year, and he loved it!


Notice the awesome picture taking skills - the cow is completely sticking his tongue out at me!

Checking out the horses before we even got inside!




Payson brought along a stuffed horse, and he had a blast walking through all of the exhibits.

Honestly, we could of sat on the tractors all day!

This is just crazy to me, but Payson loved riding the horse around and around!

Todd and I hope that someday this will be Payson's college of choice!

The most exciting part of Payson's day was that we happened to be at the stock show when a Children's Stick Horse Rodeo was taking place. Payson was awesome, he was so excited to get dressed up and got right in the arena with all of the pretty Rodeo Queens. It was a random draw on what event you were placed in, but Payson was placed in the calf roping and he did great!
Dillon and Todd were trying to be true cowboys and balance on the arena fence!

Payson waiting patiently for his turn after the Presenting of the Flags and the National Anthem.

Doesn't he look like a REAL cowboy?








Dillon has started adding animal sounds - but Mooing is still one of his favorites!


Dillon was excited for dinner, and Payson's request was that we ate dinner with cowboys!

We walked a lot of ground at the Stock Show, but we had a great time!

They will truly sell anything - Deep Fried Corn on the Cob????

See what I mean, we honestly sat on every tractor in the building!



Payson was truly amazed by all of the cowboys during the rodeo.

Me and my cowboys!



The sign of a great day....
