WE are officially through with Rodeo. It is over. Finished. Done. I'm glad. We are tired. It was fun. BUT, it is a lot of work and 2 days out of every 3 for 3 weeks will wear on you big time.
I really love volunteering for such a worthy organization. For the past 76 years the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has given over $235 million dollars in scholarships to students in Texas. It is wonderful to read stories and testimonies from the students. Check out the HLSR website http://www.hlsr.com/
My favorite shows were Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley tonight, Josh Turner, Keith Urban and Gary Allan. Gary Allan was probably my top. He put on an awesome performance! My parents were in town all last week for Spring Break. They joined us Tuesday night for the Keith Urban show. It was fun.
Shannon was home for Spring Break the week of the 9th. She went with us to several shows and it was great having her home though didn't get to spend much time with her! Matt was off last week and spent most of the week at our house which was awesome!
On the 15th Stephanie and Jimmy were in the 31st St. Patrick's Day parage on 1960. Shan took Kenzie and JD, along with my folks, Matt and my nephew Justin. They had a blast. Tim and I were working rodeo that day. Anyway, a photographer from the Chronicle was there and ended up taking a pic of Shan and Kenzie which ended up in the paper last week. Cuties!
Now, we are full gear into our cook-off this Friday and Saturday. It will be a crazy week but looking forward to it. Tim and a few guys here at work built a new pit which will feed about 1,500 people in one cooking. It is massive. Tim has been wanting one for some time and he finally got it. It should make this cook-off easier on the cooks. This year our theme is a Toga Party - should be fun. I'm sure I'll have lots of pics to post next week.
Well, mainly just checking in and letting you know we survived RODEO. Hopefully, we'll get through this week too!!!! I'm hangin' on for dear life!!!!!
