Ride 'em cowboy!

On Sunday afternoon, we went to Hyleigh's 4th birthday party...and she had horse rides! I wasn't sure what Brody would think, but it didn't scare him one bit! He wanted on the horse as soon as they took her out of her trailor. Made me proud. We used to have horses growing up...and I would give anything for Brody (and me..hehe) to have a horse to saddle up and take for a ride. We used to have sooo much fun on ours. I can remember going on the trailrides. My Papa would always take his wagon, we would camp at night, forge the rivers...I felt just like Laura Ingalls! Okay, enough of that...here are the pics!

Our friends, the Gilmore's, were in El Dorado this weekend from New Orleans. The were having Christmas with James' family, but were able to come visit with us on Saturday night. James' mom had their kids, and we left Brody with Amie and Eli, and the four of us went to a nice, peaceful dinner at ElChico's. After dinner, we came back to our house, where our kiddos joined us! James and Jessica have the two most precious little boys, Jackson and Charlie. They are so adorable...I could just squeeze them! Brody looooved having friends over to play. He was so excited to have boys to run around and be silly with!

This is Jackson. He is so handsome. And he is a bit shy and a little serious....just the opposite of Brody and Charlie!

This is Charlie. I just looove his shiny locks...I am a bit jealous, I might add.

All three boys playing Brody's "Shoot the Duck" game with James. Can you tell that we DESPERATELY need a playroom.....

It has been waaay too long since I posted last! I always have such good intentions.....Anyway! We had a wonderful Christmas and happy new year, and I hope that all of you did too! It was crazy busy as always, trying to go to 10 different places in 2 days...but being around our wonderful family is worth it. And watching Brody's face this year was the best! I know that it is only going to get better...I just love this kid!

Seeing as how Christmas was like, a MONTH ago, I am just going to post a few pics from that week and give you a brief overview. And these pics are in no particular order....



Brody got a remote control boat from Amie and Eli. On Christas Eve we took it over to Dad's pond to try it out. Brody loved it!
