Holy Moly!

Ella sure does take after her Daddy.

She wants to be a cowgirl in the worst way and tells me repeatedly that I, in fact, am not a cowgirl. (Apparently, since I don't have the standard issue Wranglers, I don't meet the criteria. Pretty on the mark, really.) She will wear her Wranglers on the hottest days just so she can be like Daddy. It was all really quite sweet and cute until the other night when she asked if she could pee standing up...

Ella has a friend her age, we'll call him Tough Cowboy, who wears Wranglers and is a bona-fide cowboy. We went and watched TC in his first kids rodeo a couple of weeks ago and had a ball. One of the events TC competed in was sheep riding and I was able to snap this pic of the ride:



Cowboys ride sheep

Looks like fun, right?! Ella Grace thinks so too. She is slated to ride her first sheep at the end of July. BTW: TC named this sheep Holy Moly, after a pro bull he saw once. Holy Moly is right!

Notice TC's mom in red? She's getting ready to have another TC any day now... Let's all send some sweet thoughts of oxytocin to mom!

Holy Moly looks awfully wild! Hang on TC!!
Too cute. Good luck to TC's mama with the coming birth of little TC.

Wow, I think I'm thrilled Emily wants to be a dancer. No way is Michael seeing this. :)
