Rodeo Houston and MORE birthday

My aunt and uncle have season tickets to the Houston Stockshow and Rodeo.  We thought this year would be the perfect year to take Sterling to the rodeo for the first time.  Before the rodeo we went over to the livestock area where they had tons of animals, a petting zoo AND he even got to ride a pony.  This was the highlight of his trip.  That smile says it all....

These baby chicks were so much fun!  These were a few days old and they had another area with some that were hatching out of their eggs.

Wade and Sterling waiting for the pony ride!

This was his face when they put him on the pony, he told me later he loved that man!  He was so excited about getting to ride this pony....excuse me, horse.  If you say it was a pony he will correct you!

We had seats right in front of the bucking chutes so we didn't miss out on any of the action!

On Sunday, before we left, all of my aunts and uncles and cousins came over to celebrate Hudson’s birthday.  My aunt totally outdid herself on the decorations and went with a western theme in honor of the RODEO!

 Sterling greeted everyone with, "Give me all your money!"

There was a stick horse on the back of every chair at the kid's table

Cousin Brody let us borrow his cowboy hat for just a second, Hudson thought it was pretty cool!

and I think he looked pretty cute :)

and MORE cake!

 

What a great and memorable weekend!
