"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Rodeo Time!

We finally made it to the Houston Rodeo. After four years of living here we have never made the trip downtown to see it. I'm so glad we did. Our kids had a blast and we had fun too! It was a great day I have to say! (not sure why this is underlined)
Part of the crew (in the petting zoo)
My little friend! He (or she) was so adorable. It kept jumping on my lap.

A pile of Piggies. There was a bunch of Mamma pigs that had just had piglets in the past day or so and there were a couple more who were expecting within the next couple days. They were so so so so cute!! I want one! Carly kept calling them "Wilburs"


Sam LOVED the petting zoo. He kept trying to pick everything up. He was not afraid of anything!



Carly loved the Llama. She was also not afraid of anything. Me...on the other hand...i was just trying not to get spit on by the llama.


Carly was big enough to go by herself! She had so much fun!



One of the rides. They LOVED it!

That looks like a lot of fun we will have to plan a trip at that time next year. That would be fun.

Oh, the little "Wilburs" look so cute! Are they soft? They look soft, but pigs aren't usually, I've always wondered...

I want a baby piggy! Ok- not really but they are SO cute!

They didn't let us pet them, but Carly wanted to hold one so bad!!
Des- someday we'll get one and you can come visit!

How fun!
Your kids are brave for sure!
Why didn't you bring home a "Wilbur" for Carly?
