Matthew's Birthday Fun






On Matthew's birthday, we went to Casey Il to celebrate Riley's 4th birthday. The kids had lots of fun swimming in his Grandma Carla's pool. We have a tradition of going to the rodeo every year for Matthew's birthday. This year was special because he always participates in the kids portion of chasing a baby cow and trying to pull off the ribbon for a prize. There are 3 calfs and around a hundred kids that chase them. This year he left his cowboy boots and hat at home so that he could run "faster" by golly, he got one of the ribbons. He had the rodeo clown Rudy sign his shirt and ribbon after it was over. He said that he was going to save the dirt in his shoes because it was "prescious" and would remind him of that night forever (and no, I didn't save the dirt :)

I'm going to have to say that Matthew is hilarious and I can definitely see him standing there telling the clown how the dirt was special. That's funny. :)
