~My Little Rodeo Star!~

About 3 weeks ago, Hazen was in a little Rodeo out in Tooele. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law entered him in a few events. I wasn't able to go, which I was so bummed about, but I just couldn't risk taking Rhett out. But Ryan got lots of pictures and he videoed the whole thing. He is going to be in another one in a couple weeks. Hazen thought it was the greatest thing ever! He is still talking about it every day! He had to run the barrels on his stick horse, rope a cow, chase a goat and get a ribbon off of his tale, and he had to run the barrels on his pony, Taffy. He had a blast! He didn't win anything, but he had lots of fun. He has loved riding Taffy lately, and asks if he can go to Grandma's and ride her almost every day. It's so fun to see him riding with his daddy! Ryan has had a lot of fun teaching him to ride the pony. And he hasn't even gotten bucked off this year! :) Well anyways.... here are a few pictures!

Singing the National Anthem.... I love how he has his hat over his heart! What a cute boy!

It's been a lot of fun to have Rhett home and to be able to relax a little bit and not worry so much about work! I have enjoyed my time off. I have to go back to work in about 2 1/2 weeks now, so I am a little bummed :( Time goes by so fast! In another way, it will be nice to get back into the routine of things.
Hazen has been having fun playing at home and at the grandma's houses. He hasn't been a problem at all with Rhett-he loves him so much! He hasn't been jealous at all. I was a little worried that he wouldn't like him, or he would try to pick him up or something, but he has been so good with him! He is always wanting to help with him or hold him or something. It's cute to see the two of them together, Rhett absolutely LOVES his big brother! He just stares at him, and so far Hazen is the only one who has gotten him to smile. So cute!

Big eyes! I love his little hat!


He loves to sleep with his arms up by his face.

He loves his binki!
