Rewind

A lot has happened in Jace and Lexa's world since Mommy's last post. Allow her to rewind and get you all up to speed.

First, Aunt Erin came to town to enjoy a little Jace and Lexa time. Actually she came for the food but whatever.

Jace's hair was getting a smidge unruly...again. Mommy decided (with this new leaf she's working so hard to turn over on the budgeting front) why not try and give Jace a haircut herself. It actually turned into a tag team effort from her and Daddy but was still deemed a success!



After Jace had his locks looking proper again, there was no time like the present to enjoy the annual wing ding. If you've never been to a wing ding you're missing out. Picture yourself among like 10 vendors, each giving you wings and other yummy goodies. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Anyway, Lexa lusted over Mommy's wings (which she was surely going to get in 2-3 hours anyway) and posed for pictures with Erin.



After a restful night (sleeping off a wing coma) the whole crew headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for some rodeo action. Be advised that Lexa's rodeo outfits were something like 6 months in the making (yes, she is only 6-months old) so this was a big deal!

Of course Cowboy Jacer (as he named hiself) needed rodeo gear as well and what better place to get it than a local consignment shop.




Jace was having an identity crisis and went back and forth referring to himself as Cowboy Jace and Pablo.



Mommy had decided a while ago that the first annual Rodeo Stampede 5k sounded like a nice way to spend a Saturday morning. She, Fabulous Aunt Kay, and several others pounded the pavement in pretty decent time. Mommy finished in 25:54 which, although not her best time, did earn her 3rd place in her age group...she thinks. Of course Fabulously Fast Kay placed in her age group too...but she always does.

You can't go to a rodeo without a parade. And you can't have a parade without candy. And more candy. Jace was in candy heaven. As was Mommy.

Just so you know...her bow has boots on it to match her outfit....





There were a few kinks in the process of actually getting to the rodeo (like Mommy didn't) but don't let her bore you with the details. Jace enjoyed himself and that's always the goal.

Giddy up Cowgirl!







Since every weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's is obviously about fitting as many eating experiences as possible into as short amount of time as possible, it would only make sense to do more of the above on Sunday. This time in the form of a baby shower for Tracy and Baby Ashlan.

Lexa thought she was hot stuff hanging with the big girls



Speaking of big girls...check out who sat in a high chair for the first time



That was really off topic but Mommy had no place else to document this mini milestone that surely needs it's place in blogosphere history.

Back to the shower......

Daddy, Grandpa, and Jace were fishing during the shower but since Mommy is a camera hog there are no pictures to prove that Jace caught 8 fish!! Just this picture to prove Jace is a very scary dinosaur.
