Stampeding it up!!!!!

Well on a friday night what better to do that get all gussied up, put on your finest western wear, and go out and join the classy people of Nampa, Idaho for the Snake River Stampede (or at least that is what Cortney and I thought!) We even got VIP treatment with a free bbq before hand thanks to Randy Howard. This fun event is an annual event that lasts for an entire week. Hopefully next summer mom and dad can plan a vacation around it :)

Thank goodness we did not even miss the Mutton Bustin' (little kids riding sheep). The kiddo who won made it all the way to the center of the arena where the herd of sheep that had already been ridin' were waiting and then he was drug a few extra feet. Pretty impressive for a 5 or 6 year old. I must say that someday when I am a parent it would sure be a worthwhile event to enter my child into!!!

Cort and I dressed in our finest western attire

Must bust out the cowgirl boots for an event like this

Having fun with the camera :)

The venue: The Idaho Center

The One Arm Bandit show from Oklahoma

The one arm bandit and his horse chased these two buffalo onto the top of the horse trailer (impressive!)

Documenting my attire from head to toe

We even got a fun hand stamp for the Mikes Hard Lemonade!

Meet Mr. Moo, aka Kit Kat

I would like to introduce you all to my new found friend. I actually didn't find him, but rather he found me. When Cortney and I first moved into our new house I would occassionally see this not so furry friend in the alley and he would run away whenever I got anywhere near him. When I returned from spending 4th of July in San Diego apparently this cat decided to claim our home as his home also.

He is quite friendly now and anytime you step outside the back door he is sure to follow you and rub up against your legs. When sitting in the basement he will lay at the window and watch your every move. I recently decided to buy him some food and give him water because he has been sticking around 24 hours a day. Who knows why he chose us, maybe because he knew we could not have any pets here. As my mom says, "he is just an answer to my prayers!"

Meet Mr. Moo (through the screen door)

Saturday morning Mr. Moo is anxiously waiting on the patio for me
Kit Kat waving or cleaning himself, I am not sure!
Oh stretch!

He is off the market

Well today's posts are catching up for lost time and I need to fill you in on the order these things have occurred. For starters I am sad to inform you all that Jesse Csincsak is off the market ladies and gentlemen!!!

Kaytee had me excited that once the Bachelorette ended I could begin using the contact info. I had for him. Well unfortunately, Deanna got him and everyone watching national television knows this. Who says that because of this recent hook up I can't still take him up on the offer to call him when I am in Colorado for snowboarding lessons?

Well grandmother and I will just have to continue being friendly on airplanes to make more acquaintances with famous individuals!
