He made it very clear for his birthday he wanted to go to a Saints came and Texas Stockyards. When I looked at the football schedule what would be the odds that the Saints would be playin the Cowboys at Cowboys stadium 3 days after his birthday? I knew it was meant to be.
We had a little family party and went out to eat to celebrate.
We are headed to Texas.....Peace Out
Since it was Rhetts birthday he loves Cattlemans so thats where we went for dinner to celebrate
Prairie Light in Grand Prairie had a drive through lights and we thought it would be so fun to take the kids. In Louisiana we dont have anything close to this. It brought back so many memories as my Moms borhter lived there before he passed away with cancer and we would love coming out to see him and doing so much becuase Texas is where its at!
You cant come to Texas and not eat any BBQ so we hit up this little jiont in the Stockyards
Everyday at 11:30am and 4pm they have a Cattledrive where all the cows walk down the Stockyards and Cowboys on horses with whips guide them as everyone stands on the sides and watch
I love my crew! I noticed that the Farmer looks like he is fixing to pitch a baseball or he knew I was taking picture so he thought he would give me a good ole view of the goods.
Either way I like it I love it I want some more of it! Well lets just be honest sometimes I do
We even found Cowboy Santa
You must not know about me ...... This is how we roll
They have a Rodeo kids town and I thought since Im fun size I would give it a try and let me tell ya its not easy. I need handlebars not reins. I thought I was going to flip.
Our rodeo clown for the day
Rhett taking Bevo for a spin
We even got locked up
We took the kids into BillyBobs {judge away}
They had so much fun and got so buck wild we have this picture to prove it
They will always remember this was there first bar to play pool in and their parents took them there and taught them how to play or tried to teach them how to play.
Being I live no where close to the Heavenly place I have to stop its a must.
I was dying to get my hands on a red velvet one. As soon as I saw it my heart got all happy and I could already taste that hot piece of heaven but when I was handed my order I knew it went all kinds of wrong as I could feel my order wasnt even close to warm much less hot so I grabbed my red velvet doughnut and took a bite ive been dreaming about and I spit that mess out...This whole KK experience was Whack Jack and thats a Fact! I have never been so disappointed you just dont mess with a fat girl and her food thats a sin!
I dont know what it is but there is always something sexy about a man on a horse holding a rope.
Forgot to mention the day before we left I had to take Rhett to doctor and they said he has chicken pox but since he has had his vaccine he is not contagious due to the fact that his few bumps will not fester. I was in disbelief but reassured me and told me it was safe to go on with out trip. Wi9th that being said I didn't get very close to anyone except people that I didn't like or was rude I would push Rhett right on over to them. Whoops!



















Kelli you crack me up. I so wish we were neighbors. Please do a vlog!!
